A recommeded Module everyone is welcome - Un modulo consigliato, tutti sono i benvenuti
"Dalle sofferenze emergono le anime più forti.” Kahlil Gibran (ENGLISCH BELOW)
La citazione di Khalil Gibran sarà l'apertura a un'esplorazione esperienziale del vero significato del trauma, del suo impatto sul nostro modo di vivere in questo mondo e di come l'operare negli stati di coscienza olotropici possa favorire l'integrazione del sé frammentato e la guarigione.
Il trauma è la parola greca per ferita, un ferimento. Tutti abbiamo ferite; dalla nascita alla morte, e persino prima della nascita. Queste possono essere impegnative nella loro intensità, nel loro impatto su di noi e nel nostro rapporto con noi stessi, gli altri e il nostro ambiente.
Il modulo si concentrerà sull'impatto del trauma sul benessere fisico, emotivo e psicologico. Esploreremo strategie olotropiche che possono essere utili nel lavorare con queste questioni complesse. Il nostro approccio sarà un misto di teoria e pratiche esperienziali. Ogni partecipante avrà modo di sperimentare due sessioni di Respirazione Olotropica come "respirante” e due come “sitter/accopagnatore" Attingendo dalla nostra esperienza personale, ci impegneremo anche in esercizi creativi con materiali artistici, scrittura e movimento.
I temi e le questioni in cu ci immergeremo, includeranno:
- Come il Paradigma Olotropico e il lavoro negli stati espansi di coscienza siano di beneficio nell'integrare e trasformare il trauma Il processo traumatico
- quando concentrarsi su cosa?
- L'uso delle strategie di sopravvivenza e dei meccanismi di difesa dell'ego; la loro efficacia e limitazioni
- Il potere della Presenza
- Comprendere i livelli perinatali e transpersonali del nostro essere secondo Grof; e l'impatto dei legami generazionali come parte del transpersonale.
Questo modulo non solo contribuirà al nostro percorso di ricerca della completezza, ma anche accrescerà la nostra abilità di essere presenti con gli altri - in veste di compagni, terapeuti e facilitatori - durante il processo di elaborazione del proprio trauma.

"Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls". Kahlil Gibran
This quote by Khalil Gibran will lead the way into an experiential exploration of what trauma really means, how it impacts our way of being in this world and how the work in Holotropic states of consciousness can be beneficial to integrate the fragmented self and heal. Trauma is the Greek word for wound, a wounding. We all have woundings; from birth to death, and even before birth. These can be demanding in their intensity, in their impact on us, and in our relationship with ourselves, others, and our environment.
The module will focus on the impact of trauma on physical, emotional and psychological wellbeing.
We will explore holotropic strategies that can be beneficial in working with these challenging issues.
Our approach will be a mixture of theory and experiential practices. Each participant will experience two Holotropic Breathwork sessions as a “breather” and two as a “sitter."
Drawing on our personal experience, we will also engage in creative exercises with art materials, writing and movement.
Topics and questions we dive into will include:
- How the Holotropic Paradigm and the work in expanded states of consciousness is beneficial in integrating and transforming trauma
- The trauma process - when to focus on what?
- The use of survival strategies and ego defense mechanisms; their effectiveness and limitation
- The power of Presence
- Understanding Grof's perinatal and transpersonal levels of our being; and the impact of generational links as part of the transpersona
This module will not only be useful in our own journey towards wholeness, but will enhance our ability to be present with others - as companions, therapists and facilitators as they work with their own trauma.
