Ireland 2012

I'm so happy to share the work in Ireland with the SHEP community of counselors and psychotherapists in Cork.



This June taught there the EFA (emotional first aid) course from the SE school, and advanced work in MBSE (Mindfulness based Somatic Experiencing).
Such an amazing group of people, with curiousity and genuine interest in personal development. A group that inspires me in the work they do in their community and with their kindness and honest inquiry.


Another training will happen this October, if you know of anyone that would like to join.




At the same time Sogyal Rinpoche was at Dzogchen Beara and I was so lucky to sit on his week long retreat. The subject was Compassion and the practice was Tonglen. I do love that practice, and recommend it wholeheartedly.

Mind-Body perspectives in Trauma therapy: SE and MBSE; JuDitta Ben-David M.A. SEP

Workshop: 10 - 12 May 2012 - House in Clil
An intro to Perspectives and Techniques in Trauma 
therapy
based in the Mind - Body Paradigm

Besel van der Kolk, Peter Levine, and Pat Ogden, from the pioneers in trauma therapy and research, both emphasis that Trauma is not the event, but in the holistic perception of it within the mind-body organism - "The Horror beyond Words". The Body is the Portal, and Mindfulness based techniques are the Vehicles to gentle heightened awareness, tracking and untangling what is 
Implicit and in a bind.


...one of the most exciting scientific discoveries the last twenty years is: How we focus our attention shapes the structure of the brain!...and- that we can grow these new connections throughout our lives, 
not just in childhood. (D. Siegel)


Training: 
Basic skills in Somatic Experience (SE), Focusing and Mindfulness will be taught embedded in Body oriented Psychotherapy and Neuroscience research - as well as an understanding of the inherent relationship to the age old wise Buddhist Dharma.
