“walking is exploring the mystery of presence”
-Frederic Gros
“the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step”
-Lao Tzu
Talking therapy in the 21st Century is increasingly becoming more embodied; interventions are now used to help clients step out of the chair and into movement and the open, fresh physicality of their lives. Yet this is not so new. Freud would walk with his clients around the Ring Strasse in Vienna, literally walking the talking. Clay Cockrell, founder of Walk and Talk therapy in New York sees around 40 clients a week in Central Park.
Since 2017 I have incorporated mindful walking (I have delivered over 50 workshops and three 5 day retreats in mindfulness and am a U.K. registered mindfulness trainer and supervisor) into my therapeutic practice, at times offering mindful walking, at times delivering therapy and supervision whilst walking. The feedback has been entirely positive.
In this 6 hour experiential CPD we will be exploring how we might do just that: go for a walk with our clients and investigate how we might develop this further in the context of our therapeutic practice, with reference to therapy, mindfulness, neuroscience and current embodied thinking.
This workshop will explore
…and yes, we will be doing some walking around Jesmond, so bring good shoes, water and a coat
This workshop is facilitated by Graeme Armstrong and provides 6 hours of CPD.
