Mastering the Work

The Transpersonal Dimension of the Core Journey

To fully appreciate the rich offering, that is Core Energetics, we need to recognize that working with the body (exploring muscular blocks and releasing feelings), amazingly a rich endeavor though it is, has to be seen as only the absolutely necessary foundation in the journey to aligning with Unitive Consciousness.

To fulfill its promise, Core Energetics needs to invite the Breath to help us let go of any attachment to the Conditioned Mind which inevitably restricts it. Only then can we come to be fully present to, and welcoming of, all our experiences; and, in alignment with Unitive Consciousness, to be open to knowing who we truly are - embodied expressions of the Core.

In this offering, participants will be invited to explore the transpersonal aspects of Core Energetics - the journey of following Breath to the search of and surrendering to the meaning and purpose of our lives.

Transformation of Images

Fundamental to Core [and Pathwork] theory is the idea that each of us has a spiritual task to work on in our lifetime. This task involves developing a human life partly based on misconceptions and distortions from birth which brings us, via painful creations, to believe in false images about the nature of life.

The distortions, over time, become "built into" our bodies and energy systems, which make it difficult to free our energy to fully experience a free and satisfying life. Understanding this dynamic task both as a concept and from our own personal work helps when working with our clients' resistance to change, even when they notice these distorted images about their lives.

Sexuality

In Core Energetics, we view sexuality as much more than just physical intimacy. It’s the purest form of life energy – the force that fuels vitality in our body, drives human connection, and enables the continuation of life. This energy reaches its most powerful expression through our sexuality.

Human sexuality touches every layer of our being: body, mind, emotions, and spirit. When these levels work together in harmony, we feel a sense of wholeness, joy, and the vibrant aliveness we all long for. But for many of us, this connection is blocked. We've grown up with shame, guilt or fear surrounding sexuality – messages that labeled it as “dirty” or “inappropriate.” These internalized beliefs act as saboteurs, keeping us disconnected from our natural pleasure and from our ability to fully engage with others – and ourselves.

This masterclass is an invitation to:

• Explore your own relationship with sexuality
• Uncover and challenge limiting beliefs and images
• Reconnect with your sexual energy and let it flow freely
• Expand your ability to hold space for your clients’ sexuality – ethically, safely, and with vitality

Deconstructing Character Structures

This class is an in-depth examination of the primary Character Structures, their descriptions, manifestations in body types, and the underlying purpose of their understanding in the uncovering of consciousness. By observing the chief feature of each, we will discuss how these seemingly automatic responses are connected to underlying images, negative statements and negative pleasure and remain fixated through identification, pride, self-will, and fear. The aim of this class is to bring light to the transformation of the negative fixated aspects to core qualities of the structures which offer greater freedom of will and higher consciousness.
