Is it possible to live and learn with full sensory participation? We believe so. A day full of ideas, games and information that will enhance your sensory perception: Perception, feeling, smell, taste, sight, hearing and balance. Our senses lead us into the world and at the same time bring it to us. They enrich our lives, secure and shape our learning and serve our health and well-being. They give a meaning to our life and make it alive. Let’s playfully face our everyday stress, time pressure and maybe even burnout in this workshop.

Le Brain Gym® s’articule autour de 26 mouvements qui se basent sur le développement moteur de la prime enfance, époque où nous apprenons naturellement à coordonner nos canaux sensoriels via des schémas moteurs innés (réflexes primitifs). Cette journée vise à apprendre en bougeant pour explorer les liens entre ces étapes pré ou post natales et les mouvements coordonnés subtils que nous choisissons d’accomplir au quotidien. Si cette journée aborde bien sûr les réflexes, elle vise avant tout à (re)découvrir combien les simples mouvements ciblés du Brain Gym® parlent en profondeur au système nerveux. Cette journée est recertifiante pour les instructeurs/consultants Brain Gym® (12 points de crédits)

Looking back on our early childhood, we rediscover some of our unconscious belief systems and programs. What have I copied, what have I accepted or created myself and what inhibits my happiness, my success and my ability to experience and perform ? Attitudes, values, behaviours of the family of origin, society and own experiences determine the framework in which I live. A journey to openness, truth, development and compassion. What am I holding on to ? With what rigid expectations do I try to impose my will on myself or others ?

The early childhood reflexes form the basis for physical, emotional and cognitive development. The reflexes provide us with the first movement experiences, control our birth and ensure our survival in the first months after birth. Experience this on your own body and discover what influence a lack of integration or inhibition of natural development can have on your posture, movement or reactions in everyday life, on learning and on relationships. Use this workshop to work on your posture and movement patterns and to support the development of the children.
• reflexes and reactions as the foundation of our development • protective, grasp and postural reflexes • balances

Our ability to adapt to constantly changing circumstances depends heavily on the fact that someone is there for us who understands us and fulfils all our dreams. Who was able to receive all this ? The disappointment, the feeling of being left alone and the feeling of being separated casts a shadow on our adult love life, our partnership and our relationships. The early childhood bond during pregnancy, childbirth and in the months immediately after birth allows us to experience security, trust and closeness to the mother’s body. The bonding reflex is an essential support in rediscovering closeness to oneself and to others. Restore your natural ability to love and engage in relationships. The bonding reflex is a great help to rediscover the closeness within self and others. How connected am I within myself and others in relationship ? How do I feel about relationships ? Where do I lose energy ? How do I feel with closeness and distance ?

During this 2-days course (16h), you will learn a very simple technique you will be able to use for your own healing and/or for supporting the healing of others.
This method was developped by Sharon Plaskett (Brain Gym® and Touch For Health International faculty) and is so easy that even a child can learn and use it. It consists of Interface process, a focused meditation for easing the effects and stress of trauma, combined with a canopy, that creates a space for healing. Interface is a powerful tool for relaxation and stress reduction, with a goal of turning stress into strength.
If you are a certified therapist, you may combine this technique with others you already use.
This class is open to everyone. There are no prerequisites.
