Introductory workshop⎮Core Strokes™ ⎮Postural Integration® ⎮ Energetic Integration®⎮18-19 April 2020

Later dates here

With Dirk Marivoet, MSc. 

Trainer/Supervisor for Core Strokes™,  Postural Integration®, Energetic Integration® and Pelvic-Heart Integration® – Teacher/Supervisor for Core-Energetics®

THE WEEKEND

During the weekend you will be introduced to the Core Strokes™,  Postural and Energetic Integration® Therapy Models. During these two days we work with a synthesis of Reichian Breathwork, Gestalt, Body Reading, connective tissue work, bodymind drama and character analysis. Participants will have the opportunity to experience this work – focussing on “Posture” (physical, emotional, mental, spiritual) and on “Energy Economy” –  in a safe and inviting environment under the guidance of an experienced teacher with 35 years of experience in Body Psychotherapy. This is an opportunity for personal work and development in a group context. Given the integrative discipline-transcending character, this workshop is open to interested students and professional therapists. Bring especially your curiosity, your willingness, and your desire to move with you so that you can experience your body, feelings and emotions. For people who are interested in following the professional training in 2020, this Workshop gives you a sense whether to train yourself in this modality.  The contents and working methods that are provided in the training are adequately covered.

What is Core Strokes™ ?

Core Strokes™ is grounded in unconditional positive regard, empathy, congruence, authenticity, caring for the self and for the other, phenomenological assessment strategies, self-discovery, and insight. These core qualities permit therapeutic intervention in life areas which are otherwise hardly accessible, such as love, hope, meaning of life, loss, relationships, creativity, holism, spirituality, freedom, transcendence, personal growth, social justice, multicultural and gender issues, responsibility, and interdependence. 

Core Strokes™ sessions invite a person to come out with a new part of themselves, or an old part of themselves that has been hiding in their body as symptoms. The presence of the therapist should give the client the courage to begin revealing, purifying and transforming all that is coming out of him/her. 

What is Postural Integration®?

Postural Integration® is an approach that supports a growth process of the whole person, based on his posture. Your posture tells a lot about who you are. By profoundly liberating the myofascial tensions in your body in combination with simultaneous work with breath, movement, energy and the interpersonal relationship, the different body areas can be made aware individually and in relation to each other and the surrounding environment. Unprocessed and unconscious – possibly traumatic – experiences from your personal history can thus be integrated. Energetic Integration® works with the model of Jack Painter’s Energetic Cycle to improve “Energy Economy” and transforming stress, fatigue and blocked energy into flow and pleasure.

You can experience in this workshop the many ways in which you yourself prevent yourself from living deeply and fulfillingly. By learning to move the blocked energy and the associated emotions in a targeted way and to bring them into interaction, you come into a positive lifestream. You will find out how your body and your feelings are an important guideline for change in your life.

You will experience how in this process your entire body begins to change visibly and tangibly. In the work we do, we integrate Reichian insights and practices, Gestalt work, Acupressure (based on 5-elements theory), Bodymind Drama (Embodied role playing, Triangle work (Child, Father, Mother, Ancestors, other placeholders), etc.

People who have experienced this work firsthand, tell us that they become livelier, more powerful, joyful, courageous …. Postural and Energetic Integration® are creative, dynamic and ultimately enjoyable ways to fully experience the creativity, dynamism and joy of your own life force.

Currently we are running a PHI -3 year training in Hungary. For more information about this program, please go here.

In Body Psychotherapy, the body traditionally is seen as the “congealed life history” of the person. Evidence from neuroscience and research into the nature of consciousness reveals that “current awareness is a carpet that is woven with threads of memories from the past.” What this means is that we unconsciously tend to become entangled again and again in the same recurring patterns, which are based on impressions and conclusions from this (sometimes distant) past. From these entanglements arise ultimately all kinds of suffering, pain and discomfort that may affect our health.

The scientific research from the last 50 years, has shown that the CLIENT himself carries a vision as to the possible solutions and has implicit ideas about the desired change (a theory of change).

For the THERAPIST, the body is the guide to help reveal this theory of change, thus triggering an effective therapeutic process that leads to more satisfying, effective and satisfying interactions.

Body-oriented psychotherapists need in their guidance to learn how to trust their senses as necessary tools in the making of therapeutic contact. The ability to do this can throw the needed light on important aspects of the suffering that the client carries. These and other skills are demonstrated as well as practiced in this workshop.

Participants will be able to learn how to distinguish affective states from cognitive states. They can experience exercises in learning how to have an eye for and how to name the various emotional states as they appear in body posture, facial expressions and tone of voice. Naming the emotional states as opposed to only listen to the content of the words of the client, creates a kind of sheath to the emotions and makes them thus more manageable.

The process of becoming aware of feelings and cognitions evolves gracefully into specific forms of bodywork, in order to provide depth and feel to the process of transformation. For example, work with posture, movement, energy, voice, breathing, touch help to unlock, ground, limit and contain the powerful feelings and conflicts that are trapped in the bodymind. Gestalt process work, embodied psychodrama (bodymind drama) and deep bodywork help to release and integrate what you have learned to suppress and oppress – often associated with deficits in the satisfaction of basic needs. The way of working will help one to develop a perspective and an ability to be aware of how one feels and thinks without becoming immersed in those states.

The workshop is open to anyone interested in BodyMind Integration – Body Oriented Psychotherapy (both ” laypeople” and professionals can participate). Those who are interested in taking part in the body psychotherapy training will be provided all necessary information before enrolling.

Advanced Somatic Centering™ – Master Postural Integration® Training 08/2021

Advanced Somatic Centering™  & Master Postural Integration®

“Psychotherapeutic Touch, Fascia integration, Core Consciousness, Growth & Energy within a Body Psychotherapeutic & Bodymind Integration Frame”

A 10-day Residential Training in Guadalajara Mexico

Open for Body Psychotherapists & Bodymind Integrators who wish to integrate Psychotherapeutic Touch and Deep Bodywork in their practice 

Delivered Diploma: Advanced Somatic Centering™  or Master Postural Integration® Practitioner 

When? August 2021 (10 days) 

Where? Guadalajara – Mexico

Enjoy yourself with a group of colleagues coming from around the world and learn Advanced Somatics for Body Psychotherapy or Bodymind Integration, Psychotherapeutic Touch and Deep Bodywork skills focussing on the 4 Diaphragms of Body Balance.

About the Training

We will introduce you to methodological work with the inner core, different release work techniques and pathways to enjoyment of deep inner power. We will also introduce crucial discoveries from the last thirty years in natural and human sciences and implement many of these discoveries throughout the course of the workshop. New ideas and advanced directions for your practice will be suggested and our Advanced Manual will be provided to follow the classwork. The combination of practical work, deep experiential interactions, theoretical understanding of techniques and the enlargement of our system of scientific reference will improve your practice and allow for more robust experiences for your clients.

Teaching will be in English (translations possible into French, Dutch and German). It is a wonderful opportunity to meet practitioners-colleagues from all over the world.

Goals of the Advanced Somatics for Body Psychotherapy & Bodymind Integration Training: 

Touching the core – We will work with energy (known as “the energetic cycle”), psychotherapeutic touch techniques for interacting with the client at the level of intimacy and embodied empathy, the principles of “release and integration” and will gradually focus on the diaphragms of body balance which are the fontanelles along the cranium, the floor and ceiling of the mouth, the thoracic inlet with first rib, the breathing diaphragm and the pelvis. When these diaphragms are released, they begin to shift spontaneously, rhythmically and freely interact with one another creating warmth and wellbeing.

Extending and deepening your knowledge and skills. 

To deepen your knowledge base, many state of the art topics will be incorporated including overview and application of somatic methods, body language in action, advanced strategies for addressing developmental/ maturational needs, and unification/integration of polarities. Your skill levels will be further extended with the use of verbal and non-verbal language and meaning in body psychotherapy and the development of consciousness. We will introduce advanced sessions for working with the core.

Empowering the Practitioner

We will work with the physical aspects and the energy/consciousness of the pelvis expressed through the pelvic floor and the sexual organs and  learn to open layers of tissue and feelings while developing healthy boundaries. This helps the client to clear away old frustrations as well as pain and create a new possibility to connect within self and others at a deep intimate level of passion, love and joy. The last stages of the Energetic cycle (excited breath, orgastic breath, ecstatic breath, etc.) that relate to the tissue work around the deep core will also be explored. This material will be tied in with theories coming from Wilhelm Reich and the Post-Reichian Methods like Core-Energetics, Gestalt, Bioenergetics, Bodynamics, Biodynamic Massage, etc.

Working with Stubborn Defenses

In order to touch the armored core, we need to recognize how the body organizes its defences and how it forms character patterns of restricted breath, muscular contraction and habitual movement, as well as incomplete emotion and thought. To handle the shocks, traumas and all the continuing demands of our lives, we use characteristic attitudes and habits to try to hold ourselves together, hold on to what we can, hold ourselves up, hold ourselves deep inside or hold ourselves back. By working with our breath and touching the deepest layers of our tissue, advanced practitioners help their clients learn where and how their persistent character armor defends the core and how to let it go. In this advanced training we will cover topics such as relationships are regulators, the social engagement system, the inhibition of action syndrome, the PTSD paradigm, the inflammation paradigm, predisease pathways, etc.

Touching the Core

In the deep work with the core the advanced practitioner follows the basic segments or diaphragms of body balance which include the fontanelles, the floor and ceiling of the mouth, the thoracic inlet and first rib, the breathing diaphragm, the pelvis and pelvic floor. Some of the deepest work with the core includes release of the core tissues of the pelvis, which holds many of our strongest feelings and attitudes. A thorough understanding of working with developmental and maturational needs is also included. Working with the structures of the core the advanced student learns to help the client open layers of tissue and feelings in a safe and respectful way beyond the basic paradigm sessions of the (Psychotherapeutic) Postural Integration® Model (we will explain this for those new to this kind of approach). Advanced techniques and strategies will be taught to help the client clear away old frustrations and pain, to connect with self and others and ultimately connect at a deep and intimate level of love, joy and fulfilment.

Finding Harmony and Integration

Using the advanced somatic methods, you will learn new ways as a body psychotherapist or bodymind integrator of helping your clients release their deepest armoring. Yet with the release of these very old habits and attitudes, they also need help finding a new centre and integrating this newfound change into their lives. By coordinating tissue, breath and feeling with special somatic strategies, you as a practitioner help clients more fully integrate major dimensions of the self, such as genetic inheritance, left and right hemisphere, sensorimotor functions and masculine-feminine sides. By interacting skillfully with the core, advanced practitioners learn powerful ways to help the top of the body to cooperate with the bottom, the right and left sides to function as a team, and the front and back to move harmoniously with each other. With the discovery of a new inner center, energy can then radiate outwardly and inwardly in flowing waves through all the body diaphragms in a socially engaged and spiritually rich manner.

Implementing into Clinical Practice and Information Exchange

Different possibilities and new directions to enhance your private practice will be suggested. While all this work and new strategies are very powerful, we also realize the importance of spending time to discuss case studies coming from group members as well as the trainers. To enrich and deepen this advanced training experience, sharing circles will be utilised from time to time.

Practical

Entry Criteria: Practitioners in Body Psychotherapy with knowledge about hands-on bodywork (fascia) & Bodymind Integration Methods, Core-Energetics®, Bio-Energetic Analysis and related disciplines with a minimum of one year of experience interested in “psychotherapeutic touch” and myofascial integration.

International Pelvic-Heart Integration® Workshop in English – Belgium (Lasne) 20>23 September 2018

Living the Mystery
of the
Masculine and Feminine

 


International Pelvic-Heart Integration® (PHI) Level I Workshop in Belgium : 20>23 September 2018

Beyond Attraction-Rejection, Happiness-Frustration,
Joy- Heartbreak

International Workshop guided by Dirk Marivoet (B) and Elisabeth Renner (A), Licensed Psychotherapists and International Trainers and Supervisors for PHI.

 

Are you longing to create and sustain healthy, dynamic relationships? Would you like to experience your full sexual energy and pleasure? Are you able to harness the innate action energy of your masculinity and tap into the receptivity and intuition of your femininity?

We often resign ourselves to repeating cycles of being attracted to and then rejected by the opposite sex. This pattern of finding short lived happiness and joy often leads to plunging back into unforeseen frustration and heartbreak. We can become intrigued and overwhelmed by the mystery of the opposite sex. Yet, when we really feel both the masculine and feminine already inside of us and then letting these parts of us interact with each other, we can find our way to sustainable excitement, deep love and even ecstasy. Our sexuality then comes from the wonderful mystery within us and guides us in our relationship with others.

In this workshop we will discover how our characteristic breathing patterns, thoughts, emotions, and body armour block the free flow of our life force and inhibit our capacity for sensual pleasure and orgasmic release. We use breath, movement and mindful touch to feel the unity of love and satisfaction. Psychodrama, imagery and role plays are helping us to explore the sexual and heart energy from our ancestors and our inner triangle (father, mother, child) which becomes a template for future relationships. Experiencing the spiritual presence of our ancestors is powerful and helps us to heal old wounds carried through generations. Pelvic-Heart Integration® is helpful and supportive in creating a new wave of consciousness in all of us.

Pelvic-Heart Integration® explores together with you the unconscious emotional body armor and breathing patterns, as well as habitual protection and defense patterns, that were learned in the Triangle Mother/Father/Child that determine your relationships in the here and now. Role playing, Imagination, Body Talk, „Hands-on” techniques, expression and movement, as well as exchanges in the group, accompany you in this process.  Work with our ancestors and their spiritual force support you in bringing old, passed on wounds though generations, to a healing movement. New pulsating vibrancy and creativity begin to flow and to create a new source of Bodymind Consciousness.

DIRK MARIVOET (B):

Workshop for Men in Greece 15>17 June 2018

THE INSTITUTE OF CORE ENERGETICS -GREECE

ANNOUNCES

LIVING LIFE WITH A FULL HEART AND A STRONG SPINE

A WORKSHOP FOR MEN

FACILITATED BY DIRK MARIVOET

In Greece 15>17 June 2018

Sometimes in the cycle of living, loving and just plain surviving we men can lose ourselves or become uncertain about what it means to be a man today.

We’re called upon to be providers, protectors and achievers – the strong spines – and at the same time loving, emotionally open and available – a full hearted being. But from time to time we feel like we are running on empty. And our life challenges may leave us feeling disconnected or alone.

This workshop is for men of diverse ethnic or spiritual backgrounds, or sexual orientation who are willing to communicate on an authentic valued level and want to connect more fully with their identity as a man. That is an epic journey of discovery that all men must travel… And this journey of growth of men is a journey inwards.

You can learn how we explore in many ways the many issues which repeatedly arise for men: isolation, competitiveness, loneliness, lack of friendship with other men, numbness to your own feelings, difficulty in developing intimacy, emotional over-dependence on women, lack of positive masculine identity, depression, frustration, inappropriate expressions of anger,..

After this workshop you find that you are more available to your families, loved ones and communities, and more in touch with your body and your purpose. You will simply be a better partner, lover, father, friend and man.

WITH: Dirk Marivoet is the Founder and Director of the Institute for Bodymind Integration in Belgium. A psychotherapist-supervisor and a deep bodyworker in private practice for over 30 years,he works with individuals and groups. . He is staff member of NICE (Training institute of Core-Energetics in the Netherlands), the International Institute for Pelvic-Heart Integration and guest teacher at several other institutes Worldwide. He previously served as adjunct faculty psychiatry for over 10 years at the University of Leuven. Dirk enjoys helping both men and women in finding their own identity and ways of relating. He also has a background in shamanism – where the now encompasses past, present and future – and ancestral healing

We use breath, movement and mindful touch to feel the unity of love and satisfaction. Psychodrama, imagery and role plays are helping us to explore the sexual and heart energy from our ancestors and our inner triangle (father, mother, child) which becomes a template for future relationships. 
Experiencing the spiritual presence of our ancestors is powerful and helps us to heal old wounds carried through generations. Pelvic-Heart Integration is helpful and supportive in creating a new wave of consciousness in all of us.

Pelvic-Heart Integration explores together with you the unconscious emotional body armor and breathing patterns, as well as habitual protection and defense patterns, that were learned in the Triangle Mother/Father/Child that determine your relationships in the here and now. Role playing, Imagination, Body Talk, „Hands-on” techniques, expression and movement, as well as exchanges in the group, accompany you in this process. Work with our ancestors and their spiritual force support you in bringing old, passed on wounds though generations, to a healing movement. New pulsating vibrancy and creativity begin to flow and to create a new source of Bodymind Consciousness.

Pelvic-Heart Integration (PHI) Workshop in Milano (I)

Vivere il Mistero del Maschile e Femminile

Al di là di Attrazione-Rifiuto, Felicità-Frustrazione, Gioia-Dolore
Introduzione alla Integrazione Cuore-Pelvi
Workshop internazionale in lingua inglese
Condotto da Dirk Marivoet e Elisabeth Renner
Quando: Venerdì, 18 novembre (18.00)
fino a Lunedi, 21 novembre 2016 (16.00)
Costo Workshop: 450 Euro (dopo il 20 ottobre 2016)
Early bird: 420 euro (prima del 20 ottobre 2016)
Indirizzo: I Per Corsi Di Pan, via via G.Pecchio 18, Milano (MM Loreto)
Spesso ci rassegniamo a cicli ripetitivi nei quali siamo attratti e poi respinti dal sesso opposto. Questo modello di ricerca di felicità e gioia a breve termine spesso porta a ricadere di nuovo in una  inaspettata frustrazione e nel dolore. Possiamo essere affascinati e travolti dal mistero del sesso opposto. Ma una volta che percepiamo profondamente sia il maschile che femminile già dentro di noi e poi lasciamo che queste parti di noi interagiscano tra loro, possiamo trovare il nostro modo di raggiungere una eccitazione sostenibile, profondo amore e persino estasi. La nostra sessualità allora scaturisce dal mistero meraviglioso dentro di noi e ci guida nel nostro rapporto con gli altri.
In questo workshop scopriremo come i nostri specifici modelli respiratori, cognitivi, emozionali, e la nostra armatura corporea blocchino il libero flusso della nostra forza vitale ed inibiscano la nostra capacità di piacere sensuale e di abbandono orgasmico. Usiamo il respiro, movimento e contatto consapevole per sentire l’unità di amore ed appagamento. Psicodramma, visualizzazioni e role playing ci aiuteranno ad esplorare l’energia sessuale e di cuore proveniente dai nostri antenati e il nostro triangolo interno (padre, madre, figlio) che diventa un modello per i rapporti futuri. Sperimentare la presenza spirituale dei nostri antenati è potente e ci aiuta a guarire vecchie ferite perpetuatesi attraverso le generazioni. La Integrazione Cuore-Pelvi è utile e di sostegno nel creare una nuova ondata di consapevolezza in tutti noi.
Integrazione Cuore-Pelvi esplora insieme a te i modelli inconsci sottostanti alla armatura corporea emozionale e respiratoria, così come i modelli abituali di protezione e difesa, che sono stati appresi nel Triangolo Padre / Madre / Bambino e che determinano le tue relazioni nel qui e ora.
Role playing, Visualizzazione, Dialogo Corporeo, tecniche di contatto, espressione e movimento, così come gli scambi nel gruppo, ti accompagneranno in questo processo.
Lavorare con i nostri antenati e la loro forza spirituale ti sosterrà nel portare vecchie ferite, trasmesse attraverso le generazioni, verso un movimento di guarigione. Nuova vitalità pulsante e creativa comincia a fluire ed a creare una nuova sorgente di consapevolezza psicocorporea.
