3-Part Online Practice Seminar: Embodied practices for how one shows up and makes choices…
Why Embodied practices or “Body-mindedness”?
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. So…becoming consciously able to ‘hold the bio-psycho tension’ in yourself with awareness is the basic capability for then choosing a response proactively rather than reactively.
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. In short, our body-mind relationship is key in how each person is showing up at any moment in life’s unfolding
Some more information on the "learning journey" ahead:
This offering is new and different: It is an applied learning and direct experience format, a three-part series that is designed to build foundation progressively over the course of the 3 sessions. This 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.
The actual learning and practice building is designed to happen in between the sessions. These are the moments for you to practice regularly and apply it in real-life, supported by handouts, worksheets and recordings.
Since each session builds upon the prior and your practicing in between, the first session will be required in order for you to be able follow and have a benefit from all three sessions.

Details
Just over three years ago, on February 23rd, 2022, we held our timely Online Colloquium "Taming the Bear", looking at Putin's leadership and meaning-making from an integral lens. A few hours later, Putin started his full-scale attack on Ukraine.
In this Colloquium, a conversation with friends from Ukraine, we would like to offer a space to reflect about past events and future possibilities based on integral thinking.
What are missing perspectives in the debate about this conflict? What are blind spots that we tend to avoid? What lessons do we need to learn in view of more integral futures? What can Europe and the West learn from Ukraine?
Materials for preparation
Yuliya and Valerii have recently published an article on the New Eastern Europe Think Tank Platform. They have gathered and analyzed more than 600 comments on 'What the World Could Learn from Ukraine (while it still stands...):
