What is Hakomi? FREE talk and demo

  • My Inner Harbour 149 Wallace Street Nanaimo, British Columbia, V9R 5B2 Canada (map)

Deep, lasting change requires more than shifting your thoughts; it demands reshaping the unconscious patterns held within your body.

As therapists and healing professionals, we often witness clients who understand why they struggle, yet continue to repeat the same patterns in relationships, work, or life. Insight alone isn't always enough. Lasting change often happens when we gently access the unconscious beliefs and adaptive strategies that live in the body beneath conscious awareness.

Hakomi is a mindfulness-based somatic psychology that helps bring these deeply held patterns into awareness with curiosity, compassion, and respect. Rather than trying to fix or analyze, Hakomi invites us to slow down, listen deeply, and discover the innate wisdom of the body. From this place, new possibilities for healing and transformation naturally emerge.

Rooted in mindfulness, neuroscience, systems thinking, and experiential psychology, Hakomi integrates Eastern contemplative practices with Western psychology. It offers therapists, coaches, bodyworkers, and other healing practitioners a powerful framework for working with the whole person—not just their story, but the embodied beliefs that shape how they experience themselves and the world.

Whether you're looking to deepen your clinical practice, incorporate more somatic approaches into your work, or simply experience Hakomi for yourself, this introductory evening offers a welcoming place to begin.

Join us for a FREE 2-hour Introduction to Hakomi Mindfulness-Based Somatic Psychology

Facilitated by Rupesh Chhagan, this experiential evening includes:

  • An introduction to the principles and philosophy of Hakomi

  • Experiential mindfulness exercises

  • A live demonstration of the Hakomi method

  • Time for questions and discussion

If you're curious about bringing greater presence, embodiment, and transformational depth into your work, we'd love to have you join us.

Space is limited. Please RSVP to reserve your spot.
