Somatic Wisdom as a Path of Inner Awakening
Somatic Wisdom as a Path of Inner Awakening
These unprecedented times place extraordinary demands on the body, often resulting in stress, overwhelm, pain, and chronic illness. Yet beneath the pace and toxicity of modern life, the body retains an ancient intelligence that can guide us back to balance, vitality, and clarity.
This experiential course invites students to listen deeply to the body through somatic awareness. Drawing on Depth Hypnosis Spiritual Counseling, Applied Shamanism, and Integrated Energy Medicine, participants learn how sensation, emotion, and illness communicate deeper inner experiences.
Through guided meditation and somatic inquiry, we explore practices that reveal root causes of dis-ease, release unresolved patterns, and restore the body’s natural capacity for self-regulation. Designed for both beginners and experienced practitioners, this trauma-informed course offers a supportive space to engage the body as teacher, healer, and spiritual ally. Well suited for clinicians, healers, and students, it provides a supportive space to engage with the body as teacher, healer, and spiritual ally—inviting participants into a more authentic, connected, and embodied way of being.
What you’ll experience:
• A deeper ability to listen to the body’s subtle signals as gateways to insight and healing
• Guided somatic practices that cultivate presence, safety, and embodied awareness
• Direct experience of how sensation, emotion, and physical symptoms communicate inner states
• Gentle methods for uncovering and releasing unresolved patterns held in the body
• A growing sense of trust in the body’s innate intelligence and self-healing capacity
• An experiential understanding of the body as teacher, healer, and spiritual ally
This course consists of:
• Four 90-minute live weekly classes
• Two articles included as recommended reading
• Lectures and guided meditations to deepen understanding of course material
