Bodynamic UK presents:

Attachment, Bonding, Connectedness, and Contact: A 3-day workshop with Ditte Marcher in Manchester, UK from June 2-4, 2023.

In this exceptional workshop, Ditte will explore the four relational principles, their meanings, the fundamental differences between them, and the common consequences of misunderstanding these differences. Some of the questions that will be discussed are:

• What is the difference between attaching or connecting to another person?
• How are relationships affected by seeking contact through attachment rather than connectedness?
• What kind of relationship develops if we only know how to get in contact with others without the ability for connectedness?
• How is bonding a fundamental development from attachment into connectedness?

The workshop will feature lectures, demos, group practices, and somatic awareness exercises, all utilizing Bodynamic tools to investigate and experience through the body. By expanding on these principles in working with your clients, you will increase their sense of safety and their ability to differentiate their experiences through the felt sense of their bodies, generating a balanced and constructive way of being in the world with more courage and less fear.
