Join us for a free and engaging demonstration and interactive Q&A exploring the core principles of the Hakomi Method. This session offers a live look at how mindfulness, somatic awareness, and nonviolence come together in Hakomi work, with real-time examples from certified trainers. You’ll gain insight into what Hakomi training looks like in practice, ask questions about the method and training pathway, and get a felt sense of how this powerful, experiential approach supports deep therapeutic change. Ideal for therapists, social workers, coaches, and anyone curious about mindful, body-centered psychotherapy.
During the Demo and Q&A, we’ll cover:
Hakomi is renowned for its brilliance in working gently and effectively with core beliefs, attachment patterns, and emotional wounds through present-moment, body-based inquiry. What makes Hakomi unique is its integration of mindfulness as a therapeutic tool, its respect for the organic wisdom of the body, and its non-pathologizing, compassionate stance. Therapists love Hakomi for its depth and elegance, its clear structure paired with deep attunement, and its ability to create meaningful, lasting change without force or retraumatization. The method supports both client healing and therapist sustainability, offering a way of working that is precise, humane, and deeply nourishing to practice.

Hakomi Comprehensive Training is usually 60 training days (325 contact hours), and is our primary format for teaching the complete Hakomi Method. Students may enroll in the entire two-year training, or in many locations enroll first in Year One and continue into Year Two. These trainings are designed for professionals and graduate students in psychotherapy, counseling, and social work; and also open to certain individuals working in related fields (e.g. coaching, acupuncture, and other healing fields), or transitioning into the field of counseling and psychotherapy. This is also the primary training for those seeking certification in the Hakomi Method.
In the U.S., completion of at least 12 hours of an Introduction workshop(s) is the required prerequisite for applying to Hakomi Comprehensive & Professional Skills Training. Additional prerequisites for a specific training (if any) will be stated in the training description. If you are interested in applying for training, we highly recommend attending a workshop in the same region/with the same team you will be applying for. Training with the team closest to where you live also gives you an opportunity to connect with other Hakomi students and practitioners in your community.
