Sensory Awareness Workshops

Judyth — Sun, 26 Nov 2006 17:22:35 +0000

We are naturally born as vital, fully sensory beings. Traumas, tensions, even some education can diminish our vitality, creating unrest and insecurity in our lives. Sensory Awareness - the practice of deeply exploring our sensations, our actions and interactions, through practical sensing experiments - can guide us back to our natural resources and lead us to more authenticity and vitality. Through Sensory Awareness we can recover ways of living more fully in the world, rediscovering the wisdom and interconnection of our whole selves and reclaiming our natural being.

Perinatal Psychology for Health and Healing Workshop at Esalen Institute, March 14-16, 2008

Judyth — Wed, 31 Oct 2007 00:10:46 +0000

Please also see the attached flyer below.

The field of prenatal and perinatal psychology has grown out of research that shows how prenates and neonates feel, have memories, and respond specifically to their experiences, and how adults unconsciously remember and base actions and reactions throughout their lives on these early experiences.

Many health issues-physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual-can be linked to prenatal and birth experiences and parent-infant bonding. Patterns for one’s ability to deal with stress and trauma are also laid down in these early, preverbal times.

In an experiential format, this program will explore embryological and infant development, the effects of various life occurrences, ways to promote healthy births, and protocols for therapeutic interventions and repairing trauma. The workshop will teach listening, acknowledging, attuning, and somatically tracking movement patterns and the fluctuation of the nervous system-thereby offering the support that may not have been there in the past and perhaps providing resolution to issues that have seemed to resist other therapeutic attempts.

The program will include discussion, individual process, and practical tools for integrating one’s insights and discoveries. This work can be important to therapists, teachers, social workers, parents, parents-to-be, those trying to conceive, and anyone who works with people or who wants to learn more about themselves.

Esalen is offering CE credit for psychologists, MFTs, LCSWs and nurses.

Perinatal Psychology For Health & Healing

Pre- & Perinatal Somatic Process Workshops

Judyth — Thu, 23 Nov 2006 18:53:38 +0000

The degree of connection between mother and child (and father too) during pregnancy as well as bonding and attachment after birth makes a substantial difference in the life of the entire family. Research shows experiences prenatal and around birth have deep, lasting effects and pattern our lives in many ways. Many life issues - physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, developmental, and parent-infant bonding - may be linked to prenatal and birth experiences. A Pre- & Perinatal Process Workshop is an intensive, personal approach that works to repattern trauma and to support deep healing in the somatic and interpersonal realms. These workshops develop ways to promote healthy births, and protocol for therapeutic interventions and healing around trauma.

The following Process Workshops will be in Mill Valley, California:

And in Cortes Island, B.C., Canada:

August 16-19, 2008

A total of four Process Workshops must be taken for a Certificate of Completion of the Somatic Training in Pre- & Perinatal Psychology & Therapy.

T’ai Chi Ch’uan Workshops

Judyth — Mon, 30 Oct 2006 20:04:35 +0000

Known for generations as an exercise for longevity and relaxation, T’ai Chi Ch’uan is now amazing contemporary researchers with results of enhanced immune systems, better balance, more flexibility and strength. This exercise, suitable for all ages and body types, is a moving meditation that centres and calms our minds as well as being a form of healing, of self-defence, and physical re-education.

Judyth will not be teaching a T’ai Chi Retreat on Cortes Island the summer of 2008. There will be one scheduled for August, 2009.

Judyth is still giving private lessons in Mill Valley, California, Seattle, Washington and Cortes Island, B.C., Canada.
