Are you a therapist interested in deepening your understanding of intuition and enhancing your practice working with trauma and complex chronic pain clients? Join us in a majestic place in the south of France.
A transformative 5-day workshop focusing on the concept of Kokoro, rooted in Japanese philosophy. Kokoro encompasses the heart, mind, and spirit as interconnected, offering a holistic perspective that contrasts with the more fragmented view often found in Western thought. This sounds all great and fluffy, but how do we embody this powerful position?
In a clinical setting, embracing Kokoro can enhance your empathetic listening skills, helping you pick up on subtle emotional cues that clients may not express directly. It can also guide your intuitive diagnoses, uncovering insights that lead to more effective treatment plans. Creating a balanced and supportive environment within yourself will encourage your clients to feel safe and open to healing.
Moreover, viewing each client through the lens of interconnectedness allows for personalized care that addresses their unique emotional, mental, and spiritual needs.
**Join Us**
By participating in our workshop, you will gain powerful tools to enrich your practice and foster a deeper connection with your clients. Embrace the holistic approach of Kokoro and transform your therapeutic practice for greater impact and personal fulfillment. Let's cultivate intuition together for a more harmonious way of living and healing.
