Hakomi: Presence in connection
Friday, March 2nd     6 to 9 pm     $35

This workshop will explore some of the key concepts in Hakomi as well as Somatic (aka Body-Oriented) Psychotherapy as a broader field. What do words like ‘embodiment', ‘mindfulness', 'non-violence', and 'mind-body holism' really mean? How do we experience those concepts in our bodies, lives, and work? What does our work look like if we move away from a pathologizing medical model of psychotherapy into one that is more holistic, relational, and embodied? And why does accessing a sense of play and creativity feel so important in this ‘serious’ work of therapy? These are some of the questions and topics we’ll dive into, and we’ll do so using a mix of discussion, didactic, and experiential exercises. 

Kris Jacobsen MA LMHCA has a private practice in Seattle and sees both individuals and couples. She works with trans and cis clients struggling with relationship issues, life transitions, loss/grief, and creative blocks. Her focus tends toward developing deeper connections, both internal and external, to ‘truth’, ‘authenticity’, and a felt sense of knowing.

She is a graduate of the Somatic Counseling Psychology program at the California Institute of Integral Studies, and has continued her studies through trainings in Hakomi as taught by the Hakomi Institute of CA, Psycho-Physical Therapy (Bill Bowen) and Re-Creation of the Self (Jon Eisman).
