THE DEVELOPMENT OF SENSORY TRAINING AT OWHEROA FALLS

---

At the heart of all achievement and meaning, motivation and passion, life and death, creativity and struggle lie two questions that are difficult to answer. Who am I? Am I loved? Sensory Training programs at Owheroa Falls secures a personal foundation so the answers to those big questions are taken care of. It gives an inner compass to use as a guide day by day for the many other questions that connect to them such as why can’t I make decisions? Why cant I lose weight? Why am I not motivated to do the things I want to do? Why can’t I find love?

Sensory Training was also created as a response to the increasing problem of ‘nature blindness’. Reliance on technology, combined with an emphasis on our intellectual and emotional wellbeing means our culture has become increasingly blind to the value of our senses. The programs engage the senses, are practical, easy to apply, and enjoyable. The key discovery Sensory Training programs have to offer is that at our core we all have a dynamic life code that is held in our senses. Knowing our own code and finding our fit gives us immediate identity, stability, wellness, and this also increases our productivity.

You love who you are, you love your work, you love the ones you are in a relationship with.

THE STORY BEHIND SENSORY TRAINING

The concept is that we all have a unique ‘life code’ and our life is a continual discovery process of unlocking it’s meaning and strength, in the ‘matrix’ of all that we encounter. This incredible discovery of a personal life code has been appreciated by thousands of people, hundreds of organisations worldwide.

Cilla’s developed Sensory Training programs in Australia where she was working as a counselor and business coach. She moved to New Zealand in 2005 from where she continued to improve the original Life Code Matrix model and train others, including social workers, teachers, HR Managers, coaches and counselors. Recognition of our need to find identity through the senses has been warmly embraced by a range of individuals and groups, representing a cross-section of society; including youth at risk, prisoners, those seeking to achieve career and personal goals, church groups, and senior executives of large international corporations.

Participants report the programs to be practical, inspiring, long lasting, effective and positive.

Our senses help us find ourselves.

Sensory Training programs evolved as a result of research, experience, creative exploration and inspiration as Cilla worked with a wide range of people in her practice. Many of the techniques used in the program are original. The unique methods Cilla used as she developed the program are woven into concepts astutely adapted and interpreted from other philosophers, therapists, body work practitioners, and poets.

Cilla developed her programs in an environment developed deeply connected to all the senses. She lives and works at Owheroa Falls closely connected to nature. Living in close proximity are Muscovy ducks and 4 Arapawa sheep, and her dog. Her close relationship with her animals, has had an influence on her daily insights and contributed to the ongoing developments of sensory understanding.

Sensory getaway – stunning location away from the city

Sensory Training programs are held at ‘Owheroa Waterfalls’ Waikino, in Southern Coromandel. If driving, 90 minutes south from Auckland city central, and about an hour from Hamilton and Tauranga.

Sensory Training programs are not positive psychology or optimistic thinking.

There is no effort involved in being ourselves. When we shift so we are being and living in alignment with what is strong and true for ourselves, there is a resultant shift in alignment that occurs in relationship with the people around us. Our validation for being who we are, and for our life, comes from within, not from external sources.

True sensory fitness comes from inside us, not the outside in.
