Enhancing relationships through embodied awareness.
Nurturing meaningful personal and professional relationships requires relating to others on a deeper level. To relate to another, we first need to embody to ourselves.
The reasons why many relationships hit stalemate, leaders struggle to be impactful, or clients struggle connect to their therapy, often has little to do with the modality or strategies being used. Rather, it has much to do with how the we relate to ourselves, the process and their environments.
Regardless of the nature of the relationship, we believe there are core skills in relational dynamics, embodiment, and trauma-aware care that serve providers, leaders, clients and employees alike. These skills are rarely taught in baseline technical training. We provide meaningful, practical education and experiential hands-on learning to health and wellness practitioners, leaders in industry and individuals to enhance their lived experience, heal and engage in life on an embodied level.

Stepping onto the woven path
Foundations in Breathwork
These two and a half day immersions offer an exploration into how the breath can be a supportive tool towards state-shifting within the nervous system, restoring resiliency and vitality.
This immersion introduces all aspects of the breath, experientially, from restorative to stimulating, short form and long form, and introduces the nuance required to work with breath in a safe and effective context way.
This immersion serves to introduce the breath and is the foundation for our Advanced Integrative Breathwork Facilitator Program.
Foundations in Somatic Facilitation
At the core of all our offerings is an embodied understanding of the nervous system within relationship to ourselves, to others and to our environments. This training sets the foundation for our advanced trainings and is suitable for anyone who is interested in understanding relationship in a new light and from a neuro-informed perspective.
This foundational training is also the first level of our 125hr Foundations in Somatic Facilitation Training and a required pre-requisite to any of our Advanced Skill Trainings.
Embodied Leadership
How can we embody a way of being that empowers others?
Can we inspire the future while remaining grounded in the present and respectful of the past?
Where can we engage in reciprocity, equality and authentic presence in our work with others and those we are in service to?
How do we engage with boundaries, clarity in expression, and presence in order to guide others in accessible, meaningful ways?
In our Embodied Leadership Program we lean into these questions and more while inviting those in management, executives, activists, educators, politicians and anyone seeking the capacity to lead others in a modern, embodied way to explore what Embodied Leadership means to them.

At the core of all our offerings is an embodied understanding of the nervous system within relationship to ourselves, to others and to our environments. This training sets the foundation for our advanced trainings and is suitable for anyone who is interested in understanding relationship in a new light and from a neuro-informed perspective.
The first module of will focus on foundational relational dynamics between self, client and environment.
We will build a baseline understanding of nervous system regulation, setting intentional space, relational awareness, self-awareness, and begin to practice our repertoire of embodied skills; introducing what it means to hold presence for our client’s during their therapeutic process towards resiliency.
We introduce our “Somatic Inquiry” facilitation method which is progressed over the three levels.
This foundational training is also the first level of our 125hr Facilitator Foundational Training and a required pre-requisite to any of our Advanced Skill Trainings.
This module takes place in a hybrid setting, with theory being covered online over the course of a set weekend, follow up online group calls, and then a second, in person experiential weekend to complete the 40hrs of content.
-
In our second module we will deepen our awareness of how we relate to others, and how the reciprocity of the environment we set translates to that experience. We will bring in focused awareness of how trauma and other “complexities” (chronic pain, concussions, etc) may direct the course of relationships, build on our foundations of interpersonal awareness, while enhancing our practical skillset within an embodied presence as facilitators.
The Somatic Inquiry process introduced in Module 1 is progressed to include holistic facilitation methods rooted in observation, intuition and motivational interviewing.
This module takes place in hybrid format, with theory being covered online, follow up calls, practice calls with cohort partners and an in person 2.5 day experiential immersion.
-
In this module we focus in on sustainable relationship practices; moving towards integration, resiliency and growth using the assessment and focused awareness techniques developed in the first two modules.
We intend to support a fluid evolution into your own integration of the work where most applicable to you. Specifics are curated to those accepted into the module on completion of levels 1 and 2.
The vast majority of this level is dedicated. to practical experience in group format and as such has an IN PERSON requirement, taking place over a four day immersion.
