Seishindo Somatic Coaching
Use your body as a second source of intelligence
with Charlie Badenhop and Marleen Adriaensen
October 2-3, 2008
in Antwerp, Belgium

Do you find yourself unable to help certain clients without really understanding why?

Would you like to intuitively follow the lead of your clients, rather than attempting to apply a fixed set of theories and techniques?

Have you discovered that helping people change the way they think, often doesn't help them change the way they behave and feel?

You will become more confident and effective as a coach once you learn how to:
• Understand how the body catalyzes people's emotions and drives their behavior.
• Bypass the rational mind, and "talk" directly to your client's body and their emotional self.
• Discover the positive, live airming meaning of your clients problems and symptoms.

You'll be introduced to precise well proven methods for observing, understanding, and respectfully interacting with the non-verbal conversations of your clients. You'll also learn simple yet powerful practices that help you meld the wisdom of the body with the wisdom of the intellect—So that more often, your clients are able to achieve the goals they desire.

In this workshop you will
• Experience how the way people use their body determines their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.
• Learn how to enter into "an embodied state of awareness", in order to grain greater rapport with and intuitive understanding of your clients.
• Create a framework that leads you to focus on your client's strengths and potentials, rather than attempting to help people overcome perceived weaknesses.
• Learn how to think less, in order to understand more.

For you?
• Seishindo Somatic Coaching can be used as a tool for coaches, leaders, managers and anyone promoting health, awareness, self conidence, and well-being, in others.
• Wear comfortable clothing that you can move in, and know that you are free to work at your own pace and rhythm. This course is not physically demanding.
• The course is in English; the exercises and practices in smaller groups you will do in your own language.

Please come join us, for a heartfelt experience beyond words.

There seems to often be some part of us, other than our cognitive mind, which stops us from getting what we want in life. Yet somehow this same non-cognitive part can also be the source of our deepest wisdom and joy....when we open to it fully and honor the communication and knowledge it offers us.
