Being Together: Embodied Skills for Collaboration
Upcoming Program Dates: Autumn 2024
Location: Somerset (residential) & online
This year-long program is for people who work with groups - facilitators, consultants, coaches, and culture-shapers of all kinds - who want to understand group systems through an embodied lens, and to incorporate an embodied relational skillset into the heart of their practice. In particular, this program is for those who seek to enable complexity, and to support groups to be the living, breathing, thriving ecological systems that they inherently are. The course is anchored by the questions: How does our embodied life shape the group cultures we create? How do our group cultures influence our embodiment and hence, the way we experience and express our humanity? How can a group culture become a force that nurtures and includes the best of our embodied human capacities?
Trauma, Connection, Culture
Upcoming Program Dates: Autumn 2024
Location: West Lothian, Scotland
This course is for people who work with and for communities: social-sector leaders, policy-makers, and engaged community members who want to better understand the embodied dynamics of trauma and connection and how they live and express in their organisations, institutions, and communities. The course incorporates up-to-date scientific frameworks with experiential practice to take participants on a highly personal journey with the course content (no sitting on the sidelines!). By the end of the program, participants will have a deeply-integrated understanding of trauma and connection, as well as the role of culture, which will inform how they see the communities they relate with and reveal new intervention points for change.
Body-Informed Leadership Practitioner Programme
Upcoming Program Dates: Registration is now closed.
Location: London (intensives) & online
This yearlong intensive program is for group facilitators, coaches, and culture-shapers of all kinds who want to engage an embodied relational skillset at the very heart of their practice. Participants take away a core embodied understanding and skillset that they can apply directly in their work, which enables them to partner with complexity, challenge outworn dynamics, and potentiate a more just, joyful, and interconnected world.
Upon successful completion of the course, participants will receive a certificate of Body-Informed Leadership Practitioner and will be included in the online database of practitioners.
Bodies of Power Project
Body-Informed Leadership for decolonising the bodies of our organisations and groups
Upcoming Program Dates: On request
What are the embodied dynamics at play in our group’s culture? What formulations of power and identity are they encouraging? What somatic tools and practices might we use to change our group culture at this foundational level, and how might this enable us to align with power and identity in a way that best supports our values and intentions?
This program is run upon request for organisations and groups that are actively engaging with power in their own internal culture and systems, who are experimenting to create more just, fulfilling, and effective forms of organising, and who want to learn some key somatic practices and frameworks to leverage their inquiry.
