Overview of Level One Workshops

Hakomi Workshops: The Personhood Series

The study of Hakomi is available to anyone who is interested in decreasing their stress and increasing the experience of choice in their lives. In particular, the Level One workshops: Compassionate Listening, Quieting the Mind, Empathetic Attunement, and The Art of Comforting are designed for the layperson. Since the Hakomi skills are both interpersonal and intrapersonal they are particularly appropriate for those who work closely with others in a managing, teaching or supporting role. In brief the Level One workshops include skills training in the following areas:

  • Listening and communicating with more success and fewer misunderstandings.
  • Moving through life with more calmness and clarity.
  • Noticing limiting beliefs and opportunities for choosing new beliefs.
  • Deepening your ability to understand yourself and others at home and at work.
  • Finding ways for balancing self care with care for others.

These workshops also serve as a foundation for further study in Hakomi. Further study includes: Hakomi Level Two training, or Advanced Skills Training, and Hakomi Level Three training, also called Supervised Practice.
