Marieke - Walking in your shoes
WORKSHOP// As a troubleshooter within companies, having worked with various cultures and people on behaviors and inner convictions, Marieke begins to see and experience that everyone has everything within. We can receive endless readings or healings if we want. Someone or something else to tell us who we are and who we've been. But only when we actively let that inner voice that whispers in our hearts speak, we begin our true transformation, our true memory of our soul.
And in that journey of using different methods for holding space for this inner voice, she fell in love with Walking In Your Shoes. A Body/Mind method for gaining clarity: it makes the invisible visible and provides information about undercurrents, patterns, unconscious entanglements, resources and solutions. It helps promote positive change and growth. In terms of relationships, teams, company, projects, goals, illness, etc.
Walking In Your Shoes, developed by John F. Cogswell (clinical psychologist in LA) and Joseph Culp (actor/director), is also known as the alternative to (Family) Constellation Work.
From our own experience we know that the methods WIYS and Constellations can be used wonderfully next to each other or in combination. We use WIYS' body-oriented approach in therapy, coaching and workshops, as well as in advising and guiding companies, teams and projects.
Walking-In-Your-Shoes is a transformational process. It is a method which uses our natural gifts for transcendence and empathy to deeply relate to another being. We often refer to it as “spontaneous empathy”. The technique is simple yet profound: In a supportive group setting, or with a facilitator, one states the intention to be another person and begins to move in the space, refraining from imitations or cognitive guesswork, and tunes into the energies and feelings of the body. During the Walking, one experiences a shift of awareness and spontaneously manifests behavior aspects, emotional/psychological states and life-themes of the person they are Walking. The information manifested has been found to have a high degree of accuracy, whether the Walker has knowledge of the person or not.
People who have Walked frequently report that they have never felt so understood and accepted. Those who Walk experience a sense of liberation by temporarily "stepping out" of their often-limiting self-concept. You gain years of life experience within seconds.
In addition to her work in the corporate business as a trainer and 1 on 1 coach, Marieke has now turned into a multi-entrepreneur: she owns a campsite in Andijk and builds tiny houses.
