Program Highlights

Deepen Personal Practice

Reliable, lasting change comes when practice and training are relevant and lifelong. This 9 month immersion takes us deeper as we continue the work of recognizing the constant layering over our beginnings, and then chip away at the strategies that no longer serve us. Any lifelong learning path eventually brings us face to face with the histories we have embodied. It requires commitment, care, and courage.  to peel back these layers to allow deeper motivations to emerge and empower our unique gifts.

Although we can change our words, changing our habits takes practice that includes body, emotions, and language....our whole being.  Learning together within a cohort community environment accelerates the learning. It is within the fullness of relationship where we are challenged and guided to become more open and compassionate,  All of our sessions honor the time and space needed for cultivating inner resourcefulness, and self-acceptance.  Such immersive work can be unsettling AND it can become a homecoming that is well worth the effort.  

Embody Your Leadership 

Taking time for communion with our deepest knowing is essential because we are all beautiful in our depths. When we can do it together, such processes are accelerated.  We all must lead our own lives. Each one of us is a teacher and a learner. From intimate relationships to building needed bridges out in the world, these changing times are calling us to lead, to rise up in more honest, courageous, and empathic ways. A transformative leader is one who engages a greater personal vision and who can authentically lead with compassion. This program builds such competencies.  With Somatic Consensus practice there are always new thresholds to cross in personal and professional development.  As we discover the true essence of ourselves, we become more of a healing, connective, and empowering presence. The integration of Somatic Consensus’ body and emotional awareness practices and the brilliant linguistic skills of Nonviolent Communication, and the harmonizing art of Aikido, help to align purpose and meaning with masterful action to design futures and take actions that fulfill on them.

Cultivate Community Wherever You Go

The inspiration underlying Somatic Consensus program is the reclamation of Community in all its fullness. Training ourselves in community cultivates our own self-respect, respect for others, and ultimately respect for all of life. Learning within a cohort setting can guide us to listen better, explore beyond ourselves, be responsible for our connections, more effectively fulfill our commitments, and embody new, generative ways of being. 

The embodiment of skills and presence that the practice of community requires can be felt in our presence, who we are as we show up. Like draws like. Leadership presence that embodies the ways of generative community is what we need to meet the challenges and hopes of our times to leave our communities and the world more vital.
