Vivation Beginners Workshop June 20 - June 22, 2014 Amsterdam, The Netherlands   Come learn this gentle, simple, yet very powerful and physically pleasurable process for quickly and permanently healing any kind of negative emotion, trauma or experience. By the end of this workshop you will have a skill you can use for the rest of your life to create deliberate happiness in your life. Vivation is an experiential and process based skill that works directly at the feeling level in your body. There is no mental component, and does not require any change in your attitude or beliefs. In this workshop you will learn the basic elements of how to completely relax and let go of all stress and painful emotions. These elements include gentle and natural breathing rhythms, complete relaxation of mind and body, and cultivating gentle and pleasurable awareness of the feelings in your body.  Over the course of 3 days you will receive 7 hour-long sessions, as well as 7-10 hours of experiential exercises and instruction. The course is being taught and facilitated by master trainer Paul Hughes, executive director of Vivation International. Paul has been teaching Vivation for 15 years, and has conducted workshops in over 30 countries and 5 continents. We are very grateful to have to have him.   What to Bring: Comfortable clothing, a pillow and blanket, something to write on if you want to take notes.
