Dr. Eva Reich’s Gentle Bio-Energetics

Led by Richard C. Overly in Atlanta, Georgia

March 17, 2018

2751 Buford Hwy, 1st floor conference room, Atlanta, GA 30324

Hosted by Healing Quest and Ines Hoster

At the foundation of Gentle Bio-Energetics is the interaction between our
• Life Energy, our vital living source of power, that is impacted by
• Traumas, any experience that interferes with energetic flow,
• Armor, all the ways we learned to protect ourselves as a result of trauma.
Eva Reich, MD, developed Gentle Bio-Energetics from 1940s to 1990s from her:
• experiences assisting her father, Wilhelm Reich;
• rural Maine medical practice;
• worldwide training programs;
• work with babies and mothers to change birthing and child rearing practices.
Gentle Bio-Energetics is a healing process - melting armor, healing the underlying trauma and restoring our energetic flow. Drawing on her vast experience Eva created a model incorporating butterfly touch in body and verbal therapies for healing and growth applicable from pre-birth to death.
“My clients are amazed at how such a gentle touch in all of GBE can have such a profound, immediate, life changing impact on their bodies and in altering their behavior.” Student

I met Eva Reich in 1985, studied Gentle Bio-Energetics with her until 1990 and further until she quit teaching as a result of her health. She endorsed me to teach her work and also work with me to compile her work in Gentle Bio-Energetics Theory and Tools for Everyone. She had taught her work around the world and I have been fortunate enough to teach also in Singapore, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Poland, Greece, Norway, as well as the USA. Students have come to these places from other countries as well and taken the work back to those places. I have also met some of the people who studied with Eva or here students in my travels in Europe.

12/10/2017

Over the next period of time I will be presenting a lot of the information about the work of Eva Reich's Gentle Bio-Energetics. I will pay particular attention to some of her work around the time of birth and all the ways she found GBE helpful in her obstetric practice and her teaching world wide to change birthing practices. I will post both here and on my personal page. Richard Overly

December 2016
The Gentle Bio-Energetics Institute is a small organization with an important and powerful mission: we train professionals, parents and peers to use Dr. Eva Reich’s Gentle Bio-Energetics to create a safer environment for the newborn and mothers and individuals who have suffered trauma. Our budget is small, the needs are great and I believe it is more important than any time in the past for our message to be given voice. We teach the importance of touch, safe environments, community support and loving assistance.
The demand for our work is increasing and we are working very hard to meet that demand. Just this past year, my assistant trainers and I have worked across Europe and North America to introduce more than 1000 individuals to Eva Reich’s Gentle Bio-Energetics, including:
 8-Day Advanced GBE Training Programs in Latvia, Poland and Greece
 GBE Good Beginnings Training - Poland and Greece- Eutokia center
 Workshop at European Association Body Psychotherapy Congress in Athens
 Developed contacts in Norway, Hungary, Bulgaria, Italy, for future training programs
 Presentations of GBE in Gozo, Malta
 Supervision programs for trainees in Latvia, Greece, Poland, and Lithuania
 Psychodrama Birth Workshop in Latvia for adults having had difficult births
 Training for student assistants to enable future expansion of programs
 Developed promotional videos
We see both the need and opportunity to expand our work even further in 2017, including new programs in Singapore, Norway, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Hungary and Portugal.
Quite simply, our work cannot be done without your help. I am deeply grateful for all the support we have been given from our generous and caring donors and sponsors. And we need your help now more than ever. You see our programs are not financially self-sustaining on their own. We strive to keep our offerings affordable for those who need them most, recognizing that this approach is not in itself a “business model” that allows for a positive operating margin. Your contributions make up the difference….and make the difference in our sustainability. Just as our students are making a difference in the lives of so many, so too do you make a difference in their ability to get solid training in our proven methods.
“I have been training and working with individuals for 30 years, I have seen the impact of Gentle Bio-Energetics in the lives of those who have participated in our workshops. Your contribution is an investment in the lives of others seeking to expand their helping skills.” Richard Overly
I sincerely hope you will consider a gift to the Gentle Bio-Energetics Institute this year. No doubt, there are many causes which deserve your support. I would be deeply grateful if our Institute is one of those you choose to support. I thank you for your thoughtful consideration.
Gratefully,
Richard Overly, President and Director of Training Gentle Bio-Energetics Institute (rcoverly2@gmail.com)
