Bioenergetics

5 - 7 sept 2008

The weekend will be held by two wonderful therapists,
Pavita and Aamod, who will share their hearts, wisdom and powerful tools. They both have a long experience working with bioenergetics and other kinds of body therapies.
They live at the Center of Namastê in Brazil, which is a flowering community and training center for bioenergetics open for people from all over the world. For more info have a look at: http://www.namaste.com.br/en/index.htm

*Joy *

*Here is a good place to be!*

The ultimate "here" for everyone is our bodies. This is the physical place we are all "stuck with" for a lifetime! If you have watched little children playing with their bodies, though, you may have seen that it is a tremendous source of joy to them. So it was for us too, once. How did that feeling get lost? How did we lose our capacity to connect with and enjoy the feelings our bodies give us?

It is in our bodies that we experience all of our feelings. Sadness, anger, fear, joy, pleasure are all energy waves that rush through our bodies making them vibrate and creating shifts in our consciousness. As we grow up and learn to judge and repress those feelings, we lose the natural flow of our emotions, having to turn rigid and stiff in order to accomplish that unfortunate mission.

Alexander Lowen, in his book "Joy" states that: "When feelings are repressed the person loses the capacity to feel, which is depression, a state which unfortunately can become a lifestyle. (?) Repressing one feeling is to repress all the others. If we repress our fear, we repress our anger.
Repressing anger results in repressing love."

And like that we go on, experiencing "virtual sensations" rather than throbbing with the pulse of life, and trying to convince ourselves that that's good enough. No cyberspace can substitute the warm wave of fulfillment of a real hug, the heat and the rush of energy that comes from sexual pleasure, or even the relief and the melting feeling that we access after a good cry?

Only in our bodies we can fully experience the here and now, the only space where reality is happening.

On this weekend we will work with Bioenergetics, talking, laughing, hugging and a few other things-humans-do, which will switch you off from the virtual world and help you dive into the real one.

About Bioenergetics
Bioenergetics is a powerful tool that promotes real changes in life. That happens because it moves your body-mind-emotions, releasing tensions, repressed feelings and distorted patterns of understanding reality which we all create, along our lives, to "fit in" our families, groups of friends, society, "The World". Letting go of these knots you find the way to live your naturalness, where your body, your feelings and your mind can respond to each situation according to your truth.
Our work takes people from a survival position, avoiding risks and leading a safe and limited life to an atitude of opening to the wonders and challenges that life brings us ? the only space where love, beauty and truth fit.
Be ready to move, sweat, breath, express and see yourself with fresh eyes and a vibrating heart.
