Seishindo Personal Growth Workshop

Embodied Wisdom
Embracing the Wisdom of your Body's Intelligence
April 7, 8, 9, 2006 Washington DC

Many of the confusing messages we all live with inside our heads stem from an incomplete understanding of one's "self." In the Western world we generate confusion by believing that logic is to be valued over emotion, and that the "mind" resides only in the brain and not in the body. In the Orient, logic and emotion are seen as two sides of the same coin, and the body is understood to be intelligent, expressive, and wise.

In Seishindo, we utilize the Oriental belief of intelligent body
to help you live more fully in the Western world.

In this workshop you will learn how to:
Use your body to teach your rational mind how to think in a more balanced manner.
Express what you feel and long for, through the creative process of embodied presence.
Release excess energy trapped in your body and transmute it into fuel for positive change.
Build body language communication pathways to help support your ongoing personal growth.
Use self hypnosis to better understand your emotional, psychological and spiritual experiences.

During the course of this workshop we will weave together theory, poetry, music, movement and practical applications, leading you to a clear encounter of reconnecting to your core identity.

This workshop will draw on the teachings of Aikido, the Japanese healing arts of Sei Tai and Seiki Jutsu, Ericksonian Hypnosis, NLP, yoga, and other mindfulness disciplines.

Intended for
Private individuals interested in personal growth, consultants, coaches, therapists, bodyworkers...
