In this training, we will explore how to access our own Essence through bodywork. If you are an Essence Teacher or a Teacher in training, you will also learn how to use bodywork in Essential Transmissions and support your students in their exploration via the body. Using a selection of appropriate bodywork exercises, we will attempt to reach Essence in an experiential way. The body is the book of life—it is our fundamental vehicle for being in contact with reality and offers the most direct path to connecting with Essence. Essence resides in the body. It is not a figment of the imagination, nor a concept or mental construct. Through the body, we can experience Essence directly.

The Stupa is the Essential vehicle of power, virility, resurrection of our total energy, aliveness and actualization. It is the giant generator in us and in all of existence. It is the vehicle which includes our totality and enables us to actualize our full potential in life.

Conscience is the land where the Soul lives in. The Soul is the most precious there is. Our Soul is unique, and carries all her ornaments and jewels, learns and develops in life, creates and manifests her unique expression. The Soul is sacred, our divinity, made of Essence. Each Essential quality of the Soul is made of Conscience and has a protectiveness to it.   

We are all glorious Beings, prefect in our True Nature. Yet, we are deeply broken. There is nothing to be fixed in our Being. Life is a mystery to be lived, waves of magnificence in the ocean. In order to reach that state of the greatest bliss, which is the union with our Soul, we need to attend to our woundedness. That state is our humanness. Our brokeness is the bridge that can bring us back to our vulnerability.

In this group we will start unfolding, investigating and eventually healing what is on the way of us being the genital character. Through meditation, bodywork and conscious therapeutic work, we let go of the ego shell occupying our physical body in order to reach again the Body of Bliss, to open our senses, reach natural self regulation, all the way to celebration. This is nothing else but sexual deconditioning. 

Exploring the Bodytypes of Alexander Lowen

During this training, we experience the five bodytypes of defense of Alexander Lowen and their psychic and psychological dimensions. We will acquire contemporary and applicable knowledge about the different types, for ourselves and for working with people therapeutically. In becoming conscious of, experiencing and gaining distance from our defensive patterns, we learn to let go of what does not truly belong to us. In this way we come closer to our natural self.

This training takes place in Thymaina, a small Greek island in the Aegean sea which does not have more than 50-80 inhabitants.

In this course, the student learns the elements of facilitating a group, from the practical details and structure all the way to how to mirror and give feedback. We also learn in-depth about personality types, according to the Enneagram, and the essential resource each type is attempting to embody.

This is part 1 of a training conducted by Vedanta on healing the inner child. It is offered for therapists, educators, people in healing professions and others who may be interested. Vedanta offers her unique perspective and rich experience on accessing and integrating developmental issues from childhood so that we may touch upon our Essential Being.

The Copper Love is authentic love and the love for truth. In this love we become bravehearts. We are not bound by fear and compromise, but we step up to truth out of the love for truth. We follow the basic honesty of our heart. We become lionhearted and wide-chested, ready to embrace all that is there without preference. The heart becomes strong, free of collapse and the lie of the personality, a conscious heart, a soldier of love, devoted to being.  

The Fourth Level of education can be extended in more than one year. As always, we emphasize on the process of self-transformation. That includes the actualization of who we truly are in our daily life, in the professional field, in our relationships, etc. In general, we master living our life according to our true inner values.

This second part of the training is purely an empowerment in discovering and reconnecting with our True Self and potential. We will explore the issues around our power and everything that holds us back from living life totally, as we deserve and according to our Soul mission. We will be able to see how we control and limit our life energy.

Essence experienced through the heart radiates through the prism of Love, becoming Essential Love Dimensions, Personal and Impersonal Loves. In this group we will explore the Golden Love Essence. 

This is a specific training for beginning therapists and Essence Teachers. Vedanta, who is a senior Teacher in the Diamond Logos Work, has been offering this training for the last 17 years. A variety of skills are taught in this education, starting from the basic training and progressing to more specialized material for training as an Essential therapist and being able to work with Essence.

This five-day group is the first part of the Power of Light Basic training. It provides a dynamic experience that can transform your life and support you in finding your Inner Strength. The work helps you to access the resources that lie within yourself, inspiring you to take the reins of your life in your own hands and align with your true potential and uniqueness.

In this weekend we will present the methodology of our Institute, from both a theoretical and an experiential perspective.
 
If you are a newcomer, you will come in touch, experience and understand the way in which we work. You will be able to open up to your own inner process, with a sense of direction and clear intent. You will be able to tap into your own inner guidance.
 
If you are already a trainee or a therapist studying with us, you will be able to see the bigger picture of what our method is about. This will give you more trust in your own process and in working with people. If you are a therapist, you will get the greater view and structure of the methodology that you are already applying with the people that you work with.

This first part of the 3rd year focuses on giving the students a foundation to work with relationship issues and couple therapy.

Essence experienced through the heart radiates through the prism of Love, becoming Essential Love Dimensions, Personal and Impersonal Loves. In this group we will explore two Personal Love Essences, which are closely related and present in the early months of our life: the Milky Love and the Colostrum Love. The Colostrum Love is received by the newborn baby through the colostrum of the mother and is an extremely rich quality of love, a love which sustains the baby at the very beginning of its life. It is the love that makes us feel worthy and entitled to receive.

Essence experienced through the heart radiates through the prism of Love, becoming Essential Love Dimensions, Personal and Impersonal Loves. The Pink Love is a personal Love and is transmitted to the baby through the unconditional, total and caring presence and attitude of the mother in the very early stages of childhood and through the environment surrounding the baby. The Pink Love has an unconditional presence. It is compassionate, giving and brings delicate softness in our system. At the same time it has a protective and resilient quality to it.

In the developmental stage of autonomy*, the human infant needs to master a great developmental task: differentiation from their mother. As important as is to have received and have been enveloped by the golden merging by mother in the symbiotic stage, so is the the stage of differentiation and building a structure on which our autonomy can be based. When we are able to move towards differentiation, we can finally create the right pre-requisite to start being and feeling the Self. We can be our own entity, feel our own impulses and move into the world in order to express ourselves and actualize these impulses.

Wilhelm Reich and Alexander Lowen, the forefathers of body-oriented psychotherapy (and Bioenergetics), introduced to the world the “Genital Character.” 

The Genital Character, the Zorba of our Being , is the one who lives free and can express his love fully from his heart and his pelvis and can participate in life. He is the one who can reach ecstasy and celebration and from there, gratefulness to life. Being filled with life, he cannot only reach out to God, but he can reach his own divinity: from passion and ecstasy, to devotion.

In this group we will start unfolding, investigating and eventually healing what is on the way of us being the genital character. Through meditation, bodywork and conscious therapeutic work, we let go of the ego shell occupying our physical body in order to reach again the Body of Bliss, to open our senses, reach natural self regulation, all the way to celebration. This is nothing else but sexual deconditioning. 

In this weekend, we will explore the Essential quality of Intimacy, which is an Impersonal Love. The quality of intimacy is a healing resource for the state of isolation and withdrawal. It is a sense of familiarity, of communion, of being close with our essence, a feeling which envelops and relaxes us like a warm summer night under a starry sky.

This part of the training is also open for people that have not participated in the previous trainings. In our lives today, most of us have lost touch with our intuition, that inner voice of our conscience which functions as a guiding light in our lives and can lead us to our true purpose. Instead, we often listen to and identify with limiting, critical and punishing voices within us that keep us confined within a prison of false beliefs about ourselves and life.
