2009-2010 Applied Somatics Training

Mindfulness-Based Somatics

This comprehensive body-based training program goes beyond many therapeutic modalities by inspiring practitioners to re-discover and reconnect with the wisdom of the body.

When we remember to integrate the body into our work, we achieve more depth and authenticity. By developing skills rooted in their own body knowledge, participants will be opened to a wealth of information about themselves and their clients, enriching their work at a basic, humanistic level.

Our Approach

Children develop their first "sense of self" through the experience of their bodies. This emerging "body ego" is developed through touch, sensation, gazing and mutual connection with our caregivers.

This training explores some of the common issues that arise when this mutual connection is broken or injured. These breaks or injuries become the basis for early childhood decisions which result in creative responses and body posturing that become outdated. Such stances can inhibit our authenticity and affect our ability to feel self-confident and whole.

We explore body-oriented techniques to intervene and bring resolution and healing to these injuries. These tools assist participants and their clients in moving towards more integration and wholeness.

One emphasis of this training is on assisting participants in their own somatic journey and sharing their process. Personal material is explored in group process, and used to demonstrate the techniques and principles we are teaching. In this manner, therapists embody the teachings, and are more able to pass them on to their clients. Didactic information is interwoven with experiential exercises throughout the training.
