Workshops and Group Processes
Workshops and group processes at Centrum Bhavana are a space for experience, bodywork, meditation practice, deep emotional work and meeting another person.
The group can become an important healing factor – offering the possibility of mirroring, feedback and corrective experiences that support each person’s individual process.
Group work
The group is a powerful force that allows corrective experiences to take place. It acts as a mirror for each individual process – each person can find many reflections of themselves in the experience of other participants.
Feedback, the presence of the group and the possibility of being seen can become an important catalyst for healing and deepening self-awareness.
For whom
Workshops and group processes are for people who want to give themselves more time and space for emotional experience, bodywork, meditation and contact with what appears in relationship with others.
If you are looking to deepen your emotional experience in contact with yourself and another person.
If you feel that a given topic requires not only understanding, but also experiencing and gradual integration.
If you are interested in experiential work with the body, movement, breath, grounding and meditation.
If you want to see how your schemas, reactions and defensive strategies reveal themselves in contact with others.
If you are looking for a space where you can be seen in your vulnerability.
If you want to experience how the genuine presence of others, mirroring and sharing emotions can support the building of trust and change within you.
Form of work
Each of our workshops combines deep emotional work, psychoeducation, meditation and mindfulness practices, bodywork and movement, experiential exercises and sharing in the group.
A workshop cycle gives an opportunity to deepen the experience, build trust and focus on those parts within us that need more time and a sense of safety in order to open.
We do not work through conversation alone. What matters is what appears in real experience – in emotions, the body, breath, movement and contact with the group.
We create conditions for work in an atmosphere of mindfulness, respect for boundaries and each person’s individual pace.
The group becomes a space of meeting – with yourself, with another person and with what may previously have been cut off, unexpressed or unseen.
The group as a healing factor
Many individual processes take place in a group, and they affect every participant. People feel moved and often recognise themselves in what others share.
This experience can bring greater awareness, clarity of mind, but also more humanity and compassion toward oneself and others. Sharing the depth of one’s own experience can strengthen trust, intimacy and a sense of community.
After the workshop experience
Each workshop is a different kind of meeting – with yourself, the body, emotions and the group. These testimonials show how participants experienced the process, the atmosphere of safety and the possibility of deeper contact with themselves.
Workshop and cycle
A workshop usually focuses on one topic and takes place within a defined time. Even during a single workshop, a group process can begin – through contact, presence, sharing and the experience of working in a group.
However, if you decide to participate in a workshop cycle at Centrum Bhavana, the group process can become more in-depth. It offers the possibility of regularly returning to important topics, observing changes and working with what appears between meetings.
This is a good form if you want to touch on a specific topic, experience a selected practice or check whether a given form of work is right for you.
This is a more in-depth form of work that gives more time for building trust, contact with the group and the gradual opening of the parts that need safety.

How to begin?
If you do not know which form would be right for you, you can write to us a few sentences about what you are looking for. We will help you check whether a single workshop, a group process or another form of work would be better.
In some cases, before joining group work, we may suggest a short consultation in order to care for safety and choose the right form of work.
