Somatic Expression Training Program

Not currently scheduled;
contact Jamie for more information.

The 200-hour Somatic Expression Training Program is a person-centered, in-depth exploration of the practices and protocols of the Somatic Expression approach to somatic education. The five technologies of somatic experience will be used for accessing our innate body wisdom and for enhancing individual expression. The group process creates a container for exploring being inside ourselves and with others simultaneously, generating more spontaneity and authenticity in relationship. The group over time also creates support for the deepening of the five element practices.

These resources are applicable to the healing arts, spiritual practice, integrative education, and personal growth. The intensive group is designed for people desiring a more educated, enlivened and relaxed relationship with their bodies. It is ideal for therapists, educators, yoga and fitness instructors, bodyworkers, and healthcare professionals seeking additional maps and methods for embodiment.
