Personal Freedom Training 2022-2023 with Tarika Glubin (USA)
The Personal Freedom Training is an individual experience of self-growth that happens in 6 parts over two years.
Deeply ingrained and unconscious beliefs tend to define who we are and what we do throughout our life. How many beliefs, ideas and conditionings about ourselves and others are limiting our experience of life, many times making us feel stuck, shrunk or that we can't go for what we really want and long for?
When we shed light, compassion and understanding on our negative beliefs and ideas about ourselves and the world around us, we feel empowered by widening our choices. Not only that, but we also gain the self trust needed to let go of what is not working for us anymore and to create and rejoice in a more integrated, expanded and fulfilled life.
The workshops that form this integral, individual and deeply transformational training are:
-
Entering the path of self love
Personal Freedom Training part I, 3 Days February 17-19, 2023
This 3 day process is created for people with a deep longing for love in their lives. It will guide you through the labyryinth of conditioning about loving yourself, the objections, the fears and the beliefs. With a clear understanding of these inner mechanisms, the old habits of self-rejection and doubt begin to fade away, and you can open to your own intrinsic beauty.
This is a major step in the rediscovery of your essential value and prepares the way for positive and loving relationships.
-
The Rebellious Spirit
Personal Freedom Training part II, 5 Days June 21-25, 2023
-
Love and Freedom
Personal Freedom Training part III, 4 Days November 9-12, 2023
In these days we continue to explore the conditioning which stops us from connecting with ourselves.
Life is a mysterious unfolding. With each turn we take there is new information for us to process and digest. We will look at what is in the way of keeping us flowing, experiment with moving the obstacles out of the way and support the understanding that we are connected to a loving existence. It is important to remember that we can not always control our circumstances but we do have the power to decide how we take care of ourselves and make the most loving choices possible.

Who am I without my story? with Anam Smith and Tarika Glubin
Personal Freedom Training part IV, 5 Days January 24-28, 2024
A deep process of understanding how to live from the present moment. We will go through an awareness intensive process, based on traditional Zen techniques, designed to penetrate beyond our habitual masks and pretensions focusing our total energy into the search for who we really are., who is in?. We will explore what it means to dis-identify from our old history and let go of the destructive patterns that unconsciously keep directing our life.
When you practice responding moment to moment, awareness of your identification with the personality starts to develop. Once this is experienced and understood, you shift towards your being, to the center of witnessing. You feel a profound relaxation and the joy of being in the present moment.
A 5 days Zoom experience workshop open for everybody with previous experience on meditation and emotional release groups (i.e. Breathing, Pulsation, Childhood work)
-
Living from Present Time
With the help of the Transessence Technique (a tool for essential living) we will take a deeper look at what action comes from Present time.
We will learn to distinguish between our personality structure (reaction) and present time (action). So much is possible when we learn to step out of the past!
-
Lighting Up Your Life
Personal Freedom Training part VI, 3 Days June 7-9, 2024
As a completion way to round out this individual training we will spend these days looking at what lights us up.
So much time and energy goes into wondering how we can do things better or what we are doing wrong. We are hardly ever encouraged to look at what we want to do, what we need, and what makes us happy. By learning how to naturally focus on your essential inner guidance you can begin to bring this light into your daily life.
Each module of the training is also a stand alone workshop. Is possible to join the training at any point until the 4th module. The 5th and 6th modules are open only for people that has participated at least in one previous module of the training.
Tarika Glubin has a Masters degree in psychology for the Antioch University in Seattle and more than 30 years experience working with people both individually and in groups in Europe, India, and USA. Her background includes Primal therapy, early childhood deconditioning, body centered psychotherapy, and couples therapy. Tarika facilitates such groups as the Freedom Process (AFH), the Rebellious Spirit, Freedom to Be and the Osho Therapist Training. Her work as an Osho therapist inspired her to create the Transessence technique (a tool for essential living) which assists in the process of disidentification from the personality and living in the present.
10 Individual Sessions Process. Childhood De-conditioning Training with Svarup
This is a unique way to work with a client‘s or your own inner child. It teaches you to understand transform and heal childhood wounds and conditioning.
During this training, you will be guided, and learn to guide others, through a 10 session journey backwards in time, through each one of the developmental stages of childhood.
You will be taught:
-how at each stage of childhood a certain essential quality (strength, initiative, trust, etc.) surfaces in its potential form, and gets repressed or distorted by issues.
-how these unresolved issues affect our capacity as adults to fully live and enjoy our lives
For each stage of childhood development, you will learn, both through theory and self-experience, specific techniques to:
-contact the issues of that particular time,
-heal the wounds that occurred then,
-transform the energy that was blocked at that time back into life affirmative qualities.
This training benefits both those who want to use it for in depth self-experience and those who want to use it in their work with people.
If you intend to use this training as a working tool, you will also be given individual supervision sessions, to learn through experience and receive a constructive feedback.

HEALING THE INNER TEENAGER – A 10 sessions process with Svarup
The Healing the Inner Teenager – A 10 sessions process is a brand new way of working with the wounds and the immense energetic potential that awakens sex and vision for everyone, during the period of teenage.
During this training, you will be guided, and learn to guide others, through a 10 session journey backwards in time, where we will address both, the sexual aspect and the visionary aspect in ourselves:
SEXUALITY
Teenage is the period in life when sexual energy awakens. It is the birth of a new powerful sensation in the body, and a new strong physical longing.
This was for many of us a challenging time, with no one to really teach us to understand, enjoy and explore passion, which is the natural connection between sex and heart.
Because of family shame and values, peer pressure, abuse and/or lack of guidance as teen agers, we often froze or pushed ourselves beyond what felt good for us. Or gave in to addictions as a compensation for the lack of emotional and physical nourishment and support.
The result of all this was a split between the strong sensation of sex and the powerful longing of the heart, a disconnection that often became self destructive.
The wounded teenager is still alive in us. As we grow up, the shame, the split and the frozenness are still there, unprocessed in the background of our unconscious, preventing us from fully enjoying being easy and natural in our bodies.
By healing the wounds of the past, we learn to embrace the natural, sensuous, passionate teenager that is also still alive in our body and soul.
We can, as adults, learn to become whole again, reconnect with the source of our energy, and love and nourish our bodies as the temples of our soul.
VISION
Exactly at the same time as the sexual awakening is happening, the frontal lobes of our brain also activate for the first time in our life. They represent the latest and last evolutionary development.
Because of this activation we start start to have dreams beyond our small family as the entire world becomes our playground. We have longings that make life meaningful, bringing inspiration, joy and creativity. As teenagers we naturally feel that everything is possible.
Yet, more often than not, the longings we had as teenagers were stifled too fast and too soon by the pressure of survival, realism, duty and competition that surrounded us.
Many of us ended up casting them aside and forgetting about them.
Nevertheless, those teenage longings are still somewhere deep in our unconscious, waiting to be realized and lived.
This is always possible if we as adults rediscover them, get inspired by them, and find ways to integrate them in our lives, experiencing a new freshness and motivation in our bodies and life itself.
THE TRAINING
Healing the Inner Teenager – A 10 sessions process, is open for all of those interested in learning a new growth and exploration method for working with people, as well as those who want to experience the growth and learning process for themselves.
It is a healing and transforming journey for yourself, which can also become a new skill for working with people under our supervision.
It will teach you a series of ten individual sessions in which each of these sessions, you will learn, both through theory and self-experience, specific techniques to work with Teenager Conditioning and Longing through:
– Deepening the connection between our Adult part, the Teenager part, and the Child part in us. Learning to listen and understand what each one of these parts inside of us needs or wants in our lives now.
– Rediscovering the original longing of the Teenager in us.
– Exploring the family dynamics and conditionings of that time, completing what remained unsaid and moving on.
– Transforming shame and revenge into passion and creativity.
– Learning to be easy and natural with sexual energy.
– Experiencing both currents of a healthy sexual energy: the red outgoing passion and the golden receptive and nourishing sensuousness
– Healing and finding new resources in the friendly connection with the same gender.
– Exploring the meeting with the opposite gender and its friendly and ecstatic potential.
– Exploring the meeting of male and female inside us.
– Learning meditation and breathing techniques to allow the flow of energy in our bodies
