In this course, we will focus on the foundational concepts of each of the 5 Elements (as per Traditional Chinese Medicine) and explore their deeper associations (mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical). These include developmental psychology, the functional expression of emotions linked to each Element, and relevant skills drawn from Hakomi, a mindfulness-based experiential psychotherapy. These tools will help us engage with the emotional patterns each Element represents.

Hakomi is a body-centered (somatic) approach. The body is viewed as a “map of the psyche” – a door that can be opened to reveal the entire unconscious belief system of the individual. The body’s habitual patterns can become a powerful access route to deeply held core material.

Hakomi Intro workshops introduce students to the core principles, topics, and concepts of the method. They provide immersive instruction which includes lectures from the faculty, experiential exercises, demonstrations, discussion, group process sessions, and supervision.
