ABOUT KAMALA AND HAKOMI

Kamala has been inspired by the Hakomi Method of Mindfulness-Based Somatic Psychotherapy since 1985 when she began training in the method. In 1988 she became a certified Hakomi practitioner.

ABOUT HAKOMI

Hakomi Experiential Therapy combines mindfulness and principles of Eastern spiritual traditions with a unique, highly effective Western methodology.

Hakomi is a body-centered, somatic psychotherapy. The body is experienced as a door that can be opened to reveal the character and belief system of the individual. The body’s structures and habitual patterns become a powerful access route to unconscious ways of organizing, and to internal resources.

The Hakomi Method allows the hidden beliefs which shape our lives and relationships to emerge safely into consciousness. Once conscious, they can be directly experienced and re-evaluated, and new dimensions of awareness can be integrated.

Loving presence and the healing relationship are central to Hakomi. People learn to develop an exquisite sensitivity and attunement to others, and to convey this understanding. This empathy and responsiveness helps to create a deep sense of safety and connection, and facilitates the effectiveness of therapy.

The Hakomi Institute was founded in Boulder, Colorado in 1981 by Ron Kurtz and the Hakomi trainers. Since then, the Institute has expanded to offer Hakomi Trainings across the U.S. and internationally. Workshops and trainings are currently held in the United States, Canada, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand.
