“We need to wrap our enemy in our heart”

O. Sensei Ueshiba

The Power of Embodied Compassion

Teaching method

This workshop is experiential and the learning happens directly through your body. This makes understanding immediate and the outcome spectacular.

Corky Quakenbush teachings use somatic intelligence (the experience of self through the unification of body and spirit).

Simple movements done in pairs allow you to feel what’s happening with you in conflict situations you encounter in your daily life.

These movements are inspired by the practice of Aikido, which anyone can do.

Role-play allows you to adapt the exercises to situations current in your daily life, particularly professional.

‘Who is this workshop for?’

The workshop is for everyone, particularly those who want to develop an embodied and respectful leadership and who count kindness as a guiding principle but know how much of a distance there can be between what we say and what we are.

It’s not necessary to practice Aikido, although those who do will gain complementary benefits, which will enrich and transform their practice.
