The Path of Radical Transformation with Shantam David Zohar
Cultivating Kindness, Courage and Community
Join us on a summer workshop in Italy 8-13/7/2024
A journey to unearth the wisdom of body, mind and spirit, with Shantam Zohar and a dedicated group of practitioners.
The Path of Radical Transformation incorporates personal and relational practices designed to cultivate mental health, organic healing and sustainable growth. With origins in a broad array of contemplative modalities, the path promotes self-realization, sound clinical practice, and transformational group work.
The Path of Radical Transformation allows practitioners to share an interdependent journey of body-mind and spirit exploration, to gain significant adequacy in body/mind integration and self-expression, subtle communication skills and the ability to harness kindness and compassion effectively in and outside of the clinical setting.
The workshop will include Authentic Movement, a relational, bare awareness embodiment practice. With origins in Jungian thought and Dance Movement Therapy, the form is broadly used to support clinical practice, artistic expression and transformational group work. It manifests as a relational practice within unity consciousness, where mover and witness are not separate.
This course may well be of interest to practitioners of many fields, including psychotherapy, counseling, complementary and orthodox medicine, body-oriented therapy, expressive art therapy, Yoga and meditation. We welcome people attending for various reasons including: existing therapists and complementary health practitioners looking to learn new skills; those wanting to cultivate greater interpersonal skills; those interested in personal development (it is not necessary to want to be a therapist); Mindfulness practitioners and people interested in exploring the link between psychological and spiritual wellbeing. People potentially interested in Psychotherapy, Authentic Movement, Compassion Focused Therapy, Mindful Communication and Relational Mindfulness. We welcome people from all spiritual traditions or none: no prior conceptual knowledge is assumed.
