Join us for a Professional Training Workshop in a holistic, somatic approach personal growth and healing.

Pulsation, Grounding and Presence:

Reclaiming the body, Acceptance and Personal Empowerment.

Grounding the Body and Restoring Contact

May 18, 19 & 20, 2024 9:00 am - 4:30 pm

Rocky Hill, Connecticut

We invite you to explore the benefit of working with the body to bring about change in our sense of "being in the world."

"Pulsation" is seen in all of the rhythms of life, from the pulsing of a star to the tiniest atom. We'll explore the breath and other pulsations in humans that affect how we live in our bodies and interact with the world.

When we are "Grounded," we are in touch with reality, we have a "grip on the world," we can to "stand on your own two feet." We feel secure being in the world, and it is a source of support for our being. We feel connected to the world.

"Presence" means that we are embodied, dwelling neither in the past or the future, but being right here, right now, in good contact with ourselves and in good contact with others and the world around us..

Our pulsation, our flow of energy ~ emotions, spontaneous behavior, clear thinking ~ can all be disrupted by the events or circumstances in our lives, resulting in patterns of contracting our bodies that prevent us from connecting with others, from being realistic, and from achieving what we would like to in the world. Our goal is embodiment.

This workshop is people who work in a helping capacity with others to learn basic techniques to facilitate grounding and presence, and restore our energetic flow.

Learning objectives:

• Understand Contact and Contactlessness interpersonally and within the self;
• Experience various aspects of grounding from a developmental perspective
• Promote grounding in the body to facilitate awareness and effectiveness
• Learn how to reduce anxiety with grounding techniques
• Describe how particular patterns of breathing, muscle tension and movement can influence a client's mood, emotional experience, expression and energetic regulation.
• Learn to use touch and movement to change established patterns of inhibiting one's experience

Days 1 and 2: Theoretical and experiential learning of somatic techniques

Day 3: Opportunity to give and receive sessions with fellow participants.

Trainer

Melissa Lindsay, PsyD, has been a Certified Radix Practitioner since 1995, and a trainer with The Radix Institute since 2008. She has a Master of Counseling degree with a humanistic orientation, Certification in Gestalt Therapy, a doctoral degree in Clinical Psychology, and additional training in a variety of modalities. Melissa has maintained a private practice in Hawaii since 1985, working from a body-centered orientation with a broad range of issues, and specializing in working with adults who have experienced trauma.

The Radix Institute offers educational training workshops that give participants the opportunity to take individual modules to complement their professional practice or for personal interest. Module 1 introduces people to basic concepts and their application. Further training modules focus on specific content areas such as presence, pulsation, grounding, affect regulation, character structure, trauma, child development and sexuality from a somatic perspective. Most modules can be taken by themselves, or can lead to certification as a Radix Practitioner. See all training workshops here.

For the Certification Program, Trainees may apply at any time during the first four modules, and commence their supervised practice after Module 4 (offered in May in the United States.)

"Pulsation, Grounding and Presence" is Module 3 of the Radix Institute Training Program. For more information, Contact information@radix.org.
