Level III – Challenges and Discoveries in Serious Illness and Trauma

Our world is full of illness and trauma. The Conscious Body process shows a path through this territory, and offers substantial help to those in need.

·         Serious Illness: Behind serious illness, we often find several parts that want to emerge, such as disowned selves, an Inner Child, and instinctual energies.

·         Trauma: Our bodies hold our stories. Physical symptoms sometimes stem from trauma that was experience either as a child or an adult. You will explore how to accompany someone on this journey as you learn to recognize the various selves that arise, distinguish their energies, and honor their needs.

·         Partnership: Learning to work in partnership with psychotherapists, somatic therapists, and bodyworkers will provide you with professional expertise when needed.

·          Movement – We will create ShadowDance, a movement ritual of opposites that shifts energy in ourselves, our bodies, and our communities.

·         Energy Field Clearing – Doing this deep work, you will learn to care for yourself as you tap the gifts of the Playful Child and the healing energies of fun, beauty, and nature.

Supervision Practicum – Continuing Conscious Body Practice

The Practicum is for those who wish to enhance their skills and receive supervision in a supportive group environment. You will be able to give, receive, and observe sessions. Advanced teaching and experiential exercises will enhance your personal and professional development.

Other Aspects of the Conscious Body Training

Individual Sessions

To enhance your experience and develop your skills, we encourage you to have private sessions.

·         Voice Dialogue Sessions: Receiving regular Voice Dialogue sessions, or even training in Voice Dialogue, can help you become familiar with your own primary selves and disowned selves and the vulnerability underneath. The more you work on yourself, the better you will be able to help others.

·         Conscious Body Sessions: If someone near you can facilitate you in Conscious Body, having sessions will teach you more about this process. Judith Hendin is also available to do facilitations on telephone or Skype, which can work very well.

Practice Facilitations

Everyone is encouraged to practice facilitating, either with other members of the training, or with anyone else. After Level I, it may be best to facilitate Voice Dialogue to become more familiar with the inner world of selves. After Level II, you may feel more confident to begin facilitating Conscious Body.

Supervision

Participants can receive supervision from Judith Hendin by skype, by phone, or in person when she comes to your area. We may also be able to hold conference calls to answer questions and give you continuing support.

The 4th and final module in the Conscious Body Training will be held 12 to 15 April 2012 and will be entirely devoted to the practice and supervision.
