Wisdom of the Body: Healing Through Somatic Movement and Meditation

An 8-Week Course on Thursdays from 12-1:30pm
October 2nd through November 20th

Classes held at NeuroGrove
5511 W 56th Ave. Unit 100
Arvada, CO 80002

Note: Registration is for all 8 classes.

Are you inspired by NeuroGrove's integrative approach to healing and interested in more self-care practices that tap into your innate powers for continued growth and transformation? This training introduces a series of evidence-based somatic movement and meditation practices to help you connect with the intelligence and resourcefulness of your body. Over the course of the eight-week curriculum, you will be guided through meditations, talks, group discussions, and at-home daily practices that will help you access a vast store of wisdom, healing, and transformation within your mind and body.

Key themes will include:

• Self-care for stress and anxiety
• Somatic practices that promote the alleviation of symptoms related to anxiety, PTSD, brain injuries, addiction, learning disorders, ADHD, and other cognitive-emotional challenges
• An at-home meditation practice aligned with neuroscientific data and therapeutic principles
• The development of interoception (the ability to sense signals from the body) for healing "from the inside"
• Awareness and releasing of areas of tension, blockage, and constriction
• Cultivation of the intuitive knowing of the "felt sense"
• Skillful expression and integration of difficult emotions
• Openness, acceptance, and loving-kindness towards uncomfortable sensations
• Cultivation of the Somatic "Self" in healing "parts" within an Internal Family Systems framework
• Earth-based grounding practices
• Rest and recovery through stillness

Our general approach will involve learning how to meet the body with gentleness, receptivity, flexibility, and care. Rather than striving to accomplish "healing goals," we will explore how to listen to the body's messages as trustworthy wisdom in our journeys toward integration, wholeness, acceptance, and love.

The cost for the 8-week course is $185 ($23/session).
