Workshops
Psychology in motion
Workshops of 2 to 4 hours, indoors or out in nature, to experience psychology differently: walking, moving, slowing down, trying things out… and then understanding what happened.
Discover the workshops ↓Psychology is not only worked on sitting in an armchair.
Some mechanisms become easier to understand when you experience them. Walking, moving, slowing down, trying, making mistakes or simply observing what happens when you step out of your habits.
Thérapie Intégrale workshops combine psychology, movement and nature to approach confidence, motivation, limits, recovery and balance in a different way.
Not to keep performing better and better.
But to learn to know yourself better and find what truly does you good.

Find out moreThe right effort
Finding the balance between pushing yourself and respecting yourself
Psychology · Movement · Nature
Between “always more” and “what’s the point”, there is a right effort: the one that lets you move forward without wearing yourself out. Through simple physical activities, we observe how each person reacts to effort: self-demand, comparison with others, frustration, the urge to force or to give up.
The discussion that follows helps make sense of these reactions and find concrete reference points to pace your energy, in sport as in everyday life.
What we explore
- Self-demand and guilt
- Comparing yourself with others
- Persevere or adapt?
- The role of recovery
“Push yourself, yes. But not against yourself.”
In practice
- Who it is for
- People who are demanding of themselves, athletes, active people who find it hard to ease off.
- Duration
- About 3 hours

- In nature

Slowing down without stopping
Finding your own pace
Psychology · Movement · Nature
It is not about learning to “relax”, but about finding a sustainable pace again. During the workshop, we alternate fast walking, slow walking, pauses, breathing and observation, to feel what each pace triggers inside.
We then transfer these sensations to work, sport and daily life: what is my right pace, and how can I protect it when everything speeds up?
What we explore
- Constant acceleration
- Signs of overload
- Breathing and recovery
- A sustainable pace in daily life
“Slowing down is not giving up. It is choosing your pace.”
In practice
- Who it is for
- Stressed or overloaded people, parents, professionals, anyone looking for a better balance.
- Duration
- About 2.5 hours
- Setting
- In nature or indoors
- Group
- Small group · no particular fitness level required

A day without performance
Moving without measuring, comparing or succeeding
Psychology · Movement · Nature
No watch, no kilometres, no ascent, no stopwatch and no calories. Just movement, guided by sensations, in the nature of the Val d’Anniviers. Phones and watches stay in the bag.
What happens when we measure nothing? Relief, discomfort, boredom, freedom? Starting from this experience, we reflect on our relationship with productivity, performance and the need for results.
What we explore
- The need to measure and control
- Moving by feel
- Performance and self-esteem
- Enjoyment without a goal
“No numbers to beat. Just the experience.”
In practice
- Who it is for
- Athletes and active people used to measuring everything, and anyone who wants to rediscover the simple pleasure of moving.
- Duration
- 3 to 4 hours
- Setting
- In nature, Val d’Anniviers
- Group
- Small group · no particular fitness level required

How far should I go?
Listening to your limits without giving up too quickly
Psychology · Movement · Nature
Through small physical challenges in nature, progressive and adapted to each person, we learn to distinguish between: I can, I want to, I must… or I need to stop.
The workshop helps you tell the difference between discomfort, fear, fatigue, resistance and a real limit, so you can make better decisions: without putting yourself in danger, but without depriving yourself of what you are capable of either.
What we explore
- Discomfort, fear or fatigue?
- I can / I want to / I must / I need
- Trusting your sensations
- Deciding under uncertainty
“Not always further, not always sooner: just where it is right for me.”
In practice
- Who it is for
- People who are demanding of themselves, athletes, young people, people who doubt their abilities.
- Duration
- About 3 hours
- Setting
- In nature
- Group
- Small group · no particular fitness level required
- Dates
- Coming soon, or on request for a group
Finding the drive again
Getting moving again when motivation has gone
Psychology · Movement · Daily life
We often wait until we feel like it before acting. Yet it is often action that brings the desire back. This workshop offers small actions and accessible movement to get things going again, without pressure or performance.
We then build a first realistic goal, adapted to your situation. This workshop is a natural extension of the support service Rehabilitation, motivation and movement.
What we explore
- When action comes before motivation
- Getting out of inertia without forcing
- A first realistic goal
- Keeping the momentum going
“The desire often comes back along the way.”
In practice
- Who it is for
- Young people, adults in transition, people who have been inactive for a while (injury, illness, burnout, a difficult period).
- Duration
- About 2.5 hours
- Setting
- Indoors and outdoors
- Group
- Small group · no particular fitness level required
- Dates
- Coming soon, or on request for a group
