Healthy Autonomy

Workshop Fr16: Friday, Oct. 21, 2016, 05:30 – 07:15 pm

In a relationship with a loved one, most people want to have, a stable, happy and fulfilled life together. Often the driving force is the desire for merging with another in a relationship, the desire of an "I" to make a "we", to be one "heart and soul". But is that a mature and self-determined inner motivation for a love relationship?

Our first emotional and physical love relationship was the relationship with the mother. The quality of this first love has laid the foundation in how we perform as adults in our relationships. With this pattern we search for a partner and fall in love with a person, who finally provides us with the desired longings, selflessly as a mother does.

How does the ability to love differ from the need for love? What makes a healthy and fulfilling intimate relationship? Can we stay true to ourselves in the togetherness, or does our partner demand that we take on a specific role, so he or she is happy? By "exploring the sentence of concern", the client can see and experience, in the encounter with their "I", how capable they are in making contact with themselves. 

After a short introduction, one or two participants will get the opportunity to do their "own work".

Workshop Sa11: Saturday, Oct. 22, 2016, 02:30 – 04.30 pm

Our body is a huge cosmos with many ingredients that permanently respond to one another and which at best, work in harmony. Latest research shows, that these processes are controlled mainly by our psyche and for the most part, takes place unconsciously, this means, independent of our conscious control. As a result, our body is very dependent on the state of our psyche. If the psyche is influenced by traumatic experiences, for example, by disturbed or even destructive relationships in the family of origin, this may lead to symptoms. These "cries for help" of the body are an indication of these earlier traumas (and recurrences).

In this workshop we have chosen to look at digestion: It responds often sensitively to our eating behavior, the quality of food, our profession, to our relationships and other stressors in our fast-paced society. Physical problems are "combated" with drugs and surgery––but the symptoms are not easily kept quiet or pushed away, they may appear again, perhaps in a different form. In this workshop we can explore and experience a "self-encounter with the sentence of intention", and learn how to achieve a better digestion in a different way: How to develop a healthy and stable "I" (as an essential part of the psyche). Thereby providing greater clarity and the ability to make decisions, which „I“––emotionally and materially––is taken in and which I better refuse. Then "I" can digest my life and food better.
