The Open Centre:
Trainings & CPD Workshops
2011
24 days in six four-day training blocks
Starts November 25-28, 2011
This one year course is an introduction to modern Reichian bodywork, combining intensive personal experience with theoretical and practical training. It is this continuous combination and interrelation of experiential and theoretical and practical material that makes this course so valuable – knowledge is gained from inside and outside and thus integrated much deeper.
The course is for both practitioners and non-practitioners alike. It can be a powerful supplementary training in Deep Bodywork for practitioners to enhance their current practice, and can equally be taken as an intensive one year course for personal development.
Life is above all movement and change and being with ourselves and others. Animals remind us of that marvellous ability of moving with ease and commitment. Physical tightness, restricting beliefs, controlling emotions strangle our sense of self and our connection to others. Deep bodywork is a process of exploring these “blocks” and transforming them into available energy.
When more connected to ourselves and our inner rhythms and responsive to the changing realities around us, we feel more alive, can make better decisions, and gain more control over our life and relate better to others.
Course content:
• Working with body energetic processes:
the energetic cycle and its phases, working with breath, charging and discharging, counterpulsations and blocks in the body’s energy flow.
• Energetic Integration: energy, movements and emotion; energetics in relationships; bodywork, Gestalt techniques.
• Segments of the Energetic Body: The formation and nature of armour in the bodymind; segmentation in body tissues, structures and functioning; trauma and healing.
• The development of Character: pre and peri-natal influences, stages in child development; character structures and patterns; fragmented, oral, inflated, compressed, rigid patterns.
• The body as the basis of projection (of ideas onto others): working with projection, body resonance, body transference and body countertransference.
Please contact Silke for more details.
Upon successful completion of the course a Certificate in Deep Bodywork will be issued.
There will be Deep Bodywork workshops on Oct 22/23 2011, March 10/11 2012 and Jul 1 2012 at the Open Centre.

In this workshop we will fine-tune our ability to recognize and use the body's signs and signals in ourselves and in our clients. and learn to better notice and trust bodily experienced somatic resonance - thus enhancing our empathy and also preventing overload and burnout.

Pulsing is playing with the rhythms of the body. This Pulsing Intensive allows time for getting to know the basis of this kind of massage as it applies in a side position.

A 2 year multimodal Facilitator Course 2012-13
Co-directed by Guy Gladstone & Amadis Cammell
HA is 21 weekend workshops, all with a preliminary evening and a follow-up morning meeting, culminating in a weeklong residential. While allowing for diverse intentions and an only minimally preconceived process, HA will provide an extended forum for psychological and social healing, an authentic spirituality, an encounter with creativity, and a reconnection with our bodies and the natural world. This is a post-modern interpretation of the traditional alchemical project, based on current transmutational paradigms and grounded in humanistic activities. We depart January 2012. Applications from individuals able to stay the course are respectfully invited.
