Core Material – “Composed of beliefs, nervous system patterning, sensations, memories,
images, emotions and attitudes about self and the world.” Related more often to early formative
experiences – core material shapes our patterns of behavior, our bodily structures and our
experiences. (Hakomi Institute)

Through lecture, demo and practice exercises, this workshop will introduce you to:

 The Basic Principles of the Hakomi Method;
 Ways to promote mindfulness within ourselves and our clients,
 Tracking for conscious and unconscious patterns of responses or behaviours which hold
information on self-organization,
 Understanding the role of protective strategies in behaviours
 Intervention strategies for helping clients move through barriers to change and towards a
more expanded and secure sense of self.
