About the Workshop
Join us for a two-day immersive workshop dedicated to restoring the essential thread linking body and mind — the Inner Cord. Through trauma-informed methods, somatic practices, accessible yoga, embodied inquiry, and reflective processes rooted in the principles of Chinese medicine and felt sense awareness, we will co-create a nourishing space to gently reconnect with wholeness, grounding, and inner flow.
At the heart of this journey lies the somatic formula of Sensing – Feeling – Action, supported by the Taoist perspective of the body as a living, breathing landscape of Qi (life force) — always moving, always seeking harmony:
Sensing what is happening within the body — the flow or stagnation of Qi
Feeling the emotional tone, energetic texture, and meaning of that sensation
Choosing Action that supports the return to internal balance and authenticity
Being held in a trauma-informed space and therapeutic presence.
When this inner dialogue flows freely, we experience vitality, presence, and resilience. This workshop offers a gentle invitation to repair and reawaken that flow — physically, emotionally, and energetically.
What We’ll Explore:
- Sensing – Feeling – Action as a foundational somatic and energetic process for embodied presence
- Interoceptive Awareness: deepening the ability to listen to the -body’s inner landscape — the messages of the organs, the pathways of the meridians, and the flow of Qi
- The Inner Cord & the Meridians: reconnecting with the natural directions of energy in the body — up and down, in and out — like the Lung’s inhale and the Kidney’s grounding
- Elemental Balance: drawing from the Five Elements (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water) to explore emotional tone and somatic movement
- Organ-Emotion Wisdom: gently exploring how the body stores emotional memory — such as grief in the Lungs or fear in the Kidneys — and offering somatic tools for release and integration
- Somatic Walk – Embodying Kinship with Nature: an immersive, -guided walk to foster embodied connection with the more-than-human world, exploring the felt sense of belonging within nature’s living landscape.
This workshop provides a grounding, supportive space to realign with the innate intelligence of your body and energy system.
