Introductory workshop: The Body Knows: A Journey Into Feeling

Introductory Workshop in Body Psychotherapy
Rediscover your aliveness in a weekend dedicated to breath, movement, connection, and embodied awareness. In this introductory workshop, you’ll explore how blocked energy influences your emotional life—and how opening the flow of your life force can bring clarity, joy, and renewed vitality.
Through guided experiential exercises and supportive teaching, you will learn to:
- Connect with your breath and body in a deeper, more conscious way
- Sense and move your energy to release emotional tension
- Understand what your body expresses in relation to yourself and others
- Give space to feelings and impulses that may be waiting to be seen
- Cultivate authenticity, presence, and connection
No matter where you are on your personal path, this weekend gently encourages you to take your next step. Many past participants report feeling more grounded, courageous, and connected—to themselves and to others.
You’ll also join community events with the students of the school, offering a real taste of the atmosphere within NICE and what it’s like to participate in one of our longer trainings. Expect a weekend that is inspiring, enriching, and energising.
