This workshop is a daylong exploration, both experiential and theoretical, of what it means to live in a body. It will be offered four times in the course of 2026. It is mainly intended for psychoanalytic therapists, but is open to all individuals who are seriously engaged in their own healing process. The 2026 schedule is as follows:

In The Dubliners, James Joyce describes the “Painful Case” of Mr. Duffy who “lived a short distance from his body.”

Much of the time, many of us as healers ― and most of our patients ― are quite accustomed to life at such a spatiotemporal distance from our embodied experience.

Overtly or covertly, this disconnection of our lived-experience from the sensuality of our embodiment almost invariably has deleterious consequences.

The Institute for Rediscovering Psychoanalysis now offers a daylong workshop designed both to explore ― experientially and theoretically ― how, when and where, we become ungrounded, and review ways in which such disconnectedness can be healed.

Fee: R1,600 (Fee for repeat participants, registered students and psychoanalytic trainees: R1,400)

Participation is limited to 16 participants at the Johannesburg location; 18 participants in the Cape Town location. If you are interested, write as soon as possible to: Register@RediscoveringPsychoanalysis.org
