WORKSHOPS & EVENTS CALENDAR

A one-day workshop with Dr Suhari Mommsen-Bohm

Dunedin: Sat 11 Apr—Sat 11 Apr 2026

Hakomi is a mindfulness-based approach to self-study and healing. At its heart is a simple but powerful practice: turning toward your inner experience with curiosity, kindness, and respect. Rather than trying to fix or force change, Hakomi invites you to slow down and notice what is already happening—sensations in the body, emotions, memories, beliefs—just as they are. With curiosity as our guide, we learn to listen to these experiences and understand the unconscious patterns that shape how we relate to ourselves and the world.

A one-day workshop with Sarah Tait-Jamieson

Napier: Sat 11 Apr—Sat 11 Apr 2026

Hakomi is based on the idea that many of the ways we operate in the world are directed by our unconscious core beliefs and habits which we hold in our body.  These core beliefs are based on our past experiences in the world and were intitally formed to keep us safe and loved.   However, as we grow and navigate life, these core beliefs may become obsolete and often are at odds with our well being in  the present.

A three-day workshop with Halko Weiss & Maci Daye

Taupo: Fri 6 Mar—Sun 8 Mar 2026

How can we bring attuned, compassionate 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.

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.

A three-day workshop with Lisa Chaplow &Jules Morgaine

Taupo: Fri 15 May—Sun 17 May 2026

WITHIN US ALL THERE IS A NATURAL ORGANIC IMPULSE towards our wholeness and connectedness to self and life. This impulse supports the Organic Self, the most pure expression of our humanness, to lead us towards our own truth and unique experience of our being. OUR DEVELOPMENTAL EXPERIENCES INEVITABLY CONTAIN many cumulative incidents of wounding within which our needs are not met sufficiently. In order to protect one's self from the pain of this the Self becomes fragmented into limiting parts that continue to unconsciously inform our sense of who we are and our expectations of life.
