The Embodied Spirit: Integratigration of Mind, Body, Brain and Spirit & the Emergence of…

Catalog description

Emerging research demonstrates the integration of science and spirituality; specifically the physiological basis for mindfulness practice. Expanding on these findings, this workshop is designed to explore mind/body/spirit integration utilizing the chakra system as a framework for understanding the ways that various aspects of our human experience manifest through our physical form. Students will explore somatic therapeutic techniques including tracking, somatic resourcing, non-verbal attunement, and somatic countertransference as ways to integrate their learning into the clinical setting. Students will have the opportunity to explore these concepts through reading and reflection as well as experiential practices (including dyadic work) that directly access the body’s innate wisdom including movement, sound, and breath work.
