These group sessions are offered on an “accessible to all” basis, at a venue to be advised by Sophrosan (minimum 5 people) or in the form of a closed seminar, in the form of weekly sessions of one hour thirty minutes, or half-day sessions, according to the needs and constraints of the participants.

Closed seminars can be organized in a wide range of settings including offices, community groups, schools, maternity units, universities, and hospices.

AtelierThere are two options:

  • Whether the group wants to use Sophrology for a better well being, for general uses,
  • Whether the group requires to work on a specific topic.

If there is no specific theme, Laurence will use general techniques including “Dynamic Relaxation”: a mix of dynamic and static exercises, alternating sitting down and standing up. The group’s evolution will be guided and monitored throughout the year and is designed to develop one’s own abilities towards more harmony, serenity and inner peace. The duration of a session is one hour and thirty minutes.

If the workshop focuses on a particular theme such as stress management, a specific number of sessions (e.g. 10 sessions for stress management) will be held and determined in function of the outlined needs. Part of the session will be recorded for practice in between sessions. Easy to put into practice daily exercises will also be sent by email to the participants.

Examples of thematic workshops, which can be created and made available on request or on Laurence’s initiative, based on half day session or one hour per week:
