The Art of Seeing

Learn to see yourself and others so much more clearly, and feel you have a better understanding of life.

Have you ever had an experience of being seen, in a way that touched you to your core?
Imagine what that feels like to be seen in this way. Without saying much at all. Without making an effort. Without explaining what you yourself don’t even know.

Over the years I’ve been asked if I have special abilities, perhaps ‘supernatural’. I reply that I don’t officially know if I do, but I have been asked this question before.
People tend to ask me this question right after experiencing being seen, deeply to their core. 
Call it magic or not, being seen can feel like magic.

My dad was a doctor. He saw he couldn’t help people with only what he had learned at medical school. He used to quote Ibn Sina, a physician from the 11th century, known as the father of early modern medicine: “There are three cures: plant, knife, and word”.
Being a doctor, my dad already healed with plant and knife. To heal with words, he became a hypnotherapist and an NLP therapist.

When my brother and I became young adults my father facilitated a few workshops to pass onto us some of what he’s learnt over the decades. He invited others to join and learn and practice together. Now I am a psychotherapist and my brother is a doctor.

Now, my daughter is a young adult. She’s a university student, studying psychology. It’s time I pass onto her and others what is not taught at any university.

The Art of Seeing Training is about learning what you cannot learn at university, in the realm of human experience.

Often during my sessions people say “I never thought of it this way before”. 

The Art of Seeing training is about learning to see another human being in a way they haven’t seen before. This facilitates healing and change. 

The training will also include some important themes and techniques from Systemic Family Constellations, NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) and  hypnotherapy.

The training is not intended to certify in any specific modality. Rather it is intended to help you see, deeply, beyond any modality. 

Would you like to know how to see people to their core within minutes? Would you like to do that without them having to explain, without having to think, but from a place of flow?

Join us at:

The Art of Seeing: Two-day Introduction Training

In the Two-day Introduction Training you will:

Day 1: You will facilitate mini-constellations.

Day 2: Multidimensional listening and empathy: You will be introduced to seeing people to their core from a place of flow.

You will learn how to listen deeply and to see deeply.

Be introduced to seeing people deeply. Through people’s energy, through the energy that their words carry, through other energy cues. You may notice images, emotions and sensations of the person you’re working with.

Multidimensional empathy skills: Empathy is the ability to know and experience what another person feels. Through exercises and observations Yael will guide you to tap into various facets of empathy.  

Time permitting, we will touch on how to offer, suggest, or unconsciously lead the person you’re working with towards entering a resourceful state.

We will touch on some theory, but not just what’s in the books. You will learn the theory through experiencing.

On a personal note: I’ve created this training because I am a trainer and LOVE teaching. I call it being an edutainer. I love it when people come and have profound experiences, have fun, and learn so much. This kind of learning and teaching isn’t just fun and effortless, it also sinks deep inside, into different levels of our being. With this kind of learning, you don’t have to memorise a thing, or think and plan. Instead, you will find yourself in a state of flow in life and when you work with people. In this state of flow everything that you’ve learned by experience and having fun just comes and does the job through you.
Of course, a nice ‘side effect’ of such training is the healing we often get by looking into our own issues and being SEEN during the exercises and the questions we ask in the training.

I look forward to The Art of Seeing training, to share and to inspire you to taste the effects of words and other communications in a way that helps you SEE.

I warmly welcome you to the training and look forward to going through these special experiences together.

Training FAQ:

Question: Why the course is on a weekday:

What are weekends for? Or: Why did God create weekends?
My answer to the above question: Weekends are for: Catching up with sleep, loved ones, reading books and hobbies.
Many modern people’s unconscious answer, the answer that comes through their behaviour: Weekends are for catching up with all the work, shopping, duties, studying etc.
I have to walk my talk with integrity and that means the training will be held on weekdays. 

Question: Why is the course held on a “half day” 9am-1pm and not a “full day” (until 4pm)? Why is the course in the morning and not in the evening?

Answer: From my experience both as a trainer and facilitator of workshops as well as a participant in workshops: after lunch not much more can be genuinely taken in. Longer “full” day is just cramping and overloading. A four hours with a morning start, such as 9am-1pm, is when I myself can give you the most. It is also when most people can receive the most out of trainings.
Again, the same as in my answer to why I choose to not have the course on weekends, I feel evenings are for resting, processing and connecting with loved ones.
