Comment from Cheryl F. recent workshop participant:
“I just wanted to report on the belly support I continue to feel as a result of the class. I had a wild day yesterday, with some unexpected things coming up. Somehow, and in subtle ways, I felt the stability in my belly carry me through. I worked on some major stuff with my teacher in the morning and felt that the belly work allowed me to go deeper with some tough &*%^! My superego is circling overhead with this type of work, so I need to continuously defend. My belly helped me to do that all day long!
Thank you so much for your valuable work.”
Body Blogging: Level I Belly Intelligence
3.5 hour workshop in which participants begin relating to their bodies as a resource (not an object). Level I introduces key concepts and teaches skills of basic somatic practices (body centering, basic movement practices, and somatic inquiry). Its design gives a double-layer experience of the basic iterative process of the Belly Intelligence framework: Sacred Container, Dropping In, Inquiry, and Reflection. Participants leave with a better understanding of and trust in the body’s innate ability to inform us in an intelligent way.

Soma Sense: Level II Belly Intelligence
6 hour workshop that deepens presence in the body by refining basic skills while teaching methods to further the process of open-ended somatic inquiry into areas of historical conditioning, tension patterns, and rigidified beliefs and self concepts in the body. Participants experience a pathway into intimate contact with information that is stored and usually hidden in the tissue of our experience, and leave with a fresh perspective on issues the mind has relentlessly turned over and over.
Body Wisdom: Level III Belly Intelligence
Advanced Level Workshop that utilizes skills and sensibilities taught in Levels I and II and guides participants into the deep reservoir of wisdom in the body. The format provides an opportunity to move through the layers of support and information in the body and begin to tap into the multifaceted perception of our belly center. Participants get a glimpse (and sometimes more) of somatic understanding unfathomable to the ordinary mind.
LIVIN’ Body Series-NEW!
This series of Movement/Embodiment workshops are designed for those who would like to live with more sense of balance between their head and body. Most of us spend too much time in our intellectual center, thinking, planning, analyzing, worrying, and complaining – all in a way that promotes circular thinking that keeps us stuck in our present state of mind. These fun and enlivening workshops are designed to help us experience the way our bodies are just the perfect resource to keep us PRESENT in the moment at hand while giving us perspective on troubling challenges. We will engage in a variety of activities including reflection, breathing, movement, and dyadic and group activities that will help us learn to become more contactful with our physical selves. See more information below!
Retreats, specialized workshops, keynote addresses, and staff development Seminars can be custom-tailored to your group’s needs.
