WORKSHOPS & EVENTS CALENDAR

A one-day workshop with Judy Robinson

Kingscliff: Sat 31 Jan 2026, 9:30 am—5:00 pm

Begin the year grounded and renewed — reconnect with your presence as a therapist. Aligned with vital therapist competencies for reflection reflexivity and self-care, in Hakomi, the personhood of the therapist is considered central to the therapeutic relationship  The therapist’s presence, compassion, curiosity, and embodied self-awareness are understood as powerful instruments. Rather than relying primarily on tools of the trade, we bring authenticity, mindfulness, and openness as living conditions that invite safety, trust, and discovery. Cultivating this realness is both a personal and professional practice — one of ongoing self-study, resourcing, and reflection.

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.

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.

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.
