  July 12 to December 13, 2023 Rob Parker studied philosophy with Gene Gendlin for several hours a week from 2003 until Gene's passing in 2017. Rob has been leading A Process Model (APM) reading groups for many years and we are delighted that Rob has now teamed up with the Institute to offer them.

  We will read and discuss A Process Model chapters I through IV. This covers roughly a quarter of the book and most of the “basic” concepts from which the rest of A Process Model is derived. We will learn many new concepts such as body-environment interaction, en#1, #2, #3, and #0, implying and occurring, recognizing, carrying forward, feedback, eveving, sbs, metaphor, crossing, and a new concept of time. These concepts will give us a deeper understanding of Gendlin's philosophy, and the beginning of an understanding of Focusing (although we'll have to wait for Chapter VIII to understand Focusing in depth).

  More importantly, Chapters I – IV will bring us to the threshold of a new world, a new and gradually deepening understanding, not just of Focusing, but of life and of ourselves. If we stay on this path, we will gradually gain the ability to think in new ways as we gradually free ourselves from a plethora of assumptions inherent in our culture. We'll discover that Process Model concepts are not like the concepts we’re used to; they are like handles in Focusing, each concept pointing to a new felt sense of life, and all the concepts together forming a path toward something even larger, over and over… Like the path up a mountain, every step gives you a better view, and the further you go, the better it gets.

  Rob Parker grew up in a scientific family, with a deep appreciation for the power and elegance of modern science. Rob was also interested in spirituality from an early age, and has practiced yoga and zazen for many years. And all along, he has sensed that science and spirituality must be related, because reality doesn’t come in separate packages. These interests led to a career in psychology, an area where science and spirit seem to overlap, and to an interest in the philosophical assumptions that underlie modern science. Rob specialized in psychological trauma; he designed and directed several treatment programs for trauma survivors and trauma perpetrators, published and lectured for professional audiences and appeared on national media.

  His experience as a psychologist made Rob acutely aware of the problems inherent in our current approach to science. In 2000, the search for a new scientific paradigm led him to visit philosopher Eugene Gendlin. Rob recognized in Gendlin’s work a revolutionary new way of exploring and understanding science, spirituality, meaning and the related issues of our time. Recognizing a once in a lifetime opportunity, Rob began meeting regularly with Gendlin until his death in 2017. This class is part of Rob’s ongoing commitment to understand and experience Gendlin’s philosophy ever more deeply (learning by teaching), and to share that understanding and experience with others.

  6 Office hours?21 Self-study hours

  Registration

  Full Description:

  Designed for those individuals who have completed a Level One training in Hakomi Experiential Psychotherapy, Level Two focuses on the map of character theory and practice. Character refers to early learning and adaptation processes. As children, we imprint experiences that shape our neural development in ways that result in an enduring set of beliefs and perceptions. These beliefs, or implicit models, unconsciously organize our behavior resulting in automatic and habitual strategies for living that are both adaptive and limiting.

  Level Two of Hakomi Mindful Somatic Psychology continues to develop the skills and practices learned in Level One, introduces new theoretical maps to help refine participants' application of the Hakomi method, and includes extensive advanced supervision. Satisfactory completion of Level One is the prerequisite for acceptance into Level Two. This level focuses on in-depth coverage of the Hakomi method's conceptualization of character theory, an understanding of the organization of personality and character into patterns that reveal developmental and cultural wounding. Participants are guided in creating customized strategies to help attune to and access clients' core material, offering reparative experiences to help heal developmental trauma/attachment wounds and cultural wounds.

  Objectives:

  In this training you will learn to:

  • Recognize the somatic organization and governing beliefs related to each of the character strategies
  • Engage effectively with the five basic categories of character strategies used in Hakomi Experiential Psychotherapy
  • Implement effective clinical strategies for working with character in a psychotherapeutic context through demonstrations and experiential exercises
  • Evaluate client-therapist interactions from the perspective of character development
  • Work with sensitivity to the neurobiological context of of human change processes, including character formation and change
  • Use Hakomi's dynamic diagnostic map, the Hakomi Sensitivity Cycle, to tailor your interventions with greater precision
  • Employ mindful self-awareness to address counter-transference and therapist's core issues that impact clinical effectiveness
  • Review and deepen your skill in working with child states to bring about lasting transformation

  Cost: $3200 with $500 deposit by 7/13/23 8/15/23; $3700 with a $500

  ***Early Bird Rate Extended to August 15th, 2023!

  Realization Process Meditation Teacher Online Certification Training

  Attunement Practices for Embodied Nondual Realization

  With Judith Blackstone, PhD

  October 6, 2023-April 12, 2024

  Register

  Dates of classes with Judith - Fridays, 1:00-2:30 PM Eastern. October 6, October 20, November 3, November 17, December 1, December 15, February 2, February 16, March 1, March 15, March 29, April 12.

  Format - twelve ninety-minute classes live on Zoom with Judith, six optional review classes with Candace Cave, eleven reports/questions answered by Judith via email, weekly practice with a partner assigned to you within the group, monthly practice with someone outside of the group, optional peer cohort practice sessions

  The Realization Process attunement practices offer an effective complement to any psychotherapy modality by teaching a method of deepening inward contact with oneself that cultivates wholeness, vitality, relaxation and authenticity. The practices can contribute to healing attachment issues by helping people connect deeply with other people without losing inward contact with themselves.

  In the Realization Process, nondual realization is the uncovering of our primary nature: fundamental consciousness pervading our body and environment as a unity. This training teaches the main Realization Process practices for embodied nondual awakening, as well as specific practices for cultivating the subtlety, openness, luminosity and steadiness of nondual realization. The training includes sitting, standing and walking meditations for opening subtle perception, refining your breath and energy and deepening your innate capacities for love, pleasure and mental clarity. As fundamental consciousness, we are both empty and present. We are both whole within our individual being and unified with everyone and everything around us.

  Participants will learn how to perceive and help people overcome individual obstacles to nondual realization, and how to accelerate results in meditation practice for both beginning and advanced practitioners. The training is also an opportunity to deepen your own realization of fundamental consciousness, through intensive practice of the Realization Process meditations.

  Requirements for registration: Five hours of experience of the Realization Process practices with Judith Blackstone or a senior Realization Process teacher (not a book or recording).

  Cost - $1600 ($1200 for USABP members).

  Wisdom of the Moving Body
  

  A six-week online, experiential seminar in trauma-informed somatic movement practices for therapists, body workers and somatic practitioners with Paula Josa-Jones, MA, CLMA, MSMET, SEP, TTEAM

  Register

  This is a six-week online, experiential seminar in trauma-informed somatic movement practices for therapists, body workers and somatic practitioners
  Wednesdays, October 18 - December 13
  (no class October 25, November 22)
  5:30-8pm
  $650

  This class deepens our connection to the body through conscious movement, breath, touch, sound and imagery. In learning to move from the body's own innate rhythms and impulses, we open to deeper expressivity and vitality. Grounding experience in the moving body dissolves the separation between inner and outer experiencing, allowing us to sense and feel ourselves and others with greater compassion and curiosity.

  The skills we will cover in this class will build confidence in your ability to integrate movement as a tool for supporting trauma recovery by deepening your embodiment and somatic movement experience and awareness.
  

  The goals of this program are:

  + Building skill and confidence in your ability to integrate movement into your therapeutic practice.

  +Understanding how movement awareness can enhance your observational and relational skills.

  +Learning how to bring improvisational and intentional somatic movement perspectives and insights to your practice.

  +Understanding the fundamentals of Laban Movement Analysis and how it can expand your understanding and experience of movement expression.

  Paula Josa-Jones is a dance and movement artist who has taught Authentic Movement, somatic movement studies, composition, and improvisation for the past 40 years at universities, colleges, and dance festivals nationally and internationally. Her work includes choreography for humans, inter-species work with horses, dancers and riders, film and video. She is a Certified Laban Movement Analyst (CLMA), a Master Somatic Movement Educator and Therapist (MSMET), a Tellington TTouch Practitioner I, and a Somatic Experiencing® trauma-informed practitioner (SEP). Paula assists Somatic Experiencing trainings at all levels. Her other training includes somatic practice classes with Kathy Kain and many years of study of Body-Mind Centering with Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen and currently with Amy Matthews. She maintains a private practice in Kent, CT. Her work with clients (virtual and in person) integrates the principles of Somatic Experiencing®with somatic movement practices and touch skills, and can also integrate therapeutic work with horses.

  Training in Bioenergetic Analysis

  Register

  The Massachusetts Society for Bioenergetic Analysis Professional Training Program provides in-depth training in the theory and practice of Bioenergetic Analysis following the guidelines and curriculum of the International Institute for Bioenergetic Analysis (IIBA). The training includes didactic and experiential teaching methods, relevant readings, discussions, and extensive group work. Trainees who complete the full training program are eligible to apply to become Certified Bioenergetic Therapists through the International Institute of Bioenergetic Analysis.

  In addition to the theory and practice of Bioenergetic Analysis, the training focuses on personal growth.

  By understanding how our history shaped our present, how our character structure evolved, and how we can decrease our fears and energetic blocks, we can move toward being the therapists we strive to be. Ultimately, as Bioenergetic therapists, our bodily experience and our personal development guide our work. Thus, we strongly emphasize individual Bioenergetic therapy for trainees, both in the group and with their personal therapist.

  Register

  In this end-of-the-year movement workshop, we sense and shift with the changing rhythms of the earth and invite our bodies to slow down.

  Presented by: Tamalpa Institute

  Date: Mondays, November 27 - December 18

  Full Description:

  The Winter Solstice marks the transition between seasons, inviting us to turn inward and make space for renewal in our lives.

  In this end-of-the-year movement workshop, we sense and shift with the changing rhythms of the earth and invite our bodies to slow down. We honor the darkness and celebrate the returning light.

  Using a multi-modality approach from the Life-Art Process, we weave movement, drawing, and writing to give voice to our journeys. We work with Anna Halprin’s Movement Ritual & Dance Explorations, a somatic dance practice to help release stress, heighten kinesthetic awareness, and spark creative expression.

  We invite this question: If your body could speak, what will you let go, what will you take in?

  Participants draw, write, and create altar offerings to honor the darkness and call forth the sunlight. We come together and share solstice reflections as the year ends and a new one begins.

  Open to all! Please have a comfortable space to move and have drawing and writing materials on hand.

  We all go through it. No one is immune. And nothing produces more universal shame in our society than aging. Whereas many societies have deep respect for people as they age and see a vital role for elders, our society still worships youth.

  In this workshop, we will explore and learn to be more comfortable with our own aging process. And we will explore ways to help clients talk about, explore and heal their own shame around aging.

  We will:
  Discover ways to help clients become aware of the many messages they received and continue to receive about aging and body image from family and society.

  Learn ways to help clients cope with the shame of not being able to do all that they once did.

  Understand counter-shaming techniques to help ourselves and our clients find pride and joy in the new reality-seeing that there are real gains as well as losses in this new stage of life.

  Work with the shame that can cause and result from sicknesses and injuries.
  

  Identify challenges in being looked at as unimportant and "not up to par" by a youth-oriented society and the layers of shame that can occur.

  Discover how to make the necessary adjustments so we can regain access to the life force and creativity that we still have in a grounded and embodied way.

  Begin to shift and transform cultural stereotypes about aging by finding a reservoir of vitality, inner vision and clear action for the next phase of life, that may be hidden under shame!

  WE ALL GO THROUGH IT. NO ONE IS IMMUNE. AND NOTHING PRODUCES MORE UNIVERSAL SHAME IN OUR SOCIETY THAN AGING. AND IT STARTS WHEN WE HAVE BARELY BEGUN TO ENJOY OUR ADULTHOOD. BY MID-THIRTIES, WE ARE ALREADY BEGINNING TO EXPERIENCE THE CHANGES.

  Whereas many societies have deep respect for people as they age and see a vital role for elders, our society still worships youth. What are we to do as we face the natural progression of losing muscle tone, hair, short term memory and many other physical and mental functions in a society that sees us as lacking if we’re not forever young? Shame is the feeling that “something is wrong with me.” How can we not feel that something is wrong with us as we undergo all these losses in the face of an indifferent and shaming society?

  In this workshop, we will learn how to be more comfortable with our own aging process. And we will look at ways to help clients talk about, explore, and heal their own shame around aging.

  We will:

  Discover ways to help clients become aware of the many messages they received and continue to receive about aging and body image from family and society.

  Learn ways to help clients cope with the shame of not being able to do all that they once did.

• Hakomi Mindful Somatic Psychotherapy: An Experiential Introduction

  • Start
    9 Dec 2023
  • End
    10 Dec 2023
  • Location
    Online

  Hakomi Mindful Somatic Psychotherapy: An Experiential Introduction
  (instructed in English language)

  Faculty: Julia Corley, MA, LCHMCA, NCC, SEP, Certified Hakomi Trainer

  December 9th-10th, 2023 Online – Live

  Hakomi is a body-centered (somatic) approach. The body is viewed as a “map of the psyche” - a door that can be opened to reveal the entire unconscious belief system of the individual. The body’s habitual patterns can become a powerful access route to deeply held core material.

  This workshop provides an immersive introduction to the Method, this includes lectures from the faculty, experiential exercises, demonstrations, discussion, group process sessions, and supervision.

  Current neuroscience research has confirmed the basis for many foundational aspects of the Hakomi Method, including the effectiveness of mindfulness, loving presence, empathic attunement, limbic resonance, and memory reconsolidation.

  We develop exquisite sensitivity and attunement, using empathic skills to read and contact subtle, unconscious cues. When integrated into the session with unique Hakomi techniques, it creates a rapid, experiential access route to unconscious core beliefs and implicit memories that invisibly shape our lives and behavior. Once conscious and directly experienced, these are available for memory re- consolidation and transformation, including the healing of attachment issues.This experiential process evokes a powerful “felt sense” for the client, allowing them to take ownership of core patterns as they emerge, and to integrate new options.

  Hours: Saturday: 9:30am-12:45pm & 1:45-5:15pm

  Break times: 10:45-11am, 12:45-1:45pm, 3:15-3:30pm

  & Sunday: 9:30am-12:45pm & 1:45-5:15pm

  Break times: 11:30-11:45am, 12:45-1:45pm, 3:15-3:30pm

  All hours are Eastern Standard Time (EST)

  Cost: Early Registration $295 by November 9th, 2023, $335 thereafter. Last day to register & pay December 5th, 2023

  Refund & Cancellation Policy: Refunds only on cancellations made at least 3 business days prior to the workshop (less $75 non-refundable registration fee)

  Registration

  Objectives

  • Introduce the unique application of mindfulness that supports access in therapeutic settings
  • Practice skills to enhance the therapist's self-regulation & embodiment & therapeutic relationship.
  • Utilize Hakomi principles, e.g. nonviolence in therapy, to create safety for the client
  • Discover the importance of the exploratory (experimental) attitude as a key component of the Hakomi Method.
  • Recognize the power of noticing the subtle somatic cues of the body & using this as the basis to build on the therapeutic relationship.
  • Observe the application of Hakomi skills & principles in the experiential process as a way to access unconscious core material.

  Instructor Bio

  Julia Corley, M.S., L.C.H.M.C.-A, is a Certified Hakomi Trainer and Therapist. She received her M.A. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Appalachian State University in Boone, NC, and has a private practice in Hillsborough, NC. Julia has done healing work since 1998, first as a massage therapist with a passion for the mind/body connection and now as a somatic psychotherapist and educator. She is also a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner and a Licensed Massage and Bodywork Therapist.

  Michael Lee grew up in Australia, where he worked as a teacher and behavioral scientist in the field of personal and organizational change before leaving for the USA in 1984.

Michael founded Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy in 1986 based on his learning and integration of yoga and elements of contemporary psychology which is now supported by neuroscience. Michael is the author of two books, Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy—Bridge from Body to Soul and Turn Stress Into Bliss.

  He is also a contributing author to the American Psychological Association published book Beyond Talk Therapy: Using movement and expressive techniques in clinical practice.

  USABP On The Move is an opportunity for our community to connect and experience restorative practices while getting exposure to many forms of somatic movement and mindful body-awareness programs. 

  The root of e-motion is “to move.” The same regions of the brain responsible for movement also carry out our cognitive processes. Our brain evolved from movement and still depends on it day to day. Join us to discover how conscious movement can bring nourishing restoration, playful community connection, and the understanding of how moving helps our thoughts, words, and actions.

  Somatic tools may include, among others, breath, movement, self-directed touch, sound vibration, and conscious dialogue.

  Cost 
  Free to members and guest. 
  
  We request that attendees make a donation in support of our programs. USABP is member supported and a contribution based on your resources would be greatly appreciated.

  We are proud to share this introductory SoULL program, which substantially improves the quality of people’s ordinary lives and expands pracitioners breadth of practice and stamina.

  What do we do? In this course, students are introduced to a somatically-oriented overview of human development, and a language of human life that includes growth, aging and dying. Students learn to see spiritual, energetic and physical experience as deeply connected through the human life span and even beyond. On its own, this course helps people reorient their ideas of life and death and know themselves as part of nature, not opposed to it, which radically reduces existential anxiety. This course also offers a way for students to step into SoULL material without a full year commitment.

  Designed for those individuals who have completed at least 120 hours of training in Hakomi Experiential Psychotherapy, the Character series focuses on the map of character theory and practice. Character refers to early learning and adaptation processes. As children, we imprint experiences that shape our neural development in ways that result in an enduring set of beliefs and perceptions. These beliefs, or implicit models, unconsciously organize our behavior resulting in automatic and habitual strategies for living that are both adaptive and limiting.

• The Nature of Being Human (Online)

  • Start
    23 May 2024
  • End
    27 May 2024
  • Location
    Zoom

  In this course students are introduced to a language of human life that includes growth, aging and dying as we do a somatically-oriented overview of human development. Students learn to see spiritual, energetic and physical experience as deeply connected through the human life span and beyond. On its own, this course helps people reorient their ideas of life and death and know themselves as part of nature, not opposed to it. This radically reduces existential anxiety.

  The Nature of Being Human is taught in small classes and, like all SoULL material, is didactic, interactive and highly experiential. This material is powerful and completely accessible for people who are not therapists. Do not think that this course is only for professionals. Never fear. It is for any curious, open-minded adult.

  This in-person session takes place at the DeKoven Center in Racine, WI.

  MAY 23,2024—MAY 27,2024
