Phase 2: Grow roots

This is a 150 hour training that takes place online and in person over 6 months

This is a journey through the densities of our human architecture. Through embodied anatomy, embryology and in depth philosophical study we will begin to peel back the layers to reveal the magic of how our bodies hold the philosophy, and how our inner world reflects the outer. In each session there will be opportunities to learn in different ways, from lectures to practice and group discussion, always returning to your own direct experience and using your facilitation practice as part of the learning process.

throughout the 6 month training we will weave and consolidate topics from the previous training, and in addition dive into:

Embodied Anatomy

A journey through the densities of our human architecture as we journey through the various systems of the body to get an embodied understanding the body in motion.

Embryology

Exploring how our original design meets function in our adult moving bodies.

Felt sense philosophy

A detailed exploration of key non-dual tantric texts woven through contemporary literature and the felt sense for integrated understanding.

Human architecture in motion

How has our understanding of human anatomy evolved over time and where are we now? Understanding bio-motional movement dynamics and updating our understanding of movement principles to reflect an integrated anatomical perspective.

Somatic sequencing

Broadening our movement vocabulary, creating contexts where organic and original movement reveals itself, organising ideas into creative, intelligent sequences. Building curriculums: how to develop an ongoing educational experience for your students, threading overarching themes, and building ideas to weave an ongoing learning process so that you and your students to grow together.

The psychology of teaching

Developing a more nuanced understanding of the challenges that come up in teaching and how we can use our teaching experience as part of our own ongoing awareness practice.

The biology of perception

In depth exploration of our brain, perception and how interoceptive practices influence how we experience ourselves and the world. Waking up our own senses as facilitators to hone our sensitive intelligence for more intuitive space holding.

Trauma awareness

Cultivating a trauma aware and inclusive facilitation practice through a deep understanding of the nervous system, and building skills to work with unique human bodies with clarity and confidence.

“I’ve learned to listen in for my inner teacher, and gradually build trust with her, so I can cultivate my own artistry without comparison. I’m less invested in perfection and more interested in feeling and authenticity. I can ground myself during a class and sit in more silence. I can divert from my plan and read the room more. I can practice teaching as a practice of awareness itself. ”

— Tabitha Owen
