Curriculum Details:
Seminar 1: Dreams and Body Symptoms as Wisdom Advisers and Powerful Allies.
Working with Dreams and Body Symptoms Using Process Work Methods
Are you seeking your own authentic path to health, wisdom, spirituality, and social fulfillment? While the guidance of Western doctors and Eastern gurus offers valuable perspectives, discovering your personal gateways to universal wisdom can be profoundly transformative. These gateways open to you naturally—every night through your dreams and throughout your day through bodily sensations, including pain and other physical experiences. The methods of Process Oriented Psychology, or Process Work, provide a key to unlocking these doorways.
In this two-day seminar, you will learn and practice Process Work techniques to engage with your dreams and body symptoms, gaining fresh insights and developing powerful internal resources. Join us to discover how your dreams and body are already communicating the wisdom you seek.
The seminar will include:
Base Process Work theory. Introduction to three levels of consciousness by Arnold Mindell: consensus reality, dreamland and non-dual essence. Primary and Secondary Process. Edge and Edge figures. Channels as a way to experience and express dream energy.
Unfolding dream messages. Connection between dreams and body symptoms.
Working with nightmares.
Illness prevention and healing though dream work.
Integrating dream messages and energies into practical life solutions.
Practical exercises.
Seminar 2. Relationship Dances and Wars
There are few things more important in our lives than our relationships with others. We depend on these connections to help us obtain what we desire and deserve—love, opportunities, financial security, and peace. Throughout our academic years, we study numerous subjects, yet relationship skills remain notably absent from the curriculum. As adults, we discover that understanding the science of human connection is far more essential to our well-being than mathematics or chemistry.
How might we approach relationships with greater awareness? Are conflicts truly inevitable in our connections with others? Can we transform conflict into a pathway toward deeper intimacy rather than separation?
This seminar provides practical methods to better understand your relationships, conflicts, and developmental trajectories.
This seminar will include:
* Process Work theory in relationships: primary and secondary processes, edges, channels, and dream figures
* Techniques for working with individuals who trigger emotional responses
* Exploration of "high and low dreams": personal expectations and experiences of happiness and suffering in relationships
* Connecting to the relationship myth and practical exercises for addressing relationship conflicts
* The art of dancing with conflict
* Understanding relationships as spiritual paths: discovering relationship purpose and how it fosters personal growth
Seminar 3. Inner critic and creative flow
An inner critic can be a helpful part of our internal landscape. But in many cases the critic is too tough and instead of giving us guidance and advice, just puts us down and blocks our creativity and ability to move forward. Instead of inspiring us to do better, we want nothing to do with it.
This workshop will create a dynamic and playful exploration of an inner critic using mask making and Process Work. By approaching the critic with play and creativity, you will find its voice and style, and learn how to engage with the critic on productive and collaborative terms. This can begin a transformational process of befriending the critic and creating an ally for you.
Seminar 4. The dreams of a shaman. Navigating Challenging States of Consciousness
Extreme and Altered States, Spiritual Emergency, Addictions, Childhood Trauma, and Fear of Death
What distinguishes extreme states from altered states of consciousness? This seminar explores this fundamental question while examining various challenging psychological conditions.
We will investigate the powerful energies underlying addictions and addictive tendencies, learning effective methodologies for addressing these patterns.
Extreme and altered states. Spiritual emergency. Addictions and addictive tendencies. Working with Childhood Trauma. Fear of Death.What is the difference between extreme and altered states?
Seminar 5. Exploring your life myth. The art of charismatic presentations.
What constitutes our life myth? What unique purpose and heart-centered path are we meant to follow? How do these connect to our childhood dreams, early traumas, and persistent physical symptoms?
Our personal myth serves as the fundamental organizing principle guiding our journey through life. When we establish a connection with this inner narrative, navigating life's inevitable fluctuations becomes significantly more manageable—comparable to possessing a reliable map while understanding our destination.
In this transformative seminar, you will uncover your distinctive life myth by exploring childhood memories, dream patterns, formative traumas, and chronic bodily manifestations.
We will also examine the nature of charisma: Why do certain individuals naturally radiate this quality while others do not? How can you authentically cultivate magnetism and charm in your public presentations and interactions? Join us to discover these powerful dimensions of personal development.
Seminar 6. Group facilitator as a martial artist.
When you step out of the comfortable role of participant/student/follower into the role of facilitator/leader, the atmosphere around you changes dramatically. You suddenly enter a realm where people judge you, criticize you, and project themselves onto you.
In this seminar, you will learn how to navigate the challenging waters of being a public figure. You will discover your authentic facilitation style, develop strategies for handling critics, and transform your harsh inner critic into a powerful ally.
This seminar will include:
* Process work theory about group facilitation: social, psychological, and spiritual ranks; hosts and dream figures; factors that influence group dynamics
* Deep democracy and the principles of group conflict facilitation
* Practical exercises for working with groups and resolving group conflicts

System Insight: Transforming Obstacles into Resources
Many coaching clients express a common challenge: "I'm ready to advance in my career, business, or income, but something is blocking my progress." These obstacles take many forms—from personal relationships to undefined fears that prevent forward movement.
The "System Insight" method reveals the true energy and essence of these "obstacles," often uncovering that they contain powerful untapped resources. This approach helps identify what prevents you from harnessing these resources for creative development.
We work in a safe, ecological manner to integrate these resources into your life—preserving what already works while expanding your creative impact.
This seminar explores:
* System Insight methodology for discovering wisdom in money, career, and creativity
* Practical tools for coaches, managers, and business owners to resolve complex professional situations
* Techniques to help clients clarify their business field dynamics
* Strategies to uncover innovative directions, identify hidden resources, and balance energies in financial and career development
