Unergi Workshop Samples
Laws of Attraction
We invite you to explore how we can learn to want what we have, instead of wanting what we want.
It seems to me that only when we can surrender to and embrace that what “is”, will our energy field be expansive enough to attract our momentary human desires.
With Unergi Touchback, talk, nature and art, we will explore how to move – physically, emotionally and spiritually – into a lightness of being, which can release us from “cosmic laws” of difficult repetitive ancestral patterns.
By celebrating what, how and who we are NOW we begin to manifest what we want the most – to know how to love.
Learning to Unlearn
Our traditional education has taught us to learn by thinking... In this workshop we will learn how to let sensing inform our thinking.
Jan Baty – Alexander Teacher & Juilliard trained violinist – will guide us to explore the body's energy spirals inherent in bones and muscles.
Through touch, talk, Unergi core-support movement, nature and art, we will let thought, feeling & action arise from our sensing self.
By not adding other layers, we perceive and learn by undoing... and allow a connection between heart and brain... eventually moving us into a delicate lightness of being.
Please bring a nature object that reminds you of a spiral!
Releasing the Need for Healing & Fixing
Join us to let Unergi–Touchback lead you into your body's organic energy design. With the refined quality of Unergi touch awareness, we bypass, yet simultaneously honor, layers of habitual physical and psychological defense mechanisms.
We meet in the energy feedback loop of unconditional presence.
Student and client alike release the need for healing & fixing. Instead we learn to acknowledge the Core-Intelligence for our vast internal/external support systems.
To prepare the student's receptive field, we will initiate a “dance of gravity” with an art & nature touch dialogue, using Unergi Core-Support Movements, the Alexander Technique and Gestalt Therapy.
Bridging the LARGE & small Self-Divide
As we fall in love with the search for our larger potential, we most often leave younger aspects of self behind. Since this earlier self needs to be included in the journey to Wholeness, it often creates its own voices by making itself felt and heard through physical and emotional pain, therefore sabotaging our efforts for a harmonious life.
Using touch, talk, movement, art, nature & play, Unergi (Unity & Energy) gently and powerfully reunites the present adult and the abandoned child self by attending, with reverence, to the whole physical, emotional and spiritual Self-Healing Journey.
“Grace of Gravity”
We will explore how our body's physical landscape inscribes itself in space.
As we receive sensory and emotional feedback by “donating our weight to gravity”, we will learn how to take advantage of being cradled by the Earth itself – and fall gently into grace.
Join us for this extraordinary adventure in which matter and spirit are experienced as one. Physicists call this “Non-Locality”.
What if it were SIMPLE to Return “ Home ”
Let your core intelligence teach you
How could we simplify accessing our body-brain-heart wisdom? With Unergi “Touchback”, talk, movement, art and nature, we will safely guide you during this weekend's retreat.
Surrounded by stunning architecture and a bird's eye view of the Delaware River , we will rely on our sensory intelligence to take us home to our core.
Emotional Intelligence: Rewiring the Body-Emotion Connection
Brain-mind scientists agree that the amygdala – an almond-shaped area in our brain – triggers our fear and fight/flight responses. It calls attention to any potential threats we perceive in our relationships, or our world.
In this workshop we will create a safe and provocatively creative environment to help your body/mind/heart re-route neural pathways in the brain and choose new, alternative and intelligent emotional and physical ways of being.
Unergi Touchback, a gentle hands-on technique, combining touch, talk, movement, creativity and nature, will rewire your brain's responses and guide you to a harmonious balance between body, mind emotions and the authentic desires of your heart and spirit.
Come join us and bring an extraordinary YOU!! out of hiding.
The Re-education of Relationships: Voices of profound communication
Revealing the grace of our core-support leads us to trusting in the relationship of our body, our significant others and our world.
Our sensory responses and therefore emotional intelligence resides in this core support.
In this workshop, we will sensitively build the core relationship that our “being muscles” offer which ingeniously wrap themselves around the spine!
We are spineless (frozen in fear and fight / flight response) when we don't know how to sense this primary organization of essential spine support. Transform your relationships and expand your world view with your core-support wisdom.
Become “Spine-full”!
Calming the Reptilian Brain
Accessing the feminine in the healing arts
The modern age has shrunk our souls into the industrial box. War impulse has shrunk the masculine soul.
This workshop invites our creative feminine wisdom, and releases our masculine soul from habitual, reactive fight/flight survival behavior.
We will explore the true art of body-mind-emotion conversation, which speaks into the silence of the heart.
Touch/Alexander Technique, Talk/Gestalt Therapy, Unergi Movement, Painting/Art Therapy, and the healing forces of Nature will call us back to our powerful organic self.

By accessing your integrated body-mind-emotions web, you will learn to follow the guidance of your “Wise One”.
Expand your receptive field by gently kissing your “Sacred History” good-bye (also called “stuff”, interferences, resistance, sabotaging self) – and become friendly with your “Unergi” (unity and energy) Core Support. Emerge with an expanded vision and body of you and your world!
Enjoy this special retreat weekend high above the Delaware River – a space filled with artwork from all over the world.

This workshop will give you a "toolbox" that will help you to re-script past events, and gift you with your own immense creative choices still lying dormant in your subconscious.

Body and Stone – Sculpture with Unergi Touchback

Hands that learn to listen and shape will help us to understand that all life is movable energy and that new energy patterns create new forms.
We will work with layers of our emotions as our touch amplifies metaphors and connections to ageless stone, shape and motion.

Meet Your Leprechaun! with Unergi Body-Psychotherapy
One of the important components in our Unergi Body-Psychotherapy studies, is to “call in” the Healing Forces of Nature. We learn how to awaken our profound desire to commune directly with a nature being.
With your intuition (often still deeply buried) you will be able to discover the splendor of their subtle forms and attract the appropriate nature spirit.
Intention and sincerity will connect us with the overlighting “deva” energy of a mountain, valley, or river – or a tiny “elemental” involved with the evolution of a flower – maybe a mighty tree spirit will share its wisdom – or animal beings will awaken our innate curiosity.
We invite you to play with the leprechauns (Irish for Nature Spirit) of love and laughter, who may guide you to a deeper contact with your own healing “body elemental”.
Creating a Healthy Body, Healthy World: Art-full Choices and Ridiculous Courage
Inter-personal relationships and the demands of society and nature are now forcing us to take a closer look at what works and what doesn't.
The good news is that our body/mind/emotions hold the truth and treasures for creative responses. To create more ease, flow, and answers that work, it is essential that we set our creativity free!
Meet the core of your immense creative self on cellular levels and with ridiculous courage, jump into surprise! This is where true health and healing reside – not only for yourself, but for the entire planet.
How Does Language Shape our Bodies?
We express our belief systems in feelings, words and movement. How, in turn, do they shape our bodies and the world around us?
We will examine our emotional, physical and metaphysical responses to words and sounds, while learning how we can become response-able to the subconscious metaphoric messages.
Discover how your Body-Language can guide you into a healthy and balanced body-mind-emotion-spirit connection. As we clear the pathways to potential and purpose, we may find out how our immense creative, spiritual self dares us to Play!
The Response – Ability of Touch with Unergi Body-Psychotherapy “Touchback”
This workshop's intention is to bring awareness to and reprogram the American touch phobia so prevalent today. By learning how to speak clearly and directly with our hands through non-verbal communication, we will re-establish a body-mind-emotion connection that may have been severed by abuse, neglect, confusion or mistrust.
The focus is placed on receiving while giving non-sexual, appropriate, gentle, healing touch. This will establish non-hierarchical healthy boundaries and trust, and resolve multi-layered projection issues. Learn to enjoy the deeply healing qualities of Unergi ‘Touchback' and become a ‘Touchback' volunteer.
