Hakomi Mindful Somatic Psychotherapy: An Experiential Introduction
Hakomi is a body-centered (somatic) approach. The body is viewed as a “map of the psyche” – a door that can be opened to reveal the entire unconscious belief system of the individual. The body’s habitual patterns can become a powerful access route to deeply held core material.
This workshop provides an immersive introduction to the Method, this includes lectures from the faculty, experiential exercises, demonstrations, discussion, group process sessions, and Supervision.

Hakomi is a comprehensive and effective method of psychotherapy based in mindfulness and somatic awareness. Employing a strong experiential orientation, Hakomi is grounded in time-honored principles and the therapeutic embodiment of Loving Presence. Through attuned and mindful exploration of present experience, Hakomi supports the discovery and transformation of the unconsciously held core material that shapes people’s beliefs and behaviors.
