Re-Embodiment Training is a 20 hour personal development somatic training and coaching program, offered by Amanda Franz,RSME/T, to support reclamation of and reconnection to embodied wisdom. In this precious life, we have and are bodies, with incredible wisdom woven into our cells, and lived experiences of resilience. Yet many people feel disconnected from their bodies/resilience or recognize that some of the patterns held in their bodies are no longer aligned with who and how they want to be.
Somatic movement education (re)connects the body-mind wisdom through learning and listening to the language of the body.
As somatic educators, we understand that everything we do, we do as a body, and that we are impacted by our cultural and life experiences and the systems we live within. These impacts shape our bodies themselves, as well as the ways we relate to our bodies and each other. They can disconnect people from the innate intelligence of their body, creating a culture of dis-embodiment, which directly influences our ability to have healthy relationships, homes, communities and cultures.
Re-connecting with one's bodies can awaken more aliveness, allowing choice to be made in places where it may not have been possible before.
As a one-on-one 20 hour personalized somatic program, we will craft the course together, setting goals and intentions to develop, practice, integrate and apply the skills of re-embodiment.
This training will focus on cultivating somatic intelligence through self-study and experiential education, building frameworks for why it's relevant for change, and offer guidance and accountability for creating personal somatic practices.
Together we'll ask the questions:
- How have you been shaped?
- What wants to grow in you? What are you yearning for?
- What supports that growth?
We will learn new frameworks for understanding the body, through nervous system education and re-storying basic human body mechanics. We will pull, as needed, from different fields of knowledge such as neuroscience, anatomy, movement bio-mechanics, interpersonal neurobiology, somatic awareness & mindfulness practices, organization and habit building techniques, systems thinking, permaculture, being trauma informed & resilience building frameworks, abolitionism, anti-oppression informed frameworks, and animism & ancestral reconnection frameworks.
We will infuse the course with different somatic modalities such as Axis Syllabus, Authentic Movement, Body Mind Centering (embodied anatomy and neurological developmental movement patterns), the Strozzi Institue model, Collab leadership models, authentic relating, contact improvisation, clowning, physical theater, and Joanna Macy's " the Work that Reconnects".
Course includes trauma-informed somatic coaching, hands-on bodywork, personal practice development, nervous system & anatomy education, and movement re-patterning.
As with any work that involves deep listening of the body/self, this class promises to be gentle yet powerful.
