WORKSHOPS & EVENTS CALENDAR

We offer ongoing opportunities to experience the Hakomi approach. These workshops are stand-alone events in their own right and also form part of the prerequisite for application to the Hakomi Professional Training. Most offer a blend of professional development and personal growth. Workshops vary in length from one to three or four days.

The Nature of Hakomi: Mindful Somatic Ecotherapy Intro

A one-day workshop with Aladdin Jones

Melbourne: Sun 12 Oct 2025, 9:30 am—5:30 pm

Join us for a rich and soulful ecotherapy workshop where body, mind, and wild nature meet. This experiential journey draws on the mindful somatic depth of Hakomi therapy, the presence practices of Buddhist and Taoist traditions, the enlivening vision of Joanna Macy’s “Work That Reconnects,” the deep-seeing of Goethean observation, and the freedom of embodied movement.

Relational Mindfulness: An Experiential Introduction to Hakomi

A one-day workshop with Pernilla Siebenfreund

Brisbane: Sun 26 Oct 2025, 9:30 am—5:30 am

In Hakomi Mindful Somatic Psychotherapy, the practitioner focuses on building safety by paying attention to their own present moment experience, as well as the client’s and by responding to the client’s emotional, mental or physical state with compassion and sensitivity. This felt sense attunement in the client supports co-regulation and mindfulness, which reduces shame, allows emotional material to surface, enhances self-awareness, as well as the potential to open the door to implicit memory and unconscious limiting beliefs.

Innate Somatic Intelligence™ Trauma Therapy Approach

An Immersive Hakomi Trauma Training for Therapists, with Manuela Mischke-Reeds, MA, MFT

Sydney: Sat 6 Dec—Wed 10 Dec 2025

Innate Somatic Intelligence™ Trauma Therapy (ISITTA™) is a somatic integrative therapeutic modality that addresses how trauma in the body can be safely released and awaken innate healing capacities. The ISITTA trauma work focuses on key somatic trauma practices that can be easily integrated into other therapy modalities. Based on the Hakomi method and principles, the ISITTA work gives the therapist the much-needed somatic tools to help clients integrate their trauma experiences. This immersive training has a dual purpose: train the therapists to be self-regulated and somatically wise, whilst working with C-PSTD trauma states and building a somatic trauma repertoire.

Bringing Hakomi’s Wisdom into the Heart of Relationships

A three-day workshop with Halko Weiss & Maci Daye

Melbourne: Fri 27 Feb—Sun 1 Mar 2026

As someone with a Hakomi background, you’ve already cultivated the art of attuned, compassionate therapeutic relationships. But how can we bring these invaluable skills into everyday life—into relationships where our needs matter just as much as those of the other person? And how can we help our clients do the same? This is the terrain of real-life connections—with partners, family members, friends, and co-workers—where the dance between understanding others and expressing ourselves becomes a true art form. In this immersive workshop, internationally acclaimed Hakomi Trainers Halko Weiss and Maci Daye will guide you in cultivating deeper, more authentic connections for both yourself and your clients through enhanced communication, mutual understanding, and the transformative power of mindfulness.

In and Out of Character: From Protection to Connection

A two-workshop series with Jules Morgaine, Certified Hakomi Trainer

Auckland: Thu 9 Apr—Sun 12 Apr 2026

Character styles are formed early in life in response to our environment, around core human issues of contact, safety, need, dependency, separation, self-esteem, control, sexuality, competition and competence. These character styles create protective and supportive defences in our childhood, which later become unconscious and therefore outside our awareness. In adulthood, these patterns become limiting, making it difficult or impossible to fully achieve our potential in relationships, work, parenting and other aspects of our life.
