Integration and
wholeness – getting in touch with your core
presence.
Many of us have been cut off from the wisdom
traditions of our own culture and therefore
from ancient sources of healing, guidance
and meaning. With Alimá we have the
opportunity to tap into these sources that
have always been available across cultures.
Transformation and integration emerge from
listening to your story; helping you access
intuition; dream and energy work; exploring
your gifts and helping you develop a
practice of integration. Find the
connections between your story and the
ancient stories and wisdom that connect you
to your own inner wisdom, growth and healing.
Alimá
provides guidance and support for
transformative work as well as witnessing
and accompanying you on your healing
journey. It is not a medical practice. There
is much wisdom in finding the appropriate
kind of resources to match what you need. If
you are being treated with conventional
medicine, traditional forms of healing, or
non-allopathic medical systems Alimá can
help support this other work. Some health
issues might be dealt with through Alimá and
not require other forms of treatment. Actual
experience can indicate if this is advisable
in any individual case. Alimá does not
provide magic, cure-all pills, although
people have made remarkable recoveries in
the past with this work as with other forms
of healing.
Playspaces
Being the cultural and social beings that we
are it is truly astounding that we
concentrate on individual responses to life
in ways that tend to push or deny our social
being. Playspaces combine the depth of both
the individual journey and group
intelligence. As we work in a group setting
the individual gets a chance to access the
wisdom of a group culture created
specifically for the purpose of
transformational work. At the same time, the
playspaces give us an opportunity to deepen
our knowledge of our own unique gifts and
resources.
Individual
healing and transformative work
We start with listening to your story,
reading your energies and being with you in
witness of where you are at right now. We
will then work with your “body radar” to
hone in on what is most calling for
attention. Our main work is in being a still
witness and then responding to what you bring.
Our work then moves between dream telling,
telling your story, working with your
energy, emotions and your very own gifts
that you always carry in your own unique
way. We will work with the resources that
you have.
Group work
Groups are just as alive as individuals.
They get born, grow, mature, die. The have
their own intelligence, their history, their
sensitivities, character, good days, bad
days. Group intelligence guides all
transformation work we do. From communal
dreaming to visioning sessions, we can
access the deep resources of the group and
move through the cycles of transformation
normal to each group. |

Alimá is word in Guene, a language spoken by
enslaved Africans up to the 19th century in
the Caribbean island of Curaçao, with some
words and constructions surviving into the
20th century.
Alimá was used to indicate friendship and a
tight bond between males. In rescuing this
word we are also recognizing that this bond
is wider, reaching across so many artificial
boundaries of gender, age, ethnicity,
nationality, species, life form.
We are all
related: humans, other animals, plants,
minerals, elements of nature: Alimá.
