Training for Life 2024

Training for Life is a program spread over 18 months consisting of twelve week-long courses. The training is offered each year and is given in English.

Training for Life is a transformative process that allows you to take a look at your life from different angles. As the process deepens acceptance, understanding, humility and love for life tend to grow stronger. The time between courses allows the insights gained to sink in and be integrated into every day life.

Our experience is that the group dynamic plays an important part in the process, it is very powerful when people go through such a deep and long training together. Participation requires dedication and commitment to yourself and the group.

In order to participate in training for life we require that you have already participated in Door Opener 1 or similar.

Groups

Week 1 Starting up the process

During these days we will build up an atmosphere of trust and acceptance in the group and we will get to know ourselves and each other on a deeper level. We will explore our longing and what brought us to this training. Through movement exercises, sharing, self-inquiry, voice dialogue, and meditation techniques we will create the foundation for this inner journey, and start to explore and understand the mechanics of the mind and the heart. Listening to the voice of our hearts and daring to follow it is the greatest gift we can give ourselves in life.

Week 2 Bodylove

What does it mean to love your body? In our culture importance is given to outer beauty, youth and ability in sports. We may attempt to love our bodies by perfecting them through healthy diet and exercise, or we may neglect them. But as long as we are not home deep inside, whatever techniques we try will not take root. Our bodies are carrying too many rejected, frozen feelings that restrict our breathing and shrink our vital life force. We have lost the ability to listen to internal messages. Bodylove is a week to rediscover your body's more instinctive rhythms. Through breathing, movement, free dancing and meditation, deep unconscious tensions will be released. In this way you can discover your more authentic needs and have the choice to nourish them.

Week 3 Primal Healing

Primal Healing is an intense group process to heal the wounds of our childhood. Disappointment and emotional hurt from the early stages have caused us to develop survival strategies and behaviour patterns which contract our life energy. This makes it difficult to have a healthy relationship to ourselves and a nourishing, loving contact with others. Whatever age we are, our child is still within us and needs to be accepted and loved in order for us to be creative and alive. In primal healing we process our way through the different stages of our childhood. Through regression, deep breathing, energy work and emotional release we will move to the roots of the pain. Fear, anger, sadness, guilt, shame, unworthiness - all these feelings will be allowed to be expressed, released and understood. Deep relaxation and a new thirst in one’s own inner world will open for a beautiful healing process.

Week 4 Family Constellation

Family Constellation Work reveals hidden family patterns that may be holding us back in life. We are bound to our family systems by a deep need to belong; a child will do anything for the love of a parent. The bond to our parents and to our family system begins even before birth, we are born into a family that goes back generations. Often these unconscious patterns holds us back and prevents us from choosing what fulfills us in life and from moving forward and living a life we love. In this group we will look deeper into the three principles of love - belonging, balance and order and to the hidden patterns of the family. Each principle will be explained and experienced and the participants of the group will have the opportunity to look deeper into their own family structure. To move consciously through life has tremendous value and doing this allows us to access an amazing strength and a deep relaxation.

Week 5 Creating the Foundation of Love

Learning to love is a process of learning to grow in trust. Mistrust has its roots in old attitudes toward ourselves, others and the world. We carry memories and are conditioned by what went wrong in the past. As a result, we have deep patterns of fear, self doubt, inferiority/superiority feelings and mistrust. This causes us to sabotage our loving relationships with old habits of blaming, reacting, demanding, isolating, closing down or being dishonest. Out of our fears and mistrust we feel misunderstood, rejected and lose ourselves. This week we will look into how this works. We will be learning a new way of seeing ourselves and of relating. This way of conscious relating guides us out of our hiding places and encourages us to open and to rebuild trust both in ourselves and in others.

Week 7 Breathing in Love

Love is our inner breath and healing. Our ability for love and well-being is ultimately connected to a deep and relaxed breathing. Breathing is the bridge between body, mind, heart and being. Breath therapy helps to release our physical and emotional tensions. We become aware of the working of our mind, open our feeling heart and learn to trust the spirit of life again. With the aliveness of our breath we awaken our natural, intrinsic, gift for love, joy, health and celebration. We learn to "breathe" beyond old limiting concepts of love. The diamond of breath allows us to grow into the three dimensions of love - self-love, passion and compassion.

Week 8 Love, Sex and Prayer

The longing for sex has been distorted and repressed by societies and religions for centuries. This section deals with our early sexual experiences and the climate around them. It helps us to become more aware of our inhibitions, to see and accept our bodies, our sensuality and psychology. This process is specifically supported by Turiya’s understanding of trauma work. In an atmosphere of respect and gentleness, everybody has the possibility to look at and to work with their fears and traumas, and at their own pace, enter into their individual healing process. This work is oriented around learning to open up the heart and to finding trust again. There, we can meet another and freely be able to share our needs and receive and give from a healthy place.

Week 10 To Be or Not To Be

To be strongly connected with your inner presence - the so-called 'witness' - holds the key to your quality of life. It creates a joy that is not dependent on the outer circumstances - your work, your leisure, your partners, your family. It is a source of deep nourishment and trust, that no situation or person can take away from you or give to you. We spend a lot of time and energy wishing for things to change, in both our inner and outer worlds. If our efforts work out we may be happy for a little while... until the next obstacle comes along. In these five days you can learn an entirely new and different way of mastering this ancient puzzle... simply being present and witnessing. You will learn how to include presence in the life you are already living - this in itself offers the biggest chance for change.

Week 11 Practicing Trust

During these days the focus will be on how you can apply and integrate what you have learned so far during Training for Life. We will look at what may still stand between you living your full potential and how you practically can create space for yourself in your everyday life. How you can take responsibility for living the life you want with greater awareness and inner freedom. We will also look at the judgements and self-critical thoughts that often sabotage our intentions.
