One Year Training 2023

Module 1 Explores the nature of Eros as a driving force in you, your relationships, and life itself. Through direct, physical experience, you gain access to a deeper system of resources and navigation. The module helps you to develop a regular practice through which the perception of yourself and the environment can change and expand. You can explore embodiment and touch to promote physical and emotional safety and openness.

• The structure and group agreements for training
• Initial Inventory: Where are you at this point in your life?
• Where do you experience essential pulse, purpose and eros in your life?
• Express wishes and set limits
• Perceiving and dealing with sensations and emotions

INTEREST: My self-confidence and self-esteem grow through my lived practice. I enter into an intimate relationship with the totality of my experiences. I am in contact with my inner resources, which give me orientation and direction.

Module 2 Examines the conditions needed for intentional partnerships to relate to a new value territory. Here the relationship is at the service of the mental and spiritual growth of all those involved in the relationship. Relationships of this kind also satisfy and enrich through the transparency of clear communication and boundaries. The possibility of emotional closeness arises. You use the strengths and weaknesses of your own personality. You can better understand patterns from your past without having to exclude your needs for security, safety, or validation.

• Create a protected framework for communication care
• Stay visible and present for your partner
• Learn to communicate from a place of deeper compassion
• What are habits and “revolving doors” in your relationship life?
• Use conflict, pain or hidden things as resources for your development
• Resolve conflicts without overriding your own needs
• The Erotic Core Theme according to Jack Morin
• Exercises related to attachment theory

INTERESTI communicate clearly and honestly. Knowing that obstacles create opportunities for growth, my life becomes richer. I recognize myself more and can therefore choose more consciously. I know how to integrate rejected personality parts more.

Summer module in nature

A community has a great, positive influence on the development of each individual. Stepping out of various forms of everyday life into the experience of an appreciative community can be immensely enriching in and of itself. Imagine a place where your individual expression can flourish, where it’s okay to be who you really are, with your longings, talents, tears, with your joy, frustration or fear.

• Experience the closeness and vulnerability that comes from sharing what really moves you with others.
• Be supported by others and support others
• bring in your talents, creativity, humor, ideas and wishes
• celebrate Eros in the body and in nature
• experiment with your own needs

INTEREST: I can open myself both to receiving support from the community and to making my skills available to the community without sacrificing my autonomy. I see opportunities to engage in life as part of a bigger picture. I trust my inherent gifts and creativity.

In module 4 you can experiment with experiencing your awareness in relation to the whole body and the space around you. Expansion inward and outward shifts your perception and thus what seems important. You can gain more clarity about what motivates you and to what extent your (sexual) being also wants to grow. You can learn to make more room for your own and others’ perspectives.

• Expansion of consciousness in body and space
• Every perspective is true, but partial
• Advanced bodywork with breath and sensuality
• Integral gender dynamics
• Motivational model of the sexual
• The Yang force in the female principle, the YIN force in the male principle

INTEREST: I can respect and appreciate other perspectives, opinions and values and view situations from an integral perspective. My understanding of gender, gender roles, and my sexuality is expanding. I am confident as a human being.

In the final Module 5 we will experiment with attitudes and techniques of “Sacred Intimacy”, an attitude that brings appreciation and acceptance into our relationships. In parallel, we will initiate together a “Continuum” depth process that connects us in a fundamental way to the experience of aliveness and can thereby bring us a new understanding and humility towards the intelligence of life. Your experience of “self” here can paradoxically sharpen and transcend at the same time. The nature of this state is an all-around embodied primal trust that is subtly, quietly empowering and ecstatic. It enhances your empathic capacities while providing you with the right bodily-emotional “medicine” appropriate at that time. Death and dying are also topics of the module.

• “Sacred Intimacy” Rituals
• Contact Eros and the intelligence of life via devotion to its finest impulses of movement
• Contact your deepest feelings about being alive and existing in an unpredictable world and eventually dying
• Accept with all your heart the life you have been given
• Ouroborus ritual
• Closing ceremony

INTEREST: By surrendering to life, I stand fearlessly in its unpredictable unfolding. I have a place to go when I feel alone or confused, need connection, guidance or healing.
