“Our ability to sense and trust Life Energy is shaped by the quality of our connection with it”
— Irit Tessel
Join Irit for a unique workshop in experiential Focusing – an experience of deep listening to the body, expanding awareness, and integrating body, mind, soul, and psyche, even when external circumstances challenge us.
In this workshop, Irit will guide participants on a journey in Way of life Energy, teaching us how to reconnect with the core quality of life energy – courage. Courage plays a vital role in healing and personal development. Together, we will revisit the experiences with which we came into the world, uncover breaking points, and explore the conditions necessary for reconnecting with this essential quality.
Irit will share:
• A ground-breaking approach to healing, health, and enhancing quality of life
• How to restore vitality and activate the body's natural healing mechanisms
• Ways to cultivate courage and daring, manage crisis with ease, and restore faith and trust in oneself and in life
Some familiarity with Focusing will be helpful, though all are welcome to attend.
Format
We use Zoom videoconferencing for our online classes. The session will be held in meeting format so that all participants can see the presenter and each other. You will need to have a computer/mobile device. Calling in by phone is also possible but not preferred as participation in breakout rooms will be limited.
All registrants (whether or not you attend live) can view the recording for one month. Breakout rooms are not recorded.
