UPCOMING LIVE EVENTS

Discover the power of Somatic Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to empower yourself and your clients with evidence-based tools that confront challenges, interrupt habits, and significantly impact the healing journey. In this training, you will learn to holistically transform unhelpful patterns while simultaneously addressing the root of these challenges. You will expand your skills that draw on the connection between thoughts, emotions, sensations, and behaviors to create lasting change for yourself and your clients.

Join the Somatic Practitioner Mentorship program mentors Dr. Peter Levine, Deb Dana, Diane Pool Heller, Dr. Arielle Schwartz, Nkem Ndefo, Dr. Scott Lyons, Kai Cheng Thom, Manuela Mischke-Reeds, Staci Haines and more for this 26-hour Mentorship Program designed to enhance your capacity to bring the power of somatic therapies into your work with others.

Mentorship (and somatic supervision) are a vital way to enhance and refine your skills as a practitioner and receive guidance and support in the challenges and journeys you are facilitating with your clients.

In this transformative four-part series, Dr Levine will demonstrate a deep understanding of how complex trauma originates––and how somatic-based therapy can help clients address, process, and begin healing more quickly and effectively.

Through four 90-minute live sessions, Dr Levine will personally guide you through client demonstration videos. At every step, he will pause to explain his approach and techniques, generously sharing his wisdom. By immersing yourself in this experience, you will gain insight into a method that can be immediately integrated into your practice, enabling you to access the power of somatics to heal trauma and restore a sense of wholeness, peace and well-being.

Our human bodies, like the earth, are mostly water. Continuum is a practice that engages breath, sound and movement to restore our inherent fluidity and moving flow. This pre-solstice movement class in the Northern hemisphere’s dark time will explore how and where our light can play in our own inner landscape. Come prepared to play with the audability and emergent music of breath as an invitation to invoke your authentic ways of moving and being. Dress comfortably for movement, and please bring “nesting” materials (mats, blankets, cushions) and something to write in.

Through the lens of Polyvagal Theory, you will learn about how the vagus nerve is a bi-directional information highway between mind and body—more importantly, you will learn breath, movement, and awareness practices that become the building blocks of a life-changing daily practice. Within the first ten hours of this training you will develop an understanding of the 8-limbs of yoga for trauma recovery. We will explore key elements of polyvagal theory as applied to yoga including how to integrate vagal toning, neuroception of psychological safety, and co-regulation within the practice. Each class offers lecture, practice, and group discussion. Classes are offered on a yoga mat, however accessible modifications and chair yoga alternatives are offered.

Are you looking for a way to help your clients heal from trauma more effectively and holistically? Do you want to learn how to integrate EMDR therapy and somatic psychology in your trauma treatment practice? Or daily life as a way to process stress, release what's holding you back, and expand your resilience?

This program is designed for individuals, practitioners and educators who want to discover the power of a unified somatic approach to EMDR therapy to address and repair the psychological and physiological effects of trauma. When brought together these two cutting-edge modalities help process traumatic memories and reduce emotional distress, while reconnecting with the body and restoring a sense of safety and agency. In fact, according to Trauma expert Bessel van der Kolk, Somatic Therapy and EMDR Therapy are considered the best approaches for the treatment of trauma.
