Next Workshop: Intuition and Presence – May 3-6, 2012
Healing Presence is a subtle energy approach for bodyworkers who wish to deepen intuition and the power of presence in their lives and work. The training is an exciting journey that invites the depth of one’s inner life to find creative and meaningful expression in body/energywork. By awakening consciousness for the cultivation of intuition and subtle awareness, participants will gain skills that expand their experience and understanding of intuitive healing processes. Practitioners of most bodywork modalities will find this to be a valuable integrative process in their work with clients.
A 100-hour certification is available for those who attend the Intuition and Presence, Process of Transformation, and The Intuitive Pathway 4-day workshops. In addition, 8 hours of clinic and 8 hours of electives make up the 100 hour total for certification.

This intuition-based training supports participants to discover exciting ways of accessing deep presence and energetic awareness in their bodywork. By learning about the subtle anatomy and gaining tools for listening and responding to the signals of intuition, students can address transformation and subtle energy processes in themselves and their clients.
As a personal and professional journey, the training offers opportunities for introspective study and deep reflection. Working together as a group also offers a supportive environment in which intuition may be explored and trusted. Beginning, intermediate, and advanced coursework combine to create the 100-hour certification.

Awakening intuition is enhanced by support and acknowledgment for the role and value intuition offers, whether in daily life, or as it applies to bodywork and massage. In this 4-day workshop, you will explore your innate intuitive language and ways in which you already embody intuition. You will also learn new ways to express intuition, and investigate the challenges you face with this faculty. We will work together as a group to create a supportive environment in which intuition may be explored and trusted. You will learn about the underlying power of intention and the importance of “trusting the process” as you explore a sense of flow and deepening presence in your work. Meditations and clothed exchanges serve to evoke a deepened healing presence for you to embody, while addressing the subtle anatomy of the energetic bodies and how to intuitively work with subtle energy in bodywork.

This intensive will focus on the energetic roots of transformation. Students can expect to learn skills for themselves and their work in a nurturing and healing environment. The morning session will be devoted to understanding and discerning specific energetic cycles of transformation from both a personal and professional perspective. Practice sessions in the afternoon will be intuitive energy sessions held in class. These sessions will serve a two-fold purpose: to apply skills from what was learned in the morning; to address specific areas of expertise each student wants to focus on in their work.

Cultivating intuition and deepening presence require a personal commitment to being aware of yourself, from which an awareness of others and the world may deepen. This segment of the training offers a personal as well as a professional journey, and requires a certain amount of introspective study and reflection. We will use various methods and tools to develop skills in the areas of intuition and the healing process, including, lectures and discussions, meditations, improvisational movement, awareness exercises, journaling, and energywork demonstrations and exchanges with others. This advanced course explores the potential for cultivating a culture of healing through an intuitive pathway of awakening.

Clinic and Electives make up the final 16 hours of training for those seeking a 100 hour certification. In addition to the intensives listed above, participants choose between additional energywork clinics, meditation group, retreats, and private sessions/tutorials with Cathy. Fees for this aspect of the training vary depending on the type of electives that are chosen.
