Programs for Public Education
Curriculum for 2008-2009

Rimbe regularly provides public education on mind/body topics in Rockland County, New York.  These courses are designed for people who are completely new to the subjects, but may also be of interest to people who are familiar with mind/body topics.  Public education classes usually include some didactic teaching, but focus mainly on experiential learning. 

Body, Energy and Character 

Healers, parents, therapists, helpers of all kinds and curious others can benefit greatly from this basic exploration of character and how it forms in body. This series of five classes will offer teaching on the relationship of our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual development. It will teach the five character types developed and used by body psychologists as we study how they manifest daily in each one of us. We will learn to assess bodies, energy and character issues, as well as look at energetic and therapeutic interventions that are useful when working with with each  child, client, family member and self.

Finding the Self in Group Process 

This ongoing process group is offered to compliment the Body, Energy, Healing and Consciousness class as well as allow other interested individuals to experience group process. While personal therapy can be irreplaceable in personal growth and healing, there often comes a time when finding and revealing oneself in a safe group is essential.  Through these experiences our self-knoweldge and capacity for meaningful relationship grows. Led by Jeanne Denney, it will use Core Energetics Techniques (a body psychotherapy method) to allow people to deepen their personal explorations, as well as find emotional support in a safe group setting.

Other Classes recently offered:

Introduction to Energetic Healing 

Many people who have experienced Healing techniques or Energetic Bodywork are curious about the theory behind it and want to know how they can learn these skills themselves.  This class is offered as an introduction to Energetic Healing for people who would like to understand more, experience more, and have their first experiences with basic healing.  It will cover theories about human energy and energetic structures (such as charkas, auras and meridians), sensing and reading energy, grounding, containment, connecting to spirit, basic chelation skills and more.   Class will include recommended homework and practice between classes.  Reiki practitioners who would like more grounding in energetic theory are welcome. 

Stress, Emotions and Health for Parents

What do stress, emotions and health have to do with each other?  Well, as you may expect, a lot!   As busy parents we may often find that we run short of mentai, emotional, spiritual and physical resources for dealing with our children as well as the needs our partners and ourselves.  What are some ways that we can recharge and regain balance when the going gets rough?  Jeanne Denney will present a short program on the basics of the problem of stress and a few principles of how we can support ourselves through the most difficult times.

What is Core Energetics Therapy?…an introduction to using the Body in Psychotherapy 

In recent years there has been loads of research establishing the relationship between the body, neurology and psychology.  The importance of working with the body is gaining attention and momentum in psychotherapy.  Core Energetics is body-based therapy for growth, healing and evolution developed in the 60’s and 70’s by psychiatrist John Pierokos (student of Wilheim Reich).  Like many “body-psychotherapies” it works with the idea that our mind, body, emotions and spirit are not separate.  Whether we are in crisis or are finally prepared to change life patterns, Core Energetics accelerates the healing process for individuals, couples or groups. 

In this evening four Rockland County Core Energetics Therapists will give an overview of this exciting body of study and demonstrate how it works to support greater truth, empowerment, health and positive change  This introduction will be suitable for professionals and non-professionals alike. 

Exploring the Mysteries of End of Life

Many of us hold deep questions and fears about what may happen to us at our life’s end and may fear exposure to the experience with others in their dying.   Hospice workers and medical workers confront the realities of other people’s deaths daily.  However, even if you have never been with someone in the last stages of life, you may have a feeling that there is something to be learned from being with this process. 

Are there ways that we can peek into this experience, expanding our ability to be present with dying, receiving the gifts of death for the enrichment of our current lives and future death?  Jeanne Denney will present her research and experience on consciousness at end of life and lead participants through exercises to help us become more familiar and comfortable with the terrain. 

This program is suitable for the General Public or for people with experience as caregivers to the dying.

Dancing the Pulsations of Life, Death, Grief and Joy  

Often we think of life and death as opposites, and death as the enemy of life.  We feel bereft when we loose what we love and do not know how to move between attachment and loss.  In a word, we resist claiming our life’s pulsation.  In fact, exploring death enriches life greatly, a well-lived life enriches dying, and true joy holds grief and loss within it. 

In this workshop we will explore these contradictions and the energetic pulsations of the apparent opposites.  We will learn about the energies of death and birth, attachment and bereavement, and the role the human heart appears to play in it all.  This workshop will include movement and experiential work as we explore what it may mean to more fully claim life in the largest sense.

Suitable for anyone wanting a deeper understanding of life, death and bereavement. 

On-Going Groups:

Finding the Self in Group Process

While personal therapy is often irreplaceable in personal growth and healing, there often comes a time when finding and revealing oneself with in a safe group is essential.  Group process work can provide resources and support for facing some of life's most difficult issues while expanding our ability to practice honesty in intimate relationship.  As a result, our capacity for having safety and intimacy with others grows over time.  This process group will be based on the principles of Core Energetic Therapy (a process-oriented body psychotherapy).  Participants will be led by a group leader.  Join this group prepared to move your body, make noise and share with others. Wear loose clothing.

Exploring the Emotions of Mothering

Whether you work or stay at home, nearly everyone who has mothered a child knows that this job can be one of the most demanding of our lives. While it is also rewarding, it can elicit extreme emotions and deep feeling states that we often try to handle alone. Typically we carry idealized images of what we should be for our children and partners and find it difficult to accept our limitations or feel the reality of our own deeper feelings. As a result, we can become alienated from ourselves, our source and each other.

This mother's-only support and process group will explore ways to help identify emotional truths and express them with others, while opening and moving energy we sorely need to return energized to this work of love. The group will include teaching about the physical and energetic issues of mothering children, and ways to survive on the toughest days.

Join this group prepared to move your body, make noise and share with others. Wear loose clothing
