This Wednesday Sandbox gathering we tame our inner critic with Core Energetic Practitioner Barra Kahn. How loud is the voice of your inner critic? Is it screaming at you from time to time? Or is the volume low, providing a constant drone? The inner critic is what keeps our mask (idealized self image) intact, and difficult to move. We get caught in a cycle in which it is nearly impossible to be authentic. In this Sandbox workshop, we will explore how you want to be seen, what you perceive will happen if you are not seen this way, and what you "miss" in life by keeping up this appearance. For those interested in going deeper, we will explore lower self work around the actual voice of the inner critic. Bring your inner critic with you, and we'll give him/her a good workout.
Core Energetics is the bridge between psychology and spirituality. It is the first western psychotherapeutic approach to incorporate the spiritual aspect of being with modern psychology and body psychotherapy, making Core Energetics a truly holistic and integrative therapy. It is an evolutionary therapeutic approach that seeks the integration of all aspects of our humanity - emotional, physical, intellectual and spiritual. This evolutionary process is built on the foundation of the work of Sigmund Freud, Carl Jung, Wilhelm Reich, and human development theory, the study of new physics, spirituality, and ancient charka and human energy theory.
Core Energetics is based on a deep understanding of the ways in which energy and consciousness work together in the transformative process of healing. This evolutionary process of healing encompasses knowing and revealing your whole self- your beauty, your defenses, and your dark shadow. This transformation is achieved gradually by bringing consciousness and movement to the core's overlaying defensive structures.
The result is the release of a vast amount of energy, which can then be used in the service of mental, physical and spiritual health. This creates vitality, greater life fulfillment, joy and pleasure.
Certified practitioners of Core Energetics must go through their own deep therapeutic process as well as to complete a rigorous 4 year post graduate training program.
