In the Body as Resource series, you will experience guided practices and supportive materials that enrich the process of self awareness and transform limiting patterns that no longer serve what you want now. Through body-mind practices, you will clarify what is behind your No! and make space for your full body YES! to thrive.

Body as Resource is a 101 on body + brain interconnection. No previous experience is necessary, just commitment to your own holistic self care.

Through intentional focus within our body and breath, we can cultivate unity in how we feel, what we want, and what we dream. Each class will incorporate grounding through your feet and nervous system, tapping into your subtle body with breath, specific gestures, and cellular consciousness, and energizing your vitality with improvised movement that stokes your creative agency. Only experience necessary is human being. So, you got it. Yes!

We all have the capacity to get to know our nervous system, our breath, our energy, and our patterns of thinking and being. This series will offer opportunities to delve more deeply into your dynamic Self to cultivate energetic awareness, healing, and transformation within the container of an inclusive and compassionately held space.

This 6-month series is designed for students who are interested in deepening awareness and understanding of how your subtle body and energetic patterning relates to your experience of aliveness and connection in daily life! For practitioners, it can be an experiential resource for broadening your psycho-somatic tools for use in professional practice and self-care.

Garner deep awareness of the underpinnings to how you use or block your energy. Bioenergetics is a way of understanding personality and life situations through the body and energetic processes. We will explore Bioenergetic philosophy, exercises, and ways to track our patterns of thinking, being, and interacting with the world.

A class designed to enhance physical and energetic integration, clarity and vitality. Classes will combine elements of yoga and meditation with bioenergetic exercises. Bioenergetic exercises are designed to invite deeper understanding in the body’s energetic processes by getting in touch with where tension, energy, and emotion are held in the body and then releasing contraction through intentional breath and movement. The exercises are simple in posture, but can produce radiant vibrations that tune in to the complexity and simplicity of what one needs at their core. The exercises can open contact with sincere reflection, inner integrity and radical aliveness.

Are you ready to dive deeper into your writing practice and connect with others in community? Are you willing to explore your vulnerable interior spaces with clarity and empathy? This transformative retreat will examine our shifting identities as women and the legacies we’ve inherited from our families. Together we will free-write from prompts, listen as we share aloud, and experiment with writing from multiple points of view. Paired with each writing session, we will also deepen our inner awareness and connection with mindful breathing, meditation, and movement exercises.

Facilitated by Anne Liu Kellor and Alycia Scott Zollinger.

Core Breath is an experiential workshop that weaves the integration of mindful breath awareness and intention within the therapeutic processes of Core Energetics. Participants will be guided through a compassionate process of tapping into the subtle body through breath, energetic consciousness and intentional movement.  Conscious awareness of our being can heighten through mindful cognizance of the way our breath flows, ebbs, is blocked or held. This heightened perception is a nexus of consciousness and matter via a direct experience of our embodied presence and a felt sense of our nervous system. By mindfully tuning into breathing while enduring a process of body-psychotherapy, this conscious awareness creates an embodiment that can facilitate a more rapid penetration of our outer skin/mask, while percolating the soils of our core self. The workshop will highlight specific considerations for integral alignment and breathing awareness in the process of supporting, enlivening and recuperating the mind-body-spirit connection.
