Quality Living – an 8 week programme

The 8 week programme covers the same ground as the 7 day fully residential programme, but includes a greater emphasis on integrating various life skills in between weekend and evening sessions. The integration of the life skills is able to happen on a different level because your external world is engaged.

It consists of:

  • two residential weekends (Friday evening to Sunday evening)
  • five non-residential Friday evenings (5pm to 11:30pm).

Weekends are normally held in various nature-orientated surroundings, whilst Friday evenings are held in a city location.

As with Transitions, participants for this programme are limited to 20.

Our unique offering includes

physical

  • Diet. Food on the residential weekends is a detoxifying, organic vegetarian diet, with an optional organic juice fast (the duration is self-directed). The physical detoxification and food restrictions are specially designed for the emotional cleansing work by a nutritionist.
  • Accommodation. Accommodation for the two weekends is in comfortable share lodges  in natural surroundings (which increases the capacity for healing), with total privacy for the group.

  • Advanced techniques and facilitation. This means that what you will undertake on our programmes cannot be learned on your own or through a self-help type book or manual. What we do is facilitate the process of releasing your unconscious causes of depression. This will be done through particular styles of
    • CATHARTIC BREATHWORK – a revolutionary defence displacement technique,
      based on a particular breathing pattern
      that dissolves the barrier between
      the conscious and unconscious
      levels of awareness
    • BIOENERGETIC TECHNIQUES (bio=life, energetics=energy) – these are physical techniques designed to unlock the trapped life energies in the bodymind system
    • CONSCIOUS COUNSELLING – a regression technique refined to uncover why your personality developed the way it did

    …and many other techniques, including some specifically designed by Jaan Jerabek, the founder of The Depression Solution.

  • Maintenance techniques taught. You leave with powerful tools to maintain and further your process of Depression recovery.

  • Exclusive groupwork. We have high standards when it comes to you receiving the attention and support that you need – and so we guarantee there will be one facilitator per two participants.
  • Tailored individual facilitation. TThe facilitator you share with another participant may change day to day, depending on where your process is at, and which facilitator has the particular skills needed to best assist you at the stage your individual process is in. This is determined on a daily basis by the lead facilitator, to ensure all participants receive the optimum benefit
  • Tailored group facilitation. Each day is a synthesis of various modalities which is often timed organically, according to where the needs of the group are. This is because we do not just provide theory-style lectures, we focus on the process of facilitation, which is moment to moment.
  • Professional facilitators. The facilitation of releasing your unconscious is done by trained and experienced therapists. We not only use people who are highly trained in the main technique behind ’The Depression Solution’, some facilitators are also certified psychotherapists, counsellors and other specialised therapists.
