April 19 - 20, 2024

Vom 17. bis 18. November wird Siegfried Essen, Experte und „Reformierer“ der Aufstellungsarbeit, auf Einladung des Zen Lab in Leipzig zu Gast sein!

​

Mit jahrzehntelanger Erfahrung und als Schüler von Zentatsu Richard Baker Roshi, widmet sich Siegfried Essen in seinen Seminaren einem besonderen Anliegen: dem Dialog mit sich selbst. Dabei steht die Verkörperung und die Übernahme von Verantwortung für den eigenen Organismus im Mittelpunkt. 

​

Das Seminar eignet sich für Anfänger*innen und Fortgeschrittene der Aufstellungsarbeit. Viele der erlernten Verkörperungsübungen können nach dem Seminar leicht im Alltag fortgesetzt werden.

​

Das Seminar findet an zwei Tagen, Sonntag 17. und Montag 18. statt. Die Teilnahme am Montag setzt die Teilnahme am Sonntag vorraus. Es ist möglich, nur am Sonntag teilzunehmen.
