“Hakomi…is a specific type of learning, the unlearning of adaptations that cause unnecessary suffering.” ~ Ron Kurtz

Donna Martin and Georgia Marvin will guide you through a series of video clips of Ron Kurtz explaining aspects of Hakomi, followed by experiential exercises to deepen our understanding of unnecessary suffering and the ways in which new experiences can ignite the healing process and a journey into wholeness.

Ron Kurtz was the creator of Hakomi and dedicated his life to developing and refining this approach. He emphasized the importance of non-violence, gentleness, and respect in the therapeutic process. Ron's contribution lies in his innovative integration of various disciplines, including Buddhism, psychology, and somatics, to create a unique and effective therapeutic method. His work has had a significant impact on the field of psychotherapy, providing practitioners with valuable tools to help individuals explore their emotional patterns, uncover limiting beliefs, and achieve personal transformation.
