Our body is a very fine antenna for the most subtle signals and reveals an array of non-verbal signals that are interpreted immediately as congruent (or not) with our verbal messages.
As has also been shown in much research, our bodies have ways of knowing that are not directly connected to our conscious mind in ways that can support new perspectives and inform our possibilities for making meaning and different choices (a sense-making process). Becoming more aware and practiced in noticing our body sensations, habits, and patterns – and the meaning we make – can assist in opening new insights, intuition and choice-making versatility.
The seminar offers in depth grounding exercises as a basis for holding tension and take embodied decisions including working/coaching with each other and in depth reflection on the learning
It is an applied learning and direct experience format, a three-part series that is designed to build foundation progressively for the interdependent integration of each subsequent session.The actual learning and practice building is designed to happen in between the sessions. These are the moments to practice regularly and apply it in real-life. You will be supported by handouts, worksheets and recordings.
Join us on March 10 at 19h CET for an info-session and Q&A moment. You can sign up for this infosession in the section below.

In 2025, in the context of IFIS' Cohere+ Project, we ran a first internal alpha-test of the practice seminar and we are now ready for the next edition, starting in late September 2026.
If you cannot wait and have a group of about 12 people joining we are happy to organise it earlier according to your best convenience.
