"In 2001, I had the good fortune to participate in a seminar on the Inner Judge held by Avikal. During that weekend, a new sound, from somewhere within me was released. A desire to explore what had happened began to move and the taste of a new truth appeared from the depths of the “old” me. Since then, I’ve continued on this path and this has brought me, over the years, an ever increasing harmony with myself and the world around me. At the same time, I feel I am always at the beginning of something new in this art of exploring the vastness of my inner world."

Emotional Intelligence, Transformation through Movement

Understand how conditioning shaped your emotional body and learn the possibility of expressing emotions through movement and dance
What is the workshop about?
- Who is it for: Everyone
The transforming power in your own body, when understood and practiced, can change anything life brings from a suffering into a gift of grace. Emotions and body reactions are not your enemies, they are teachers. When you learn the wisdom of the body, the heart and the nervous system, you can grow and change with every situation that appears in life.
You will have a chance to understand the messages you received in childhood about your emotions: how they impacted you at the time and how they come up in your life now. You will learn how to continue healing them in your adult life through accepting and owning them rather than blaming others. This way you can receive the gift that each emotional experience brings.
The body remembers and the body knows. When you can listen, it becomes your healer. When you let the body express feelings through dance, you open to the depth and beauty of life as it is. Something new happens. Life becomes a mystery to be lived, rather than a problem to be solved.
Through this inquiry and the heart’s acceptance we learn to be truthful with ourselves, making space for our needs and for new, more nourishing ways of being with people in all kinds of relationships. We cannot “do” change. But we can create the space within for alchemy to happen.
Elements of this alchemy:
Acceptance: the heart center can embrace what is with compassion – even life’s opposites. The mind cannot do that.
Aliveness: the intensity and fire of being fully alive in everything such as sadness, anger, love, tenderness, relaxation….when expressed through dance it moves energy and brings joy.
Meditation: when we have lived something totally, it is easier to watch. When we can bring witnessing and silence to anything, integration happens.
The power of the heart’s acceptance and presence expands your capacity to receive life. It grows each time you welcome and feel rather than reject and fight with what is. This resilience helps you in today’s unpredictable world, and in your personal life.
We will also look at emotional intelligence and trauma from the perspective of Somatic Experiencing, one of today’s emerging body-based trauma therapies. You will learn some of its science and keys, and how these relate to inner alchemy. If you work with people, it increases your ability to hold someone as they are, with love. This is the backbone of being an effective therapist.
Through this workshop you will
- Learn keys to heal past trauma and present difficulties by listening to the wisdom of the body
- Receive the essential gifts and insights each emotion brings and increase your resilience and inner space to feel pain, love and joy
- Understand and practice the elements of inner alchemy and learn how to transform negative emotions and recurring reactivity

- Increase your aliveness and enjoyment in all areas of life
- Deepen your meditation and ability to be present to whatever is, in yourself and others

What participants say
"Avikal Costantino was my teacher in a 3-year Essence training in Denmark. He turned out to be the exact 'right' teacher for me, with his provoking, and at the same time trusting-the-process and staying-one-step-behind-the-shoulder attitude. I love his clarity and find his teachings and coaching to have a perfect blend of new insights, science-based theory, and experience. With heart-warming humour, he led me to the edges of my quite stubborn conditioning, offered me (and still does to this day) a wider view, and a loving invitation beyond its boundaries. I feel deeply grateful for my association with Avikal and his work. "
