Somatic Intelligence: The Practical Wisdom of the Body-Mind

This two day workshop is an introduction the integrated, instinctive and intuitive intelligence within us; an exploration of our Soma – the mind, body, emotions and spirit in their wholeness.

Through various non-strenuous activities and practices you will learn about your habitual patterns of behaving and thinking; cultivating alternatives, including exploring ways to respond to the incoming pressures of life from a place of “centre” rather than from your judgements and fears.

We will work with a selection of the following themes; centering under pressure, finding balance, effective leadership and followership, focusing energy, aligning body and mind to your outcomes and attuning to oneself and others.

We will engage in conversation and simple, yet profound, activities to explore:

• Developing a personal “centering” practice
• The wisdom of your intuition – recognising signals
• Your patterns when under stress
• Resilience and stability under pressure
• Alignment and focus
• Boundaries not barriers
• How you tend to organise yourself when in the role of leader or follower
• The capacity to tolerate paradox and uncertainty
• Patterns and tendencies in how you bring your desires and intentions into the world
• Listening to the underlying message of others and holding the space for differences

If you work as a coach you will be able to take the learning from the workshop into your work with clients.

The workshop will draw upon concepts from martial arts, mindfulness practice and “other stuff”, and will incorporate Leadership Embodiment Level 1.
