Body Mind Integration: An Introductory Workshop

This workshop will introduce the integration of the human personality through deep awareness and grounding of the body. Through experiential exercises we will explore how the personality is directly related to your body, and how the techniques of body psychotherapy can access your energy and create greater self awareness.

What you can expect to learn:
  Where in your body you feel chronic tension, pain, or no sensation    
  How to disengage with excessive mental thoughts
  How to release muscular tension
  How to breathe fully and deeply
  Develop awareness of your negative self  (The unconscious part of you that sabotages or destroys happiness)
  Cultivate awareness of your capacity to live, love, give, create, and be fully living in your body

To register:   Please call: (917).407.9641 or email: integratemindbody@gmail.com to sign up.  Please leave your name and contact info and they will get back to you to confirm your spot.  Fee is payable by cash or check the day of the workshop.

This workshop is led by Will Holloway MA, LCAT and Nicole Winston MSW.
They both have certificates in Body-Centered Psychotherapy from The Nativa Bezerra Institute in New York, NY.
