Desidentifikation und Freiheit

In the organizer's words:

Mindful, body-oriented exploration of identity
with Michael Mokrus

"There is a space between stimulus and response. This space contains our power to choose a response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom." - Viktor E. Frankl

Seminar description

Identity is a complex and multi-layered concept that encompasses our self-image, our beliefs, our values as well as physical and emotional experiences. Mindfulness describes the ability to be conscious and present with ourselves and our experience in the present moment. This includes feeling our body, perceiving and accepting feelings, noticing thoughts and inner images and reflectively exploring our associated strategies and behavioral patterns.

In order to find out what is truly coherent for us and corresponds to our inner wisdom, we need to explore and question our identification with firmly held beliefs about ourselves and others, our preconceptions about reality in general, our deeply rooted attitudes and inner convictions as well as our learned, habitual patterns of reaction and behavior.

The retreat seminar opens up a holistic experience that combines thematic talks with various mindfulness exercises, neuro-affective regulation, supervision and self-exploration. There is ample time for in-depth debriefing and individual support.

The aim of the seminar is to

• reconnect you with your potential and feel your aliveness,
• to face your inner wisdom in a fresh and open way with all the possibilities and consequences that arise from it,
• practicing deep compassion for yourself and others,
• embody and live your capacity and courage for more self-efficacy, self-responsibility and dignity,
• better understand and be able to accompany identification and disidentification processes in a therapeutic context,
• to view identity, mindfulness and transformation as dynamics that are shaped by processes and relationships.

Target group

The seminar is designed for psycho- and body therapists who want to deepen their attitude towards therapeutic development processes, as well as for anyone who wants to explore this topic out of personal interest.

Seminar times

Start on the 1st day at 10:00 am, end on the last day at 5:00 pm.

Your task is not to seek love, but only to seek and find all the obstacles you have developed against it.
