The
way to learn to live, to learn to love, (to learn to sing) cannot be
methodised. Therein lies the difficulty of explaining the work - and
therein, too, lies its splendour. –Marita Gunther

AUTHENTIC MOVEMENT
Authentic
Movement (AM) is a self-directed form of dance movement therapy,
also known as ‘Contemplative Dance’ or ‘Movement-in-Depth’. It is a
simple and powerful vehicle for increasing your body-mind awareness and
enhancing your spiritual development.
Like VMT,
Authentic Movement taps into the wellspring of the inner healer
and wisdom lying within the cells of your own body. AM and VMT must
both be experienced to fully appreciate what they are and the changes
even one session can set in motion. Authentic Movement has its roots in
Jungian philosophy and movement therapy; founded by Mary Starks
Whitehouse in the 1970’s.
JUNGIAN PSYCHOTHERAPY
The
focus in Jungian-oriented therapy is on you as a whole human being;
this is truly soulwork. As such, we regard the unconscious
with as much respect as the conscious self. In Jungian work we
recognize the uniqueness of each individual, thus, each person’s
process is different with its own personal symbols, dreams, and
rhythms.
Authentic
Movement and Voice Movement Therapy are based upon much of Carl Jung’s
writings on human development. Interweaving of forms
oftentimes unfolds in an organic way at a pace that supports your
growth and broadening perspective.

HEART
RHYTHM MEDITATION (HRM)
Heart
Rhythm Meditation is a simple, 3-part method of giving
your heart the energy to heal and open to its innate capacity
for love, generosity, courage, and profound joy. HRM offers a unique,
comprehensive series of meditations that
address the dimensions of the heart and the health of the physical
heart. It is practical, powerful, and deeply authentic.
The heart is the magnetic center of your body;
life force
streams through your heart ~ freely flowing when unobstructed.
In our day-day lives we tend to accumulate blockages on several levels
- emotional, spiritual, physical, mental.
HRM addresses all of these so that our hearts can once
again flow freely on all levels and be strengthened in all of
its dimensions.
Dr. Katherine Burleson, cardiologist at University
of New Mexico,
says of HRM:
“A powerful, authentic method for healing your
emotional and spiritual heart and improving your physical health.

EMDR/EFT
EMDR:
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprogramming was
developed to treat people who have experienced trauma; applications are
much broader today; this process is very specific and can be used to
help a person break a specific thought pattern, habit, or basic belief
that is not supportive in helping the person move forward in his/her
life.
EFT:
Emotional Field Therapy is a process to help a person release old
patterns of behavior, reactions, & thoughts that
are limiting growth. EFT is based upon science of mind-body integration
and eastern medical model. If you are seeking relief from a current or
long-standing problem that simply will not go away, remember that you
are not ‘that’ (the problem). EFT reconnects you with healthy beliefs
and behaviors by breaking through habituated thought forms and neural
pathways.
MEDICAL QI GONG
The
gentleness and slow pace of Qi Gong naturally enhances our body
awareness, balances our systems, and strengthens our
alignment with physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Qi Gong
predates T’ai Chi; medical qi gong has been used in clinics in China
for centuries to treat illness and to increase balance and promote
health in all individuals. The movements are coordinated with the
breath and one’s awareness.
Qi Gong is a
profoundly satisfying system of exercise that can serve anyone who has
a desire to improve health and longevity. In VoV medical
qigong is incorporated as an integral part of an individualized healing
system. Additionally, Qigong lends itself to busy schedules &
to those with little energy. Sessions at home can be short or long -
easily adapting to any schedule.
