Hakomi Workshop

Where Mind Meets Body: An Introduction to Hakomi

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.

Hakomi can provide us with insight into these core beliefs through a gentle body-centred path, allowing our self-awareness to expand without force or re-traumatisation.  Rather than offering solutions to  ‘fix ‘ our problems or analysing our past, we use mindfulness to study what is happening in the present moment, slowing ourselves down so that we can listen to our inner self, beyond our thoughts.

In this workshop you will:

  • Be introduced to the principles of Hakomi Mindfulness-Based Somatic Psychotherapy 
  • Have an opportunity to explore some Hakomi techniques
  • Explore mindfulness for use personally and therapeutically
  • Become aware of  your core beliefs that have out-lived their helpfulness, leaving space for choice and growth
