Marcia Burton is offering a series of workshops through the Star of the Sea. Each workshop is organized around a theme that naturally arises in relationship. Her intention is to facilitate a community of people who are interested in cultivating self-awareness, building kindness and friendship, and learning skills to support others to do the same.
Together, we will create a gentle, quiet place to connect with ourselves and with others in a way that will stimulate gratitude, appreciation and joy, enhancing our sense of well-being. Marcia will guide us in a short silent meditation followed by exercises in pairs/small groups to support a compassionate listening practice. Everyone is welcome.
This workshop draws from the Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) training and the Hakomi method. No experience is required…..only an openness to connect with yourself and others. Marcia Burton is a Hakomi Trainer and MSC Teacher, and a Registered Clinical Counsellor, in private practice for 25 years.
Hakomi is a word from the Hopi language, meaning, “How do I stand in relation to these many realms”. The creator of the Hakomi Method, Ron Kurtz, spent over 40 years refining this method and received a Lifetime Achievement Award and honourary degree from the American Association of Body-Psychotherapists. Marcia Burton has been a student of Hakomi for 25 years and worked closely with Ron Kurtz for the last 5 years of his life.
