• 1. Using Songs and Music – Based Inter­ven­tion in Grief

  Beth Nemesh          11:00 – 12:30 CET (90´)

  The jour­ney through the pro­cess of grief moves for­ward at a per­son­al pace and may be lengthy. It is even­tu­ally resolved in accept­ance, find­ing inner peace and recon­nect­ing to life. Com­plic­ated and unre­solved grief and loss may reduce qual­ity of life and dis­rupt the con­nec­tion to pos­it­ive life energy. It may also lead to depres­sion, anger, blame, feel­ing alone, loss of hope and joy in life, and sadly may lead to sui­cide.
  Using music and songs in grief-ther­apy is based on the Satir Mod­el as well as a hol­ist­ic, body-mind-spir­itu­al approach. Songs are used to help the bereaved con­nect to their pain and oth­er emo­tions present. It allows one to feel and express the true exper­i­enced feel­ings and not what one ‘should’ feel or oth­ers expect from them. It is a con­nec­tion to the uni­ver­sal exper­i­ence of pain and loss. The music res­on­ates with our bod­ily reac­tions, offer­ing an oppor­tun­ity to exper­i­ence and express the pain through tears, move­ment and sound.
  Pre-recor­ded music and songs facil­it­ate the abil­ity to talk about loss, pain, pain­ful emo­tions and memor­ies. They enable cli­ents to address per­cep­tions of life and death, with­in a safe and pro­tect­ive dis­tance. Songs and music have a uni­ver­sal, spir­itu­al qual­ity, con­nect­ing to the pos­it­ive life energy, hope and faith. Shar­ing bereave­ment songs with a ther­ap­ist offers sup­port, com­fort, sense of togeth­er­ness, shar­ing and hope.
  This work­shop offers par­ti­cipants an exper­i­ence of using per­son­al grief music and songs as a tool in the pro­cess of heal­ing. Songs are used as an assess­ment tool of the cli­ent in the grief pro­cess as well as for grow­ing aware­ness and accept­ance in the pro­cess of heal­ing and change.

• 2. ADHD Treas­ure Hunt – Play­ful­ness and Mind­ful­ness in a Child-Par­ent Group

  Galia Ankori         14:00 – 15:30 CET (90´)

  About the work­shop: prac­tice tech­niques of a dyad­ic group ther­apy for chil­dren who are dia­gnosed with an atten­tion defi­cit dis­order.
  The ADHD Treas­ure-Hunt is an exper­i­en­tial group-work which involves the­at­ric­al and oth­er play­ful inter­ven­tions. In the pro­cess chil­dren are encour­aged to view them­selves as whole­some her­oes who have the abil­ity and respons­ib­il­ity to actu­al­ize their strengths as well as devel­op addi­tion­al skills to help them cope with their lives. The main pur­pose is to acquaint­ance chil­dren and par­ents with their inner treas­ures.
  Par­ti­cipants in this work­shop will work in pairs and small groups in order to exper­i­ence the Treas­ure-Hunt mod­el. Fol­low­ing, par­ti­cipant will dis­cuss this inter­ven­tion, its rela­tions to the Satir mod­el, and how they could apply the Treas­ure-Hunt or aspects of it in their own therapeutic\educational activities.

  Room: Stu­dio or large classroom appro­pri­ate for theat­er and movement.

• 3. Is the Attach­ment More Than a Rela­tion­ship? – The influ­ence of Attach­ment on the Rela­tion­ships in a Fam­ily System

  Valéria Hudáková, Rebeka Trepačová         16:00 – 17:30 CET (90´)

  Through this work­shop, we invite people to real­ize the dif­fer­ence between a rela­tion­ship and a bond, how that know­ledge can be help­ful in cre­at­ing a fam­ily, in cre­at­ing rela­tion­ships in the fam­ily sys­tem, rela­tion­ships between people.
  The giv­en top­ic broadly shows how the giv­en bonds are cre­ated, what all influ­ences their qual­ity, and how we can add „what did not hap­pen“ in the bonds.
  It is also import­ant to be aware of the sim­il­ar­it­ies and con­nec­tions with oth­er liv­ing organ­isms, which allows us to respect all the determ­in­ants that act in the his­tory of human devel­op­ment, with an impact on the gen­es­is of the indi­vidu­al.
  The first bond is the moth­er-child bond. so-called primary bond­ing It requires a sperm and egg donor as well as a uter­ine donor to find ourselves on this plan­et. The basic for­mula for birth con­sists of three, a tri­ad, two for sur­viv­al. The child receives a primary bond in order to sur­vive.
  The second rela­tion­ship that a child learns how to be in the world and in rela­tion to the world is the sec­ond­ary bond. The moth­er should invite the fath­er and the fath­er should register (show interest) with the child.
  A couple rela­tion­ship is the form­a­tion of a rela­tion­ship between two adults. It is import­ant to main­tain and nour­ish it, it thrives where the emo­tion­al bond of the couple is strong.
  The work­shop focuses on the pro­cesses of cre­at­ing a primary, sec­ond­ary bond (bond­ing) in the fam­ily – the bond between moth­er, fath­er, and child – and the impact of these pro­cesses on the devel­op­ment of fam­ily rela­tion­ships, with their healthy vari­ants and dys­func­tion­al altern­at­ives.
  Through exper­i­en­tial exer­cises, sculp­ture mod­el­ing, and explor­a­tion, it is pos­sible to learn to know the basic optim­al pat­terns for human devel­op­ment and dis­tin­guish their devi­ations.
  The work­shop offers par­ti­cipants the oppor­tun­ity to explore part­ner bond­ing, primary and sec­ond­ary bond­ing as a basic pre­requis­ite for a func­tion­ing primary tri­angle through exper­i­en­tial learn­ing. Par­ti­cipants will gain exper­i­ence through the tech­nique of sculp­ture and induct­ive learn­ing. They will also get the oppor­tun­ity to con­nect their exper­i­ences with the the­or­et­ic­al and prac­tic­al approach of V. Satirová and her innov­at­ive con­tri­bu­tion to fam­ily therapy.

• 4. Body Sen­sa­tion in the Satir Model

  Anastacia Metcalf Lundholm          18:00 – 19:00 CET (60´)

  Self-inquiry can hap­pen on many levels. Body sen­sa­tions can reveal inform­a­tion and resources that the con­scious mind is not in con­tact with.
  They can con­trib­ute to the pro­cess of self-explor­a­tion in the Satir Mod­el. Access­ing body sen­sa­tions height­ens our aware­ness of inner parts. The wis­dom con­tained in those parts can guide the pace and pro­cess of growth and integ­ra­tion.
  This work­shop will provide the oppor­tun­ity for a deeply exper­i­en­tial and trans­form­at­ive pro­cess.
  Ana­sta­cia has been provid­ing body-centered coach­ing and train­ing for 24 years on five con­tin­ents and across many cul­tures. Her work includes use of the Satir Mod­el and Soma­to Res­pir­at­ory Integ­ra­tion in a unique blend of con­gru­ent mod­els. She has stud­ied with the Satir Insti­tute of the Pacific, cur­rently teaches in China and Thai­l­and as well as to online cli­ents around the globe. She is an Adjunct Fac­ulty Mem­ber of The Ban­men Satir China Man­age­ment Center.
