A YogaSOMATICS online immersion exploring the authentic nature of enfolding and coming towards ourselves, just as we are. In time, the enfolding will then naturally unfold to the new.

We will use inward-moving yoga “asanas” or gestures to awaken and spread out the back body in a spherical way through a process called Involution. Involution is a process of becoming Self in the womb with inward movements on a spiral with its own momentum.

From Involution, we will move outwards from centre to a process called Expansion: a sacred and symbolic gesture of opening which is a somatic communication of Becomingness. This is the willingness to move outward from your inner eyes.

Using these “forms-in-flow” to move deeply towards the heart; to fold in our experience towards new creation, awareness and new perception of our personal inner “universe”. This immersion will be a combination of floor and standing yoga gestures, somatic movement, meditation, relaxation and energetic work.

YogaSOMATICS is a contemporary perspective of yoga that is immediate, fluid and experiential. It bridges traditional yoga, modern somatics, meditative techniques and inquiry towards conciousness. YogaSOMATICS encourages sensing and deep listening to make inner contact with oneself and the energetic body.

Previous participants have described the practice as “transcendent”, “an exploratory space” and “expansive”.

Dear pre-accredited and accredited fellow professionals,

Interested in joining a supervision group? They are found to be “great support”, give “valuable perspectives from experiences of other group members”.

These on-line groups are facilitated by Jim FitzGibbon SIAHIP. He is a gestalt psychotherapist whose orientation is humanistic and integrative. He recently completed supervision training for supervisors at the Gestalt Institute at HCC Italy.

From March ‘24 a few places in existing and new on-line supervision groups have become available, including Monday and Thursday both mornings or evenings.

In line with accreditation criteria set by IAHIP and IACP, groups will have a maximum of four members in order to meet criteria for your supervision hours, assessment reports etc.

Alternatively the hours could even be a good fit for additional supervision support or even CPD.

My fee is 70 euros per person for each two hour session.

If you are interested in any of the above and more, please contact me,

Jim FitzGibbon at jamesfitzgibbon57@gmail.com or 087 755 5680.

I am inviting interested participants to take part in my research which is an exploration of therapists' experiences of working with adults and social media.

Interested participants will be asked to take part in a virtual thirty minute interview via Zoom which will will discuss:

1) how counsellors and psychotherapists engage with young people (aged 18 to 25 years) and social media,

2) if there are any training needs which would support counsellors/psychotherapists in understanding the needs associated with this cohort, and

3) hear about their experiences of working with this relatively new phenomenon.

Please find further information attached.
