Core Care – How to keep your heart open in challenging times

Core Care – How to keep your heart open in challenging times

Core Care is a 3 days Core Energetics workshop to process and connect around our inner and global challenges, specifically concerning our relationship to nature and the environmental crisis we are in. Everywhere around us we see and feel signs of imbalance. We see it around us and we feel it within.

Our intention for this workshop is to allow space for all feelings you might have around the challenges of our time, and the pain we feel when we connect to loss of nature, culture and health.

We want to give space to explore questions like:

• How to restore our inner balance and look at this challenge from a place of safety and regulation?
• How do we allow and transcend our anger, and stand for the life we deeply feel is possible?
• How do we deal with the feelings of helplessness, collapse and grief around the destruction of nature?
• Can we find a place of heart, of open attitude towards what is happening and be with the pain without looking away?
• How do we come to our aliveness in times of disharmony?

We intend to facilitate a space to find safety and connection, to open our hearts together into this big topic and welcome the feelings that need to be felt. Together, we can find strength and support each other in opening up. Bodywork, body-oriented exercises and body-oriented processwork allow you to connect deeper with your body, so that you can ground, regulate and re-connect with your essence. You are welcome with your process regarding this topic and with all feelings.

In the three days, we hope to come into our hearts, to find a space of reconnection and encouragement, so that we can continue taking our steps in this world with warmth and trust.

Core Energetics
The work of Core Energetics can facilitate an embodied space for all feelings and processes that revolve around the environmental challenges we face. Core Energetic process work can help us connect to ourselves, to our bodies and our soul. It guides us to connect, to support and be supported by like-minded people. In this way, we devote our work to the healing and re-balancing of earth and all life.

There are a few things where Core Energetics can help us in the process of dealing with crisis:

• Grounding in the body, allowing for a deeper connection to our sense of reality and presence in the world. This helps us to take care of ourselves on a deeper level because we can feel what we need.
• Energy. A space for all feelings to be expressed. By expressing our anger, grief, helplessness, and also joy, we become more alive and create a larger consciousness of who we are and what we need.
• Connection. Deep healing needs a re-connection with our own core, and with the core of others. By moving into connection, we can get out of the illusion of separation and move towards union.
• Consciousness. All the work we do together can bring a deeper consciousness of our own being and of the larger whole. From this consciousness we can step into a leadership of our own lives, understanding that we can move from ego-consciousness to a heart-centered consciousness.
