WORKSHOPS & EVENTS CALENDAR

A one-day workshop with Aladdin Jones

Melbourne: Sat 28 Mar 2026, 9:30 am—5:30 pm

Increasingly, there is recognition that something is missing if we do not include a somatic body-based connection in therapy. The body is a powerful storehouse of unconscious wisdom. Through attending and befriending (applying wisdom and compassion) and specifically the practices of presencing, tracking and contacting, we are able to increase mindful awareness within therapeutic systems. These approaches and skills allow for  emergent possibilities for those we are supporting, more freedom, and a felt-sense of  integration and connectedness. This collaborative approach offers a more direct dialogue  with the ‘hidden conversations’ and information inherent within our own bodies. The  Hakomi approach supports a deepening of practice and provides immediately accessible  therapeutic skills that are practical, creative, experiential, embodied and compassionate.  Hakomi has been at the forefront of integrating somatic and mindfulness in therapy  for over 40 years. This 1-day workshop offers the opportunity to experience the Hakomi  Mindful Somatic method of psychotherapy.

A one-and-a-half-day workshop with Miranda Miller

Perth: Fri 20 Feb—Sat 21 Feb 2026

Hakomi as a method of psychotherapy is based in Mindfulness – the capacity to bring active, curious attention to our experience in the present moment. Mindfulness allows us to connect through our somatic/felt sense to memories of early experiences which have shaped our view of the world and what we can/ do expect. It is in a deep understanding of the beliefs formed and decisions made in response to our early life that real change without constant effort is able to occur.

A two-day workshop with Halko Weiss, PhD, Co-Founder and Senior Trainer of the Hakomi Institutes in the US, Germany, New Zealand and Australia

Sydney: Sat 21 Feb—Sun 22 Feb 2026

This masterclass style workshop gives participants the opportunity to directly experience the power and subtlety of the Hakomi Mindful Somatic Psychotherapy approach by observing a master Hakomi therapist provide live sessions. Halko will offer three to four live sessions each day, with each session followed by discussion and debrief of the therapy process. You may simply observe or volunteer to be selected for a live session.

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.

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.
