A two-and-a-half-day workshop with Suhari Mommsen-Bohm and Sarah Tait-Jamieson
Wellington: Fri 28 Nov—Sun 30 Nov 2025
Everywhere we turn, we can find chaos and aggression happening in the world around us which can be disheartening. We can easily become overwhelmed by scenes in the media that continue to lead us down a path of despair and disenfranchisement. These societal shifts are real and are impacting us everyday whether we want them to or not.
Instead, we need to find an inner path to health-giving thoughts where we can ground ourselves to stay centred in the face of these personal, cultural, and systemic challenges. In Hakomi, we call this the path of mindfulness, simple self-awareness. Mindfulness helps us to observe ourselves, so that rather than getting caught in a vortex of negative thoughts and feelings, we can begin to simply notice ourselves. We can become curious about our thoughts, our feelings, how others impact us. . .
With mindfulness as a foundation, we can observe from a position of calm, knowing that we are doing our individual “bit” to tame the chaos of a wild world by taming our own thoughts and feelings. We can become curious about the place of peace inside us—where would it live in our body?
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.
In this workshop we will develop skills for:
-
Mindfulness as a means to reconnect with and embody the Organic Self
-
Use of somatic intelligence as a source of guidance for healing
-
Discovering the healing impulse within ourselves and how it can be used intentionally
-
