An experiential Masterclass by Kris Zwemmer & Mirjam Maëla

Why do we bother so much about uneasiness? Why do we fight it instead of working with it? How can we be with discomfort without being overrun by the feelings?

In this Masterclass we explore how we can relate to discomfort and unease in a different way.

Why this Masterclass?

As humans we try to control our lives in order to prevent ourselves from being in pain, discomfort and unease. If discomfort arises, we don’t listen to its message, but we try to get rid of it as soon as possible. 

If we have a headache, we take an aspirin. If we are afraid or depressed, we seek distraction. If we feel restless or stressed, we work even harder. 

Why do we bother so much about uneasiness? Why do we fight it instead of working with it? How can we be with discomfort without being overrun by the feelings?

We all know that most of the time you can’t make it disappear. You can suppress difficult feelings for a while, but in the long run they will resurface.

Fighting it causes even more tension and suffering, while embracing it and relaxing in it takes out the needle - maybe the sensations are still present, but they will lose their overwhelming and constricting aspects.

What are we going to do?

From an early stage in life we were taught to get rid of discomfort. In this Masterclass we explore how we can relate to it in a different way.

We will use several ancient and proven techniques for this exploration. This Masterclass provides an experiential opportunity to be with uneasy thoughts and feelings. We will not dive in the underlying theory too much. You will experience your resistance and your ability to adjust and relax mainly on a physical and energetic level.

During this seminar we’ll dive in the concept of coaching an individual through a holistic approach. We’ll discuss basic principles on how to deal with a human as a whole. In addition we’ll go through multiple practicals to explore and experience the concepts. We’ll go through the Arch concept, Free Energy principle and (Dis)comfort circle. The aim is to explore and experience and how to learn and apply them in daily life.

HUMAN SURRENDER | BEING WITH DISCOMFORT AND UNEASE

Content

As humans we try to control our lives in order to prevent ourselves from being in pain, discomfort and unease. If discomfort arises, we don’t listen to its message, but we try to get rid of it as soon as possible. 

If we have a headache, we take an aspirin. If we are afraid or depressed, we seek distraction. If we feel restless or stressed, we work even harder. 

Why do we bother so much about uneasiness? Why do we fight it instead of finding comfort in the discomfort?

We will use several ancient and proven techniques for this exploration. This Masterclass provides an experiential opportunity to be with uneasy thoughts and feelings. We will not dive in the underlying theory too much. You will experience your resistance and your ability to adjust and relax mainly on a physical and energetic level.We’ll be using the following tools, during the masterclass: cold exposure, pain within the body, uncontrolled energy and emotions.

Outcome

• You will learn how to be with challenges in life which will contribute to building resilience and the ability for self management

• You will find deep confidence in letting go of control; being more at ease with life whatever happens. Your life will express more fullness and freedom 

• By accepting your present feelings you create space for the intrinsic message to reveal itself. Only then it’s possible to take care of the underlying need

• You will learn how to coach your clients in a more effective manner. Most of the time your clients are straining themselves to get rid of the unpleasant situation they are in. Trying to change might become a new stressor. As a professional you can guide your clients towards relaxing and embracing their current situation, creating an environment in which deeper psychological patterning can be explored and long lasting behavioral change can take place.

Introduction of Cold water exposure and breathwork. We’ll dive into your physiology and experience the cold. We do so in combination with breathwork to prepare yourself for facing the cold exposure.
