EVENTS. CLASSES. WORKSHOPS

Intuition is our natural ability to quickly and instinctively respond, allowing us to react swiftly in an uncertain and ever-changing world. It's like a flower blooming within us, embodying compassion and creativity, and contributing to our individuality, spontaneity, and ability to connect with others. How intuition shows up varies from person to person, influenced by factors like genetics, upbringing, and culture. Despite its constant role in navigating our physical, social, and spiritual lives, intuition is often overlooked in conversation.

 

This weekend workshop explores intuition from various perspectives, including its origins in evolution, its roots in our biology, how it's felt in the body, and the differences between individuals. We'll delve into both the beneficial and potentially harmful aspects of intuition, exploring its normal and exceptional qualities, and identifying the best conditions for nurturing and developing it.

What is Intuition and Why do We Need It?

We will discuss what intuition is and why it often isn't given enough credit. We will pinpoint key aspects of intuition: sudden realizations, newfound understanding, seeing the bigger picture, immediate knowing, and nonverbal insights. We will look at how our bodies play a central role in how we perceive and act, which is crucial in understanding instincts, hunches, and gut feelings. We will identify two ways our minds process information: intuition, which happens unconsciously and from the bottom up, and deliberation, which is conscious and top-down. In our daily lives,  we need both intuition and deliberation as we switch between them depending on the situation.

​

Exploring Play and Creativity

We will explore different types of intuition, ranging from everyday experiences to more exceptional occurrences. We will discuss how some intuitive moments are tied to our immediate interactions with others, while others seem to transcend time and space. You will discover your own unique way of experiencing flashes, hunches, and gut feelings. We'll also share personal stories from our experiences, highlighting both common and extraordinary instances of intuitive knowing. We'll discuss the benefits of intuition as well as its potential pitfalls, helping you recognize when intuition may be misused or abused. 

​

We will also dive into the fun side of things: play and creativity. We will take part in exercises, exploring freely on how using metaphors that relate to our bodies to help us understand our feelings and problems better. We will also talk about how being creative is important, with metaphors often showing us new ways to look at our issues and how to tackle them. We will also discuss how mindful movement can be a source of embodied metaphors offering key concepts for growth and healing.
