Description:

Joins us for this retreat and discover Core Energetics, a complete approach that uses techniques from Bioenergetics co-created by Dr. Alexander Lowen and Dr. John Pierrakos , while drawing inspiration from spiritual principles of the Pathwork. Core Energetics is a holistic approach, at the very cutting edge of Western Spiritual & Emotional growth, that can help open your heart and realign with the best of yourself.

The journey taken in Core Energetics is principally one of freedom, awakening and exploring the powerful relationship between energy & consciousness.

During this 6 day retreat participants will be offered a combination of dynamic body experiences and learning opportunities to help in understanding how blocked energy affects our blocked consciousness, on an emotional, physical, mental, evolutionary and spiritual level.

This retreat is ideal for those considering the 2 or 4 year Certified Leadership or Practitioner Training Program in Core Energetics, and would like to have their own experience before making a bigger commitment.

We will explore and experience:

• How energy flows and blocks in our being. 
• How connection to our bodies, emotions, mind and spirit affects our energy flow and our consciousness.
• Charge and Discharge, the impact of energetic expansion and contraction.
• Taking Risks to grow & Resistance to change
• Grounding and attunement
• Unified & Dualistic Consciousness
• Shadow Work – revealing and feeling our Lower Self
• Dissolving Shame, Blame, Guilt and Judgments
• How to penetrate the veil of our own hidden beliefs and projections.
• Using energy to open and restore the heart.
• And much more..

Who should participate?
You may have experience with Core Energetics or you may be new to the approach. This retreat is for anyone , at any point in their journey who is ready to take another big step in their personal and/or professional evolution. Discover powerful energetic techniques that can open you to your life force and allow for discoveries that support transformation in your life, your leadership and your career.
