Phase I: Preparing the GroundEncountering sickness and fear Seminar 1: The hidden fear of health We start by trying to discover the sense of balance. It exists in everyone, but is often covered over. We discover it through four gates: Unfolding of wellbeing, compassion, discriminating analysis and trust. Through this we also discover sickness inducing habitual patterns that prevent us from coming in contact with our basic health. Seminar 2: Touching the heart of healing We learn methods of working with our own fear and pain and discover our wish to cover up as a spiral of suffering. We also can discover our own sensitivity and tenderness as the driving force of healing. This weekend is especially dedicated to the personal experience of being touched. Seminar 3: The threat through illness We face the facts of sickness and fear, and explore, against the background of the principles of contemplative healing, the causal bodily and psychological dynamics of becoming ill in our own personality. For this we apply the experiential aspects of the three life processes from the tibetan healing arts. Phase II Walking the path - Sickness as a path Phase II: Going the waySeminar 4: The discovery of humour in healing The exploration of the personal life dynamic from the point of view of the present moment gives rise intelligence and humour, that can help us explore the healing process, so that through mindfulness of our experience and perceptions, we can bring forth our healthy aspects. Seminar 5: The struggle with the body We discover the power and the depth of our own emotional resistance that prevents us from re-examining our habitual bodily patterns, and to overcome the elemental psychosomatic illusions of being sick. Through this we give rise to a discriminating awareness that explores deeper and examines. Seminar 6: Sickness as a path Every sickness offers us a precious opportunity to gain deeper insights in our own personal body-mind confusion. Accepting this confusion with humourfull clarity is our task. This strengthens our ability to take sickness as a path. Seminar 7: The inexhaustible healers The final weekend will provide us with an overview and practial advice as to how we can maintain a natural healthy balanace in each moment of our daily life.
