FOR THE 1ST TIME IN THE UK:

COUPLES WORKSHOP USING PBSP

WITH AL PESSO

Venue: Lewes Sussex

Sunday March 30th, Monday 31st, and Tuesday April 1st

EARLY BOOKING DISCOUNT EXTENDED UNTIL 15 Feb

This workshop offers a rare opportunity to work with Al Pesso, who co-founded the Pesso Boyden System Psychomotor, a unique powerful mind-body therapy.

This extraordinary method of personal development can address many of the issues that a couple faces. Two structures (individual client sessions) are run simultaneously allowing each partner to explore and resolve their own issues whilst witnessing how it affects and relates to their partners'. There will be six 'double structures' run over the three days.

As a client of Al's (Cynthia Kaleita) wrote 'For the first time since we first laid eyes on each other more than 20 years ago, we are now communicating and experiencing one another on a level I thought only possible in a romance movie or a novel.'

Al has not run an open workshop in the UK for many years, and is currently not planning any others, so this is a unique situation, and one not to be missed - to do a profound and long lasting piece of work as a couple (if you book a couple structure place) - and to see a master therapist in action.

Numbers: are strictly limited and space will only be available on a first come first served basis. Please email Juliet inter.action@virgin.net or call 01291 638805

Attend as a couple with a pre-booked session: This includes pre-booking a 'couple structure' to work through some issue, and attending all three days. COSTS: Full cost is £920 couple (i.e. £460 per person for the three day course) including a structure in which the couple will participate together. With an early booking discount £820 per couple, for those who book and pay before 15/2/08.

There will be up to 5 people attending to play roles, who will not have structures. These places are already booked up.

Who should attend: The workshop is open to all. Couples could be in an intimate relationship, in a working relationship, or parents and children who wish to explore an issue together using the PBSP method. The observer/participants may be in a relationship or not, may be curious to learn more about couple issues, dynamics and the common factors in relationships. Counsellors and psychotherapists may also be curious to understand more about mind body systemic work, and see a master in action. Any therapist who works with couples will benefit from attending.

Albert Pesso co-founded Pesso Boyden System Psychomotor with his life partner, Diane Boyden-Pesso, in 1961. He has given numerous lectures on PBSP at universities, hospitals and clinics throughout the United States and Europe. Al conducts international training programs having long term programs in Norway, Denmark, Holland, Belgium, Switzerland, Germany, Czech Replublic, Portugal, USA and UK.

Albert Pesso is the author of "Movement in Psychotherapy", New York University Press, 1969 and "Experience in Action", New York University Press, 1973; co-editor with John Crandell of "Moving Psychotherapy: Theory and Applications of Pesso System/Psychomotor Therapy", Brookline Books, 1991; co-author, with Willy van Haver, of "Het Gekwetste Zelf" (The Wounded Self) Acco (Leuven, Belgium) 1990; co-author with Tilmann Moser of "Strukturen des Unbewussten" (Structures of the Unconscious) Klett-Cotta (Stuttgart, Germany), 1991; and the author of numerous articles on Pesso Boyden System Psychomotor psychotherapy.

Al and Diane, with the assistance of the rapidly expanding network of PBSP organisations and individuals, are developing systems and materials for safe-guarding and maintaining the essential principles and high standards of PBSP for future generations. At the age of 78 he is an inspiration, and is always developing new aspects to the system.

What Clinicians Say About PBSP: "Al Pesso is a superb therapist, one of the best in the country. He has an uncanny ability to observe and amplify body movements into deep areas of difficulty and work with these in ways that are powerfully life enhancing. Any therapist genuinely interested in exploring the deepest reaches of psychotherapy should have an experience with Al Joen Fagen, Ph.D., Graduate Psychology Department, Georgia State University.

In the unlikely event that bookings are low and there are spare spaces, we may open up the possibility of an individual structure (client session). Contact Juliet inter.action@virgin.net if you are interested - but we won't be able to confirm until 1 week before the event if either of these are available.

This event is being organised by Inter-action on behalf of PBSP UK
