Navigate the hidden landscapes of embodied experience using safe, evidence-informed, and philosophically grounded somatic methods.

 

Anyone who’s worked with body awareness knows that amplifying the senses is not enough.  Neither is plunging into freeform body imagery.  Both are as likely to confuse and overwhelm, as to help.

We need a flexible framework to journey into ourselves, to regulate and eventually challenge ourselves to grow.  Once created, a somatic map lets us come to a stable and generative relationship with our senses and intuitions.

Tremendous change becomes possible – in pain regulation, motor learning, emotional homecoming, and creative insight.

In this unique 4-hour experiential workshop -- takeable online or in-person -- we will learn how to:

 

– Build a stable body schema through enactive movements/focuses, before overwhelming a person with sensation and imagery. 

 

– Create meaningful “entry points” for successful therapeutic imagery, drawing from natural, structural, and anatomical themes.

 

- Support clients (or oneself) to develop an empowered relationship to body imagery, both conscious and implicit.

 

- Decouple and clarify the layers of complex sensations / emotions / intuitions using adaptive imagery. 

 

– Re-set autonomic/somatic behavior in key body areas, including axial skeleton, heart, lungs, and core structures.

​

- Educate students/clients on current pain science and the role of embodied metaphor in the shaping of psychological expectation and potential for change within the sensorimotor system.

​

Whether you're a seasoned practitioner or just starting your mind-body career, this workshop will deepen your understanding of how somatic maps can open up new possibilities for healing and wholeness.

Come prepared to move, explore, and expand your own embodied horizons!

​

This workshop is open to somatic practitioners of all experience levels. You'll leave with a wealth of practical tools and techniques you can immediately integrate into your work with clients.
