C.A.R.E - A Somatic Approach for Creativity. Attachment. Resilience. Education

Jan 31, 2025 - Apr 03, 2026 | 6 Modules


          

We warmly invite you to join a unique training program that combines theoretical insights with physical practice. The C.A.R.E. program integrates principles from Body-Mind Centering®, Feldenkrais, and Neurophysiological Psychology to explore, embody, and teach the connection between our physiological development and emotions. This understanding can enrich your life and enhance your work with others.

Key Pedagogical Elements of the Program:

  • Developmental Foundations: C.A.R.E. begins by observing how human beings develop from the earliest stages (prenatal, infancy, early childhood) and how movement and attachment influence learning. The neurobiological foundations of learning, such as nervous system function and the development of trauma, form the pedagogical cornerstones of the course.
  • Learning through Experience: Participants learn through embodied experience. Movement-based activities foster a deep understanding of developmental processes, with theoretical information supporting personal reflection and learning.
  • Learning as a Lifelong Process: C.A.R.E. is for those who want to deepen their understanding of learning as an ongoing developmental process—whether working with children, adults, or focusing on their own personal growth.

Who is this program for?

  • Teachers, social workers, youth professionals, seeking new ways to help children and adolescents grow through body awareness and embodied learning.
  • Parents who wish to better understand how movement and mindfulness can enhance their children’s emotional and physical well-being.
  • For those seeking to develop emotional and physical support and well-being and to assist others in doing the same.
  • Whether you are experienced in these areas or new to them, this program will offer you valuable tools to develop your understanding and practice while helping others find greater balance and resilience.
Why attend?
  • Understand the deep connection between our physiological and emotional systems.
  • Learn techniques to support your own emotional, mental, and physical well-being.
  • Gain insights into how to help others—especially children and young people—develop body awareness and emotional regulation.
