La Maîtrise

Four gestures

For six days, you learn nothing new to believe. You practise four gestures: recognising the state you are in, changing it deliberately, holding the position, then releasing (fig. 1).

These are gestures of the mind. Like all gestures, they fail at first, then they become available. You leave with your personal programme, to continue alone: that is the aim of the week.

Who can come

La Maîtrise is for those who have done the Mental Treatment, and who have kept up their practice since. It does not follow straight on from the Treatment: it is earned through practice, and the decision is made at home.

The condition is simple: at least thirty days of daily Δ Delta Score records since the end of the Mental Treatment, kept regularly. The quality of the scores does not count. Only consistency counts, including and above all on difficult days.

Everything begins with a consultation with M. Mischa Harmeijer.

Afterwards

Most people leave with what they came for, and that is an end in itself. For those who want to go further, there is a continuation: La Perception. It is decided later, at home, never at the Centre.

Setting

La Maîtrise is neither care, nor therapy, nor a rest stay.

It replaces no medical or psychological follow-up — if you are currently being followed, the written agreement of the practitioner who supports you is required, as for all the Centre’s approaches. And it promises no result: the training produces its effects through practice and keeping it up, at a pace that varies from one person to another. What is guaranteed is what depends on us: six days of structured, individual work, and a programme to continue.

You can interrupt your stay at any time. This decision is entirely yours and does not need to be justified. The setting is demanding, it is never a constraint: nothing keeps you at the Centre. The conditions that apply in case of interruption are set out in the terms and conditions.

The first step

A consultation with M. Mischa Harmeijer.

Admission to La Maîtrise never happens by simple registration. It always begins with a consultation with M. Mischa Harmeijer.

During this consultation, M. Mischa Harmeijer listens, observes, and looks at where your practice stands since the Mental Treatment. He assesses whether La Maîtrise is the right answer for you, at this precise moment of your path. If it is not, he tells you clearly — and points you towards what will be more suitable for you.

What comes before admission

The condition is measurable: at least thirty days of daily Δ Delta Score records since the end of the Mental Treatment, kept regularly. The quality of the scores is not taken into account — only the consistency of the practice is looked at, including and above all on difficult days.

Final admission is granted at the end of the consultation. If it is confirmed, a date is set, and the precise course of your six days — individual — is explained to you.

The number of retreats conducted each month is strictly limited — because this work requires M. Mischa Harmeijer’s full availability, and no one can conduct several trainings at the same time.

Medical support

A general practitioner at your side.

Centre EPÉU works with Dr Séverine Jalet, general practitioner, homeopath and acupuncturist. This collaboration allows consistent support for subjects whose situation requires medical follow-up complementary to our approach.

When a consultation is necessary

Some approaches offered by the Centre may require a prior medical check-up. If your situation calls for it, an appointment with Dr Jalet will be asked of you before the work begins.

If you are currently in therapy or under the supervision of a psychiatrist, the written agreement of the practitioner who follows you is required.

Looking for a general practitioner?

If you do not have a regular doctor, or if you are looking for a practitioner open to complementary approaches, Dr Jalet receives patients at her practice for general medicine, homeopathy and acupuncture.
