He developed his method integrating these different dance, bodywork and counseling techniques from his 35 years of professional experience as somatic therapist and performance artist and combined it with his insights into buddhist theory and practice.
He is the director of the "Institut und Akademie für Physio-Mentale Entwicklung" and founder of THE SOMATIC TRAINING. He holds a Bachelor of Arts from the European Dance Development Center / NL, the Trauma Certificate from Laurier University / CAN and a Master of Arts in Somatic Studies from Middlesex University / UK. For 25 years he worked in his private practice in Vienna / Austria and teaches nationally, internationally and online. His main concern in his workshops and seminars is a clear and coherent communication of the content in a mindful atmosphere and to never leave any questions open . "I created "Physio-mentale Entwicklung" (PME) for you
realizing that with all the different methods I have learned, the quality of execution, how you are sensing, moving and touching, is crucial to its success. In buddhist psychology I found good guidelines for realy helpful and healing actions. And I also created PME because I wanted to have a working method at hand that is safe, simple, comprehensive and sustainable at the same time." |

Feedback:
"Dieter Rehberg is absolutely excellent and very unique as a teacher. With his broad horizon, highly professional attitude, warm humour and large experience, he offers what is really very rare to find."
"I loved the teacher, his clearity, his presence, his determination and his vision. Dieter Rehberg never taught in these 3 weeks an automatic mode – he was always present and dedicated to the learning and the wellbeing of he group."
"Dieter explained everything very clearly, usually demonstrating a new activity with Julia first and then guiding us through the process. I
also appreciate that he repeated instructions patiently when we had not listened carefully the first time round. I noticed that he paid a lot of attention to all our comments and sharing in the circle, even after already having taught us for several hours. I always felt heard and seen, and I enjoyed hearing his responses to our experiences. Dieter also held the group together very well, I don't exactly know how he did it, but it felt like we were a well-functioning and connected group despite most of us never having met in person. Sometimes people appeared a few minutes late (me included), and I think Dieter handled it well, reminding us to be punctual without scolding late-comers.
Finally, I like his enthusiasm about PME practice - it's great to see someone so joyfully connected with their work."

For a very long time (maybe 15 years or so), I've been bemoaning the fact that I have been training in various modalities with teachers who were like automaton. It has been so wonderful to work with Dieter who always has the best pertinent comment and nugget of wisdom to share. He is both disciplined and compassionate. More please! Dieter - you are a real life sensei. Write the book the world needs!
