Innerwork


INNERWORK is way of deeply exploring our inner world and experience and learning how the challenges in our societies and culture interlink with our own story.

It is an embodied approach that enables us to unfold for ourselves the inherent meaning of marginalised signals and experiences. For example, the disturbances we face in our bodies or relationships can be explored and unfolded and transformed, so that they no longer disturb us in the same way.

The Deep Democracy perspective applies equally to Innerwork as it does to all other applications of Processwork. From this perspective, when you work on yourself alone, all your voices – those that have more power and those that you don’t yet know – are important, needing support in their expression.

For example, the part of you that wants to feel harmony or meditate and be able to detach itself from the problems of the world, and the part of you that feels anger from the noise that comes from the street and from social injustices, are both necessary, as are all the others, in the process that you are trying to live through your experience.

Innerwork then is a useful practice we can engage with to help us prepare for our work in the world, and we help you with basic exercise and meditative templates.

Instead of trying to change our nature to adapt to our preconception of harmony and peace, we could search to find the purpose behind the events. Maybe it’s the seed of just what we need.
