Enriched by elements of Somatic Experiencing® & the Feldenkrais Method®
with Amona Buechler and Uta Buechler
Additional details about the retreat
Focusing: Accesses the body’s wisdom for transforming inner conflict
Accompanied by a listener, we are deeply present to what happens inside of ourselves, such as sensations, emotions, images, words, gestures, and atmospheres. Occasionally we express our inner experiences to the listener. While both Focuser and listener hold the space for everything that arises with a friendly, accepting, and compassionate attitude, this process becomes an incredibly powerful catalyst for acceptance, insight, and change.
Authentic Movement: Lets us develop trust in our innermost, unknown, and surprising impulses
Sensing attentively into the impulses of our body, we allow them to freely express themselves in movement, stillness, or voice, naturally, unmanipulated and without music or a theme. Another person witnesses us in an open-hearted way and is available for non-judgmental verbal exchange afterwards. Body and mind can let go of resistance and deeply relax with what is there. We develop a compassionate inner witness and come in touch with deeply meaningful and surprising aspects of ourselves, of others, and that which lies beyond our personal stories.
Feldenkrais®: Provides refined tools to discover and free ourselves from long-held muscular tensions
Through slow-guided movement explorations we develop awareness of body and mind. Rather than teaching skills, this approach offers guidance for self-discovery, and for a learning that is unique to each participant. As our sensory self-perception grows, we recognize habits, access new possibilities, and thereby improve our quality of movement and coordination. We increasingly attain a greater freedom of choice, and develop an inner authority about well-balanced and spontaneous action in our daily lives.
Somatic Experiencing®: Helps transform blocked energy into aliveness and ease
Through profound neurological understanding and a very specific way of sensing the body, SE helps to release trauma, as well as everyday stress. At times we are overwhelmed, don’t feel at home in our bodies, feel numb, or are in a purely functioning mode. Here, SE provides the tools for releasing these old patterns of automatic reactions. We come in touch with our inner resources, develop healthy boundaries, and respond to other people and to life more openly and creatively again.
