Level 1 Training: The Hakomi Personhood Series

The Hakomi Personhood Series is our foundational four-module training designed to help practitioners embody the principles of Hakomi and bring mindful somatic inquiry into their work. Rooted in mindfulness and the body-mind connection, the series weaves experiential practice with deep inquiry so that participants learn to listen to the wisdom of present experience.

Across the four modules, trainees strengthen their capacity for relational presence, deepen their understanding of core methods, and build confidence facilitating transformative work with others. This series offers a supportive, reflective path into the heart of Hakomi practice and the cultivation of compassionate therapeutic presence.

  • AWKN Ranch, Austin Texas

    Awakening Presence: An Intro to Hakomi An Embodied Experience at AWKN Ranch March 23, 24, and 26,2026 6-8p each evening

    Held at the beautiful AWKN Ranch, this introductory Hakomi experience invites you into the living heart of mindfulness-based somatic practice—supported by nature, water, and spacious presence.

    Participants will have access to the hot soak and cold plunge, allowing the body to soften, awaken, and integrate the work at a nervous-system level.

    This experience will gently introduce three of the four foundations of the Hakomi Personhood Series:

    Quieting the Mind – slowing down and listening inwardly

    Loving Presence – meeting experience with warmth and compassion

    Non-Verbal Awareness – sensing what the body already knows

    Through guided experiential exercises, you’ll come away with a felt understanding of Hakomi, rather than a conceptual one—and a rich sense of what deeper monthly practice can offer.

“When you can spontaneously, and by your presence alone, make somebody else feel worthy and welcome, then you have achieved the personhood of a Hakomi practitioner.”
