Your Body Knows Your Story

Your Body Knows Your Story is a powerful journey of self-discovery, reflection, and empowerment, that combines profound physical experiences rooted in contemporary theater and dance, with formidable insights from Existential and Narrative therapy. The program is led by theater maker and therapist, Ben Yalom. Participants will be led on a journey, both individual and collaborative, that will help them clarify their own values and ethics, better understand what is meaningful to them, and what they have been up against in learning to flourish. The experience is both enjoyable and satisfying, as well as intensely moving for many. The course can be scaled from 1-5 days

Life as Creative Process

This is a program based in the deep wisdom of artists and creators, interwoven with techniques and knowledge from the traditions of Existential and Narrative therapy. Life is a constant encounter with the unknown. Despite our best planning, we cannot be certain how things will turn out, nor what the results of our actions will be. For millennia artists and other creators – designers, inventors, visionaries, etc. – have developed brilliant strategies for working with uncertainty, strategies which can be powerfully useful in the lives of everyone grappling with what if means to be human. Instructor Ben Yalom has distilled lessons from his decades of celebrated work in avant-garde theater, and combined this with experience and curiosity as a psychotherapist. He focuses on five central themes, and related artistic practices that can be directly applied to our daily living: · Awareness through Attention · Comfort with the Unknown · Theme and Variation · Limitations and Parameters · Improvisation These practices are then related to individuals’ personal values, ethics, and meanings for life, meanings which therapeutic techniques can help uncover and refine.

What Happens When Mental Health meets the Machine? Full Interview with Psychotherapist Ben Yalom

“After the workshop I am identifying my challenge as a more tangible problem I am encountering in life. Having a more concrete target to work against gives me some optimism that there is a way out.” (Michael D.) “I feel I can direct my own life. I really love the expressive power of theater. I’ve come to better understand my body and trust the signals it gives me.” (Lixue J.) “This process soothed much of my anxiety, helped me settle down to enjoy life, and even shifted some habits. I’ve started moving more in line with my heart, without forcing or rushing.” (Kelin B) “This workshop deepened my realization of the truth of our shared humanity. I also appreciate the safe and creative space created by you and all of us. It was truly inspiring and transformative.” (Chloe X) “…A powerful refresher of the senses – an invitation to reconnect with what really matters.” (NRC, the Netherlands)
