The exercise class next morning at 7:15 was led by Olaf Trapp, board member of NI-
BA, this time. He followed the approach initially mobilizing the body’s own life energy
through classical bioenergetic exercises. Subsequently through voice- and body awareness
practices a group- body was formed, which finally helped to incorporate the higher level of
energy individually.
After breakfast the lecture from Susanne Winkler, psychologist and local trainer of our
institute, ensued with the title «Grounding- reflections to its meaning for self- development».
Starting from noticing, that our diction provides extensive symbolization codes regarding the
context between standing and self- experience, identity and interpersonal communication, she
pursued the two evolutions, the one of grounding and the one of the self.
The lecture lead to the hypothesis that grounding represents the energetically base of
the self, it is probably the crucial agent to structuring the self.
