We (Jon and Elara) are delighted to bring this one-of-a-kind Bioenergetics Yearlong Training for the third time to the UK. This is one of less than five yearlong Bioenergetics trainings worldwide.

These tensions are created by the energies of past formative experience which are imprinted on your body. This creates your character, the person you became under the influence of your parents and your society. By becoming aware of this we can release the tension and free up our energy to choose life in each moment. Thus, we are able to free up a huge amount of energy for our aliveness, our creativity, our pleasure and joy in life to create our conscious path and fulfil our dreams. **Themes for this training are:** * Understanding the patterns and needs of one’s character type * Moving from dependency to independence * Being aware of your feelings and expressing them appropriately and communicatively * Knowing what you want and what you don’t want and communicating that safely and respectfully * Assertiveness * Raising your energy levels, be
