Working with the Body in Mind

The ways in which we embody ourselves are integral to our experience of the world. Becoming more intimate with our own physical process can not only give extraordinary insight into a client’s reality, but it provides access to a wide range of information in the environment that is not otherwise available. The body is an extraordinarily sensitive “register” of subtle events in the environment.

This workshop will allow participants to build fundamental body -oriented observation and intervention skills, understand and work with their own embodied presence, and use their embodied experience to better understand clients’ dilemmas.

Benefits

Participants will:

• Gain insight into their own physical presence
• Experience and practice new techniques to support their own embodied experience and awareness
• Develop a wider range of options in using their physical presence to heighten their impact
• Develop deeper access to relevant information in the environment
• Build body-oriented intervention skills for heightened impact

Participants

This workshop is designed for consultants, coaches, and therapists who are interested in learning more about physical process for themselves and their clients. It also may be of interest to those working in other fields who want to achieve a heightened sense of their own physical presence.

“The experience I had at GISC changed the way I interact with my work colleagues day-to-day. Understanding the importance of ‘scanning’ and the feedback people are giving
- both deliberate and non-deliberate - is extremely valuable. This helps to be more strategic and deliberate in how you communicate with people. It allows you to separate what you observe from what you assume you are seeing.”

Dates and Fees:

“I believe I am far more effective with my
clients as a result of my training at GISC. And a much better person as well. The GISC faculty and staff are great.”
