The workshop provides an introduction to the body-oriented psychotherapy approach of modern Bioenergetic Analysis. This approach emphasizes increased vitality, capacity for enjoying life, and connection with oneself and others. The day will be both didactic and experiential to give participants an opportunity to learn some of the theory of Bioenergetic Therapy and to experience some of the techniques of this method. In the workshop we will demonstrate exercises to facilitate grounding, expanded breathing, creating healthy boundaries and expressing emotions in a clear and appropriate way. Mental health practitioners will learn new ways of viewing their work and will gain practice with some body based techniques to use with their clients. Lay people are welcome and will have an opportunity to derive some of the benefits of integrating work with their mind, body and spirit. Dress in comfortable clothing for this informative and experiential workshop!
