We invite you on a collaborative and intimate journey of self discovery, using the Hakomi Method for spiritual unfolding. We are very fortunate to have Donna and Flint as our teachers for this journey. They have led retreats together for more than 20 years and masterfully hold space for self exploration and growth. Both were trusted by the method's creator, Ron Kurtz, to bring forth this work after his death as legacy holders of the Hakomi Method.
