Observe the Observer
To encounter myself is to meet what has always been here as if it was new, unmasked, waiting to be seen, underneath all that is shown.
It means turning toward my own presence with curiosity, awakening my senses, my feelings, my mind, and my soul. It means attuning to the All that lives within me.
It is the act of allowing myself to be known, not only by others, but ultimately, by me, and to stand before myself without defense or disguise.
In this meeting, I become both the seeker and the found, the observer and the observed. Sometimes I can only sense a small piece of myself. Other times I touch something vast and whole.
Each honest encounter with myself deepens my becoming. The fuller the meeting, the richer I grow, for to know myself is to rediscover the infinite environment of being eternally reborn.
POSES Ethos
POSES, Program of Self-Encounters, is a guided journey into self-inquiry, a meeting point between awareness and embodiment. By combining pure simplicity and deep insight, POSES transforms the act of awareness into an expressive art form, and cultivates presence into a purposeful way of being.
Conceived by Brazilian somatic researcher Renata Abbade, POSES is the culmination of decades immersed in the transformative realms of psychosomatic disciplines. Drawing upon the ancient wisdom of Do-In, the insights of Jungian psychoanalytical theory, and innovative somatic methodologies such as Global Posture Reeducation (RPG® Method), Alexander Technique, Feldenkrais Method®, and Body-Mind Centering®, this program transcends conventional self-improvement practices.
Over the years POSES has evolved into a dynamic, living art, a seamless synthesis of keen observation, intentional movement, and profound reflection. Each session invites you into a direct dialogue with your mental, emotional, physical and spiritual aspects. POSES provides an intentional opportunity for introspection. A time and space to meet your self, to listen, connect, and bring these parts into harmony.
POSES brings forth an intricate path of self-discovery, opening the gates to a genuine unfolding of your most authentic self.
