Learn the Fundamentals of Somatic Empowerment
Somatic empowerment is at the heart of all our work. It's about accessing the deep wisdom of the body to increase our sense of wellbeing along with our capacity for intimacy and authentic relating.
Our free 'Core Tools and Teachings' intro course will give you a thorough introduction to the theory and practice of somatic empowerment.
The course is in 2 parts: a 1-hour video course in which we guide you through our core practices, plus a 10-part email series looking under the hood of the nervous system at the deep code of the relational self.
Get started nowPart 1: Video Course
The Building Blocks of Embodied Intimacy
In The Building Blocks of Embodied Intimacy we show how to engage the simple, ever-present somatic resources of breath, sound, touch, and movement to regulate your nervous system and anchor yourself back into your body's empowered presence. Then we introduce how you can use the sense of 'somatic safety' this brings to create beautiful new possibilities of relating and intimacy.
The 1-hour course is made up of 9 short videos taking you through the core practices of our work.
Breath
One of the most basic bodily functions, breath is an incredible tool for quickly regulating your nervous system.
Breath connects our THINKING mind with our FEELING body...
Regulates an agitated nervous system...
Communicates to the body that it is safe...
Moves us from Sympathetic activation (Fight/Flight/Freeze) to Parasympathetic (Rest and Digest)...
Supports us to feel calmer, more spacious and present...
Sound
Did you know that by simply overcoming shyness and allowing yourself to make more SOUND you can down-regulate your entire nervous system?
Sound resonates through and vibrates the whole body...
Creates a feedback loop to connect more deeply with your own body...
Reveals your inner landscape to be heard on the outside...
Can be used it in groups to synchronise / harmonise the group field...
Is a way of us meeting through time and space and feeling “connected”...
Touch
Touch, like breath and sound, is another universal language. From early childhood on, touch is a powerful way to calm the body and feel safe again.
Touch is a universal language - a hurt child runs to a parent to be held...
Communicates "I'm here with you, as you are" and "I have your back"...
Is the antidote for being "out of touch" with our bodies...
Returns us to body and present moment...
Combined with breath and sound this generates even deeper embodied awareness and brings our energy back down into a more grounded, relaxed and open state
Movement
Trauma in our bodies becomes frozen in time. Through melting what has become solidified we become closer and closer to who we truly are.
Movement is inherent in every breath, stretch, yawn and other natural bodily expression...
Offers crucial insight into trapped trauma in the body...
Releases the trapped energy used for holding protective patterns...
Gives your animal a chance to come out of their cage!...
Is a powerful gateway into your true essence, aliveness and presence...
Part 2: Email Series
Under the Hood of the Nervous System
The teachings in our 10-part email series draw on research in neuroscience, sensorimotor psychotherapy, and other closely related theories relating to the nervous system.
The series starts by introducing some core concepts, models, and interior maps that are super useful in understanding and navigating the nervous system, before going on to introduce practical applications of these theoretical frameworks.
