The breakdown
 

The Creative Path™

 

Over the past 30 years, Helena has developed a system which integrates  your creative mind and your creative body in relation to your relationships, your colleagues, the natural world and how the creative source moves people to become innovative. This work is a daily practice that invites you through guided practices to begin to notice more of what's around you through what you see, hear and touch. Landing in this quality of presence acts as the foundation for greater self awareness and consciousness. Giving you the tools to be able to observe with practice your own thoughts, sensations, emotions, imagination so that you can include it as a way of being alive in the moment to your life.

The work fosters a depth of relational intelligence and communication that in time invites more intimacy and trust in your relationships, your teams, your communitites, your organisations. This practice gives you a greater sense of how to acknowledge difference within groups, giving permission for paradox, opposition and conflict to be welcomed in group dynamics as something that acts as a rich moment of growth for the collective. 

 

What is Organic Intelligence®  

Organic Intelligence (OI) is a unique theory and clinical practice of human empowerment, resiliency, and compassion to resolve the effects of stress and anxiety. 

This work helps you turn nervous energy and anxiety into a source of empowerment and grounded self expression.

The Organic Intelligence® (OI) clinical protocol suggests that, from a systems perspective, what’s wrong with therapy is the focus on what’s wrong — including the focus on trauma.

Organic Intelligence brings a necessary shift in perspective from pathology and trauma to the proven methods drawn from the wisdom of mindfulness and the science of self-organization. OI teaches how healing happens from the nervous system up and makes it possible to imagine freedom from suffering. Freedom from suffering becomes freedom for living an authentic, vibrant life in the here-and-now.

OI teaches coaches how to observe relevant client behaviors according to a very clear map. This mapping allows coaches to understand the nervous system state, and reveals what kind of intervention is most likely to support natural systemic reorganization.

Rather than providing insight per se, Organic Intelligence aims to shepherd observable physio-emotional states according to a protocol which aligns with subtle, but naturally occurring organismic trends toward increased coherence — the rhythm of an integrative biology. We employ a ‘shaping’ paradigm of positive reinforcement — a true paradigm shift in trauma therapy.

Organic Intelligence was developed by Steve Hoskinson, MA, MAT, who has trained thousands of practitioners and mentored trauma resolution instructors in North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.

 

What is Neurosystemics 

NeuroSystemics is a mindfulness-based and relational method for people's personal and collective development towards greater levels of well-being, resilience, and empowerment in dealing with the challenges of daily life (work, relationships, community, culture). So that we can begin to meet and master life's challenges, which deepens our experience of meaning, aliveness and belonging.

 

How does Neurosystemics work? 

 

Neuro = nervous system (which organizes the way we process information and experiences) 

Systems = the many layers of systems (relational, cultural, societal, ecological) that we live within  

NeuroSystemics session = we have a free and unstructured conversation in which we'll talk about whatever is at the foreground of your life's unfolding that day (personally or as a group).  As a Neurosystemics practictioner, I will help you explore your here-and-now experience that goes along with the content of our conversation. As we'll begin to explore and expand on -- often unnoticed -- signals that are coming from your body and mind, we find that when these signals are noticed and nurtured by our shared attention, they will begin to bring new insights and resources for meeting and mastering your challenges and goals in life.

 

 

What's different about the approach  

  • Working with the whole nervous system (MOSAIC) instead of one channel (like CBT, or emotion-focused, or hypnotherapy with imagery, etc.)
  • A positive reinforcement and non-pathologizing framework (looking for signs of health and healing instead of disease and disorder)
  • Going beyond Resiliency (phase 2) towards Prosilience / Coherence (phase 3). Prosilience (and coherence) mean our capacity to grow in many ways. This happens by meeting and mastering life's challenges. We therefore hold the possibility of living a full life, with on-going exploration of our human experience and an ever-increasing curiosity that fuels learning, growth and (spiritual) development.
  • Leaving behind the excessive reductionism and individualism of traditional therapy. We rather include all systems that we (and our clients) live in and engage with (i.e. Sense, Self, Social, Societal, Soil, Stars, what have you). To do that we offer different practices (self-regulation, 1on1, circles, forums)
  • We are utilizing the importance of the healing relationship and actively engaging as therapist/facilitator as compared to ‘doing a protocol’.

 

 

I find myself with an incredibly powerful support that is crucial in my life in these difficult times. Helena's combination of cutting edge techniques allows you to feel strongly grounded, open-minded and supported at the same time. I am always amazed at the immediate and effective way you can achieve results, which otherwise would take years to obtain, and only in a very partial way, with more traditional techniques.

Dr. Alberta Congeduti

I would recommend to anyone: from a person who only wants to lead their own art, their own garden, their own daily intentions to people who actively lead big teams in their job and want to find a compassionate tool to connect and establish work relationships made of trust and deeper understanding. This course guides you to embody your own leadership form and cultivate it. If you'd like to become an artist of compassionate leadership, this course is exactly what you should try, and Helena is exactly who you're looking for. You will end this journey feeling liberated, elevated and empowered, as an individual but also as part of a bigger picture.

Working with Helena has been transformative in my relationships with my colleagues, my patients and within my personal life. I have learned many ways of going much deeper into awareness of my own body and my environment which has been mind blowing in allowing me to move much quicker into relaxation and to be present. I feel more resilient in the management of the stresses of working in a chaotic healthcare system. I would highly recommend anyone to work with Helena. You'll gain an insight of yourself and skills to be resilient for life.

I found the course to be highly instructive, invigorating and inspirational. The holistic
content and approach of the course was perfectly tailored for online delivery allowing me to thrive
from the comfort of my own home. I highly recommend it, as the skills I refined and integrated are equally applicable for my acting, my work in a corporate environment and for my life in general.

MY LAST PIECE OF ADVICE

Be gentle, go gently and feel where you belong

Some days are gentle days. Days to slip into your own silence and wash away all the shame, misunderstandings, aches and come home to who you are. Offering a gentle nest to lick your wounds, bathe your heart in nothingness, wrap your soul in a blanket, sit your tired body by the fire and watch the flames rise and the embers glow. Inviting birdsong to soothe what lies much deeper than explanation and reason in the landscape of the unknown in you.
