Sensory Training Workshops:
The Sensory Training programs are based on a simple truth – we are all valuable, we are all unique and we all have strength. They empower participants to act and live from the best of who they are. They bring together unknown truth about our senses, and turns our everyday enjoyment into powerful, practical strength. Sensory training makes our senses consciously useful, and gives our understanding of our own amazing strength a context to expand in.
Our senses are a powerful inner strength, and connected to our minds, emotions and everything we do in our life and work give us so much more. Therefore it is vital we understand the role they play. Our senses can increase our enjoyment of life, and our wellness. We can be empowered to be true to ourselves in a new way. Sensory intelligence is available to everyone, if we have the opportunity to learn how to ‘get fit’ with it. Otherwise, our senses stay dormant within us like an unused muscle.
