WORKSHOPS & EVENTS CALENDAR

We offer ongoing opportunities to experience the Hakomi approach. These workshops are stand-alone events in their own right and also form part of the prerequisite for application to the Hakomi Professional Training. Most offer a blend of professional development and personal growth. Workshops vary in length from one to three or four days.

Witnessing Hakomi: A Fishbowl and Experiential workshop

A three day workshop with Jules Morgaine Certified Trainer, Hakomi Institute.

Nelson: Fri 3 Oct—Sun 5 Oct 2025

A “Fishbowl” workshop is a particularly effective way to experience a method of psychotherapy.  Through seeing the ‘work in action’ not only does it offer an opportunity to watch a skilled practitioner work and be inspired by this, it also gives an immediate felt sense of how a method brings about therapeutic change.  In combining teaching, observation, discussion and experiential learning exercises, a deep understanding is integrated for the participant.

A two-and-a-half-day workshop with Suhari Mommsen-Bohm and Sarah Tait-Jamieson

Wellington: Fri 28 Nov—Sun 30 Nov 2025

In this introductory Hakomi workshop, in addition to mindfulness you will be given some simple tools for self-study basic to the gentle, graceful, and technique of Hakomi Mindful Somatic Psychotherapy. This workshop can serve as the prerequisite to the Hakomi Professional Training commencing in June 2026.

Bringing Hakomi’s Wisdom into the Heart of Relationships

A three-day workshop with Halko Weiss & Maci Daye

Taupo: Fri 6 Mar—Sun 8 Mar 2026

As someone with a Hakomi background, you’ve already cultivated the art of attuned, compassionate therapeutic relationships. But how can we bring these invaluable skills into everyday life—into relationships where our needs matter just as much as those of the other person? And how can we help our clients do the same? This is the terrain of real-life connections—with partners, family members, friends, and co-workers—where the dance between understanding others and expressing ourselves becomes a true art form. In this immersive workshop, internationally acclaimed Hakomi Trainers Halko Weiss and Maci Daye will guide you in cultivating deeper, more authentic connections for both yourself and your clients through enhanced communication, mutual understanding, and the transformative power of mindfulness.

In and Out of Character: From Protection to Connection

A two-workshop series with Jules Morgaine, Certified Hakomi Trainer

Auckland: Thu 9 Apr—Sun 12 Apr 2026

Character styles are formed early in life in response to our environment, around core human issues of contact, safety, need, dependency, separation, self-esteem, control, sexuality, competition and competence. These character styles create protective and supportive defences in our childhood, which later become unconscious and therefore outside our awareness. In adulthood, these patterns become limiting, making it difficult or impossible to fully achieve our potential in relationships, work, parenting and other aspects of our life.
