The Hakomi Method combines the Eastern traditions of mindfulness and non-violence with a unique, highly effective Western methodology. Hakomi was developed and is applied primarily as an experiential psychotherapy, but is also designed to be integrated by other practitioners in a wide variety of contexts.

Hakomi is a body-centered, somatic approach. In a therapeutic context, the body's structures and habitual patterns become a powerful doorway to unconscious core material, including the hidden core beliefs which shape our lives, relationships, and self-images.

The Hakomi Method quickly accesses this core material, allowing it to emerge safely into consciousness. Once conscious, it can be re-evaluated, and where appropriate, powerfully transformed. New dimensions of awareness can be integrated, helping the individual to build a more satisfying and effective life.

Loving presence and the healing relationship are central to Hakomi. The process creates an exquisite level of sensitivity and attunement between practitioner and client, developing a deep sense of safety and connection which facilitaties the effectiveness of the work.

The Hakomi Institute was founded in Boulder, Colorado in 1981 by Ron Kurtz and a core group of trainers*. Since then, the Institute has expanded to offer Hakomi Trainings around the world. Workshops and trainings are currently held in the United States, Canada, Europe, Israel, Asia, South America, Australia, and New Zealand. The Institute also maintains a directory of Certified Hakomi Practitioners in the U.S. and abroad.

The Hakomi Institute is a professional member of the Association for Humanistic Psychology (AHP), the U.S. Association for Body Psychotherapy (USABP), and a Continuing Education Provider for the National Board of Certified Counselors (NBCC) and the National Association for Social Workers (NASW).
