Who is the Training For?
You feel driven to promote social and cultural change through the ways we embody ourselves and our values, our voices, our sensitivity and sensuality, our intuitive and creative capacities.
You have a natural gift as a listener, facilitator, educator, and healer and are looking to strengthen these capacities by adding a rich, evocative, and skillful vocabulary of embodiment tools and cultivating mastery of cutting edge movement~ and body-centric techniques, practices, and methods that will empower your work, purpose, and message.
The body’s intuitive and creative expression, and its primary languages of sensing and movement, happen to be a territory of natural inclination, joy, and curiosity for you. You are a trained practitioner, and/or have participated in various embodiment and movement modalities, and are seeking to bring the body, its moving expression, and its native genius into the work you do, or envision doing.
Our trainees come from multiple backgrounds, from licensed somatic therapists and coaches to nurses, teachers, doulas, artists, and entrepreneurs.
Our Training is for You if:
-
You are a professional facilitator, a therapist, social worker, coach, or a practitioner of the healing arts, already working with people and organizations and seeking ways to bring embodiment methodologies that powerfully engage the creative and somatic intelligence of the moving body– this training is designed with you in mind.
-
You don't have previous professional background in somatics & embodiment arts, but are passionate about bringing the transformative power of movement, embodied intelligence and body-centric leadership to your work.
-
You desire to experience the profundity of the Deep Body Model in your personal life, and contribute to the growth and embodied empowerment of your communities, friends, and loved ones, even if you do not plan on a career in embodiment.
-
You have completed the minimum prerequisites
