About the Retreat Program

What is Core Energetics: Core Energetics is body psychotherapy. Early last century some of the worlds’ leading psychiatrists noticed that there was a very strong correlation between a person’s emotional state, their physical body and their bio-electromagnetic energy field. The more that they worked with the body and energy field, the quicker and deeper were the results on a person’s emotional and spiritual health.

We all have belief systems that originate from the very early stages of life. In order to have a solid foundation in the physical world, these developmental phases need to be reasonably well met. When our needs are not met or over met, we can have severe responses emotionally, spiritually, physically and energetically. Wow! So I have heard of the body-mind connection. Is this where that came from?

Of course many traditional cultures have looked at health this way. The Chinese (TCM) and the Indians (Ayurveda) are probably the best known, but most cultures had a naturopathic and holistic lifestyle approach to health.Many of Ranil’s clients are professionals (healthcare and business). They come to see him because they feel stuck in a particular area if their lives e.g. career, relationship, finances. They are usually quite self-aware and focused on their own development and really want to take it to another level. They are ready to take a deeper level of responsibility for their feelings and lives.

Ranil will show how you how to work through these key stages, whether with others or for yourself, at every level – emotionally, physically, energetically and spiritually. This is a practical training so we will be working with each other to apply the teachings of Core Energetics Body Psychotherapy.
