Welcome!Hello, I'm Dieter Rehberg, founder and director of
The PME Somatic Training. For more than 30 years, I have been exploring how sensing, movement, touch and dialogue can support health and create the conditions for helpful and healing development to emerge. The PME Somatic Training brings this experience together in one coherent approach to somatic learning and practice. Whether you come for your own development or want to work professionally with others, you are invited to explore what can emerge when we listen more closely to the body and its wisdom. |

This is the PME Somatic TrainingA Training In and Through the Living and Moving Body
The PME Somatic Training is an integrated approach to personal and professional development in and through the living and moving body. It brings together sensing, movement, touch, dialogue and reflection to explore how helpful and healing development can emerge from within.
Rather than teaching a fixed method for changing people, PME develops the capacity to listen, respond and work with what is already present. The body of the client holds the solution, and change emerges from within on its own. PME can be explored and applied in many different areas of practice—from somatic movement and coaching to touch, dance, education and therapy. These are not separate techniques, but different expressions of one coherent approach. |

Why People Seek Somatic Work
|
Sometimes we know that something needs to change, but we don't know how to begin.
Are you annoyed by little chronic pains in your body that won't disappear? Compassionate sensing can become the beginning of an effective healing process. Find pleasure in moving again. Are you tired of not having the tools to effectively regulate old emotions? Physical experience is at the core of emotional experience. Sensing your body in greater detail can help you differentiate and regulate your emotions. Happiness is possible. Are you fed up with not knowing what you really want in life? Our sense of who we are is deeply connected with the sensory signals from the body. Learning to sense your body can help you reconnect with yourself and what matters to you. Find and appreciate yourself. Are you dissatisfied with how you experience your sexuality? Learn to sense your body. Explore different qualities of sensing. Enjoy love. Many people seek somatic work because they are looking for more than information or another technique. They are looking for a way to reconnect with themselves through their own living experience.

Why Change Often Remains Incomplete
|
We can understand a problem and still repeat the same patterns.
Information, advice and good intentions are often not enough. Helpful and healing development also requires the opportunity to sense, move, explore and discover through our own lived experience. What is happening now—and what does my body need next? What Makes PME Different?
PME does not try to impose change from the outside.
Through the Somatic Dialogue, sensing, movement, touch, language and relationship become ways of exploring what is already present. The body of the client holds the solution, and helpful and healing development can emerge from within on its own. |
|
From Pain and Suffering to Freedom and Joy
|
What feels fixed can become more flexible.
As we learn to sense and respond to the living and moving body, new possibilities for movement, feeling, relationship and expression can emerge. PME does not promise a particular outcome. It supports the body's capacity for self-organisation, healing, learning and development. From pain and suffering to greater freedom, vitality, connection and joy. Would you like to explore that?

"With its simplicity this training really enables one to focus and understand what "mindful" realy means. And by constantly emphasizing and explaining its importance it creates the safe space for it to be embodied."
"Personally, this has been an amazing and rich journey, connecting more to my body, physically and sensory, becoming curious and explorative, being more friendly and compassionate with my body and its processes. This course offered the space to go through a wide range of sensing, feelings, thoughts- from I feel nothing, I am not sure what is there... to overwhelming, humbling realizations about my self (mind, body, spirit)"
"Fun, collaborative, awe-inducing, educational, challenging, focused, and transformative. This is what comes to mind when I remember this module. I’m writing this feedback nearly 12 months after I took the module. This week planted the seed for an awakening process for my awareness. The only thing that exists is right here right now and that’s true for everything everywhere."

As you deepen your capacity for sensing and responding, you also develop ways of supporting helpful and healing development in others. Your presence is needed and appreciated.
