ABOUT HAKOMI
Hakomi – guided self-discovery
The term "Hakomi" means "Who am I in all these worlds" and comes from the Hopi language and invites you to a deep self-discovery. The method was developed in the 1970s by Ron Kurtz (1934-2011) in the USA and was continuously refined by him until the end of his life. Today, Hakomi is understood as "guided self-discovery" - a process that opens up access to inner knowledge.
A Hakomi session is a mindful and experiential method for exploring the relationship between body, mind and emotions. Here is the outline of the process:

Exploration:

Through gentle questions and impulses, I accompany you in deepening your inner experience.

These processes are often body-oriented – for example, we may explore sensations, gestures or postures associated with emotional issues.

Knowledge and Integration:
