WELLINGTON: Sat 25 – Sun 26 Sept 2010.
Hakomi body-inclusive Psychotherapy is a respectful, gentle, yet powerful method of self-study. Its techniques are designed to access deeply held unconscious material. Once these core-beliefs come into awareness more satisfying choices are possible. Memories, past experiences and deeply held emotions create the neural pattern and the body that defines us.

First and foremost, Hakomi Experiential Psychotherapy is a mindfulness-based approach to self-understanding. Mindfulness is not simply part of the 'tool kit' in Hakomi, but forms the very foundation of the therapeutic encounter.
Much more than a method or set of techniques, Hakomi is a way of looking at the world that is compassionate, mindful, curious, non-invasive, humorous and respectful.
Hakomi is a Hopi Indian word, that has been borrowed to describe the distinctive approach to body-inclusive psychotherapy developed in the USA by therapist and author Ron Kurtz and members of his training staff.
Since its inception, the work has continued to grow and evolve, absorbing diverse influences while remaining within its five guiding principles.
