The ATB workshops are meant for teachers, therapists, and people interested in personal growth and/or interested in the practice of integral yoga. During the workshops, introspection is balanced with dynamic and fun activities to facilitate the process toward deeper self-awareness and more fulfilling ways of self-regulation.
With the Workshops we want to Offer:
A safe space where to explore awareness of being aware, a space away from life where all doing can stop and one can simply be and reconnect to a deeper and truer sense of Self.
The possibility to enter in contact with the basis and methodology of Awareness Through the Body.
A sample of the different types of exercises/activities we do, so that participants can experience them in their body, integrate them, and thus be able into bring them to their work and life.
Basic Modules
ATB 1 – ATB Foundations – The ABC of Life & the Witness Attitude
Basic Tools – The Seeds of conscious attention.
ATB–2 – Conscious sensation, emotion and connection.
ATB–3 – Cultivating presence. Dynamic attention.
These modules are interrelated and complement each other. They offer a broad base with which one can start implementing Awareness Through the Body. With these modules, one has the basis of ATB. To go deeper into the work, and integrate ATB fully it is necessary to practice regularly and continue with the Advanced modules.
ATB is designed as a circular training. We invite you to return to the workshops several times, allowing periods of regular practice in between. At the very least, we suggest completing two full cycle of both the Basic and Advanced trainings.
These workshops are offered in two ways: one module at a time, in a 2 or 3 days workshop or all the modules together in a 9 or 8 day intensive workshop. They can only be facilitated by a certified trainer.
Advanced Modules
ATB 4 – Integrating awareness into the body. Opening the heart.
ATB 5 – Centering and aligning the Self. Manifestation: The Elements and the Evolution of Consciousness.
The themes presented here require a deeper capacity for introspection. These modules build on the experience gained in the Basic modules, fostering a more profound contact with oneself ,the surrounding world and Life . They support a deeper integration of ATB and and enrich the overall experience.
These modules are most often offered together as an 8-day intensive retreat.
They can only be facilitated by a certified trainer.
Exploratory Modules
The duration of these workshops can vary from a few hours to a few days. They are intended as an exploration of specific ATB themes or as an ATB practice. Exploratory modules will not be described here as they are not part of the general training.
Exploratory workshops can be facilitated either by a certified facilitator or a certified trainer.
