February 14-21, 2009
In early
February a group of twenty-three of us arrived in Marrakech from
the USA, Canada, UK, Ireland and Austria. For Solihin and myself it
was like a homecoming. The staff of the riad that we have now used
three times, welcomed us like family, telling us we were home now,
and it did feel like it! We savored being up on the roof terrace
again looking out to the snow-covered Atlas mountains, hearing the
call to prayer five times a day, the sights, sounds and smells of
the medina. It was lovely to remember and be remembered by people
in the market, and the local environs. We had a wonderful group for
the workshop and met up on the roof terrace in the mornings to
workshop together, breaking for lunch and exploring in the
afternoons, to the the main square with its snake charmers,
dancers, musicians and fortune tellers, among others, the
labyrinthine bazaar, the old Islamic school, or palaces decorated
with beautiful tile-work and intricate carving, courtyard gardens
with fountains and pools. We would sometimes meet by the fire in
the living room after dinner to do more group work. We took one
full day to go to the medievel-like market in the Ourika valley
outside the city, followed by a couple of hours working together on
the roof terrace of our friend Rasjid's carpet shop, drinking mint
tea while sitting on a multitude of carpets spread out on the roof,
overlooking the Ourika river below. On two evenings we had
musicians come and sing and play for us. As I was sitting there
listening I was struck by the beauty of it all; to be in the
courtyard of this ancient riad with lanterns reflecting in the
water of the pool, the smiling faces of the group, and the delight
of the staff in the music, a half moon and stars visible above us
and the gift of being there and experiencing this wonderful
traditional music and culture of Marrakech. - Alicia

February ‘08’s participants.
If you were unable to join us this year, we are going back again
next year, so you can start planning now!
The dates are: February 14-21, 2009!
Here are some comments from this year's
participants:
- Participating in the workshop has helped me to integrate the inner and outer aspects of my life, to put muscle onto the bones, bringing an understanding, a picture that is more complete. It has also assisted in understanding more about the balance of inner and outer work, not to neglect the "effort" and "consciousness" needed to integrate. An interesting and often fascinating blend of activity, reflection, participation and sharing. A deeply human experience. Andrew Holloway, UK
- To travel with a like-minded group and embrace inner and outer awareness together is unique and sublime.Christina Perkins, USA
- Be prepared to put aside everything you thought was real and defined you, and be prepared to change. This is like opening a new book to help me understand my life. Patty Kupicha, Ireland
- I found a flexible, organic structure I didn't know I was looking for. Today I am experiencing clarity as never before and, perhaps most beneficial, more self-understanding and acceptance. An opportunity to go way deeper in a safe, rich, exotic, delicious, warm, nurturing, challenging, stimulating environment and having an internal compass to take home. Evelyn Doherty, USA
- A great way to step out of your familiar patterns and have a new look at them. By diving into a completely different culture, by seeing the life forces actually come alive in the constellations, by exchanging thoughts with other participants. Nicole Jaufer, Austria
- Though I assumed there'd be a big let down once the trip was all over, there isn't. My surroundings look different. I feel different. Your process of living the life forces is so elegant, profound and enduring! I find I'm filing pertinent info for next year's trip to Marrakech, and this was to be my one and only chance! In deepest gratitude and love, Celeste Varley, Canada

I was born in Moscow in 1970 - in the golden age of Breznev's era.
My father came from a big family originally from St. Petersburg,
the former Leningrad.
My mother was the third child of a Red Army colonel, who went
through much of the troubles of the second world war. His wife, my
grandmother, and two young uncles spent almost four years in a Nazi
concentration camp in Lithuania.
I grew up in a medical environment, as both of my parents were MDs.
Since a very young age I wasn't able to see myself as anything but
a doctor. So I enrolled in medical school, graduating in
1995. I did my residency in internal diseases. I learned many
different modalities, the most remarkable being acupuncture with
Lev Dolgopolsky, who introduced me to a bigger and deeper picture
of illness and disorders of human beings. He also trained me in
pulse diagnostics, which I occasionally use even now.
I met Solihin on the East Coast of the USA by chance or God's will
in late November 1997, and started to study ontology in April 1998
in England, and have continued to do so, often repeating courses to
refine my understanding.
Then I spent ten years building a foundation of this work in
Russia. I understood that if I want to be a master in ontology I
must have Solihin close to me, so I did my best to organize as
many, and as often as possible, his visits to Russia. Eventually,
this work started to produce real fruit and now we are developing a
huge project here, which will be of a great benefit for all
participants (practitioners and clients) and for my country. I
would never be able to develop all that without the help and
support which came from my close friends Sasha Parshikov and Feodor
Zhdanov as well as my ex-wife Mariana Trifonova.
I spent four years writing my PhD in Clinical Psychology but was
not able to receive a degree even though one of the most honored
psychologists in Russia read it and said that this work is
absolutely valid, but it is miles ahead of the present
understanding of the scientific community so I need time to allow
the scientific consciousness to grow to be able to accept the
thesis. He said it would act as a bomb under the present state of
psychology as a science. Never-the-less I received a Master's
degree in Clinical Psychology.
Through the years we have taught and developed a lot of
practitioners whose understanding is widening and their practice
growing. I can see the potential of this work which is huge here in
Russia and throughout the world. I just wonder why this
revolutionary approach is so accepted in Russia and seems in
Austria, but is still not well recognized in the US.
I appreciate all those l met in the USA and Europe, who have given
me their hand during my studying with Solihin. Apart from Alicia
and Solihin I bend my knees and saying thank you from my whole
heart to: Sabrina and Don Gerber, Tomas Jones, David (Muwahid)

Alan Stainfield, Kathy Davis, Irina Susanin, Salahudin Brownfield,
Syna Horton, Slawomir and Lisa Wojtowicz-Praga as well as to all
participants of all workshops I did with Solihin and Alicia in the
USA, Austria, Morocco and England.
Many years ago I wrote in one of the first 'Reflections' newsletter
"that no one may know what crop will come from the first visit of
Solihin to Russia". Now, ten years later, I can say:"Yes - it
is time to harvest and prepare for the next seeding".
The name of thesis is: "Utilization of non verbal body-orientated
approach for investigation of alexitimia on patients with chronic
skin diseases." We took two groups (control and experimental) of
patients with chronic skin disease such as psoriasis, eczema,
allergic rush, Lupus, atopic dermatitis and measured the level of
alexitimia, anxiety, EEG, mood, activity and feeling state and the
acuity of their disease state. After five treatments in the
experimential group we again measured the same indexes in both
groups. Almost all indexes were changed in the experimential group
and the most obvious positive changes had been seen on EEG and
levels of anxiety. Apart from these practical results, we were able
to differentiate, based on their ontological stories, criteria
which allowed us to suggest the classification of alexitimia. This
classification is useful as it allows us to understand the etiology
of alexitimia in every particular case which provides an
opportunity to build the correct strategy of how to treat that
particular person: clinical, psychological, or through further
studying. What is interesting is that we found that these
classifications have a correspondence with our understanding of the
ontological hierarchy. We can say that there are four main groups
of alexitimia: organic, psychosomatic, behavioral and
psychological, which we may see as material,vegetative, animal and
human areas of life. Is that not amazing?
NB: the title means An ontological approach in the use of a non
verbal dialogue to investigate patients with alexitimia (those who
are unable to articulate or acknowledge how they feel.)
Are you ready
for the pre-teacher training?
Are
you ready to finish the work you have not learnt - the remaining
body of work known as OHP?
Are you ready to alter, develop, mold, shape and master your
ontological dialogue?
Would
you like to present your own understanding / adaptation / nuance /
protocol / ideas? Come and present at the
Conference.
Have you taken
most or all of the Inner Natures Integration [INI] body of work?
This includes CFD, Allergy - from symptom to Source, Qi - in a
rhythm and other associated modules? Then come join us for the
Ontological Mastery Conference and workshop to broaden and deepen
your knowledge towards mastering this ontological approach, and
also develop the pre-requisities if you would like to begin to
teach individual modules in the future for Ad Humanitas.
This retreat will be held
September 3-17, 2008 on the beautiful Oregon
Coast. You can com
for the initial first half for those who have done the above
modules and now want to expand and fill their understanding with
the complete OHP [Opening Human Potential] understanding. This ends
with the Conference - a sharing of those who have been doing the
work and would like to present their understanding, developments,
suggestions and ideas - the fruit of working with this approach
over many years. The following 5 days, starting with the Conference
will include never taught material - both workshop halves will
approach the work as a ‘dialogue’ system, and help you to develop a
mastery over the work and its application.

Overview:
Over the last
few years the focus of this work has evolved into a "dialogue
system". The six days will cover all the receiving work
formerly known as Opening Human Potential (OHP) - this includes a
great deal of sophisticated modes which enter into ever deeper and
more intimate dialogue. The work will include integrity of the
vessel, restoring the potential, signals, essence, and djinn. The
emphasis will not be on learning modules but learning to think
ontologically and to be able to use the database as well as to be
able to scan and find accurately, confirm, and be totally objective
in the process. The second half which is open to those who
have completed part one and those who have gone over the work in
depth for many years. These four days will continue the theme
of dialogue and the ability to use the database will introduce new
modes so we can perceive and allow the story to
develop.
To
be held
in Portland, Oregon. An oportunity
to learn a facinating, profound, cutting-edge application of our
ontological approach to allergy resolution. This is ideal for all
therapists of any modality as it augments their own training
substantially and provides them with a tool which is
second-to-none. The protocol is extremely effective.
In three parts, this workshop has been devloped over years to
provide a detailed human-orientated model of the root cause of
allergies and their resolution.
The first workshop will cover the material aspect of allergies. We
will be using modes - a gesture language - to enable us to dialogue
with the client to ascertain where the root of the psora / itch has
come from. For most of us it is metaphorically in the basement or
subconscious - housed in our interior, coming through our genome or
familial patterning. The key of this is that we shut down, turn off
or polarize (turn away) from these 'shadows' within us, so that we
remain separate from the primeval itch that we contain. This
workshop starts with all the factors inherent within our
subconscious, or the ‘base’ of ourselves – as if we store down in
the cellar unknown things which make us itch. These traditionally
are dust, mold, fungus (things almost alive or feeding off things
thta are dying, dead or not very alive) metals. It will include all
things that we cannot see, that we have inherited and which are
within our foundation. This is the material allegric mechanisms
which form the seed irritant. The root of our psora. These elements
switch us off - which is the organism’s response at an innate level
to things it has no understanding about. This is because these
elements are in the basemnet of the house (our body) which we are
largely unconscious. So we’ll learn how to dialogue with the body
to find the original or initial rebellious itch within us. This has
the affect of beginning to switch-off our physiological mechanisms
that have been in feedback loop and cyclical patterns of antigen
reactivity, and stop the pattern at its inception. The workshop
will expand, open up your understanding and prepare you for the
other two workshops which will look at our physiology and
instinctual self that predisposes ourselves towards sensitivity
towards food - and how we are nourished, and to environmental
irritants both internally and externally (pollutants, pollen,
chemicals, cat, horse dander etc.)
