SUMMARY:Nourishing The Water Element & Kidney Energy ~ a collaboration with Sarah Byrden
DESCRIPTION:Nourishing \nWater Element \n& \nKidney Energy\nDestiny\, Dreamtime\, and the Foundation of Life\nPrimal Gesture & Archetypal Qigong\na collaboration\nwith \nSarah Byrden\nNO RECORDING \n\nphoto sergey pestered  – unsplash\nOur Kidney energy is quite literally the root of our entire life force\, and an expression of the Water Element in Chinese Medicine. From this well flows our sexual energy\, the deep dreams we were born to bring to bear\, the marrow of our very bones\, and the waters from which we come and one day will return to. Our Kidneys become depleted when we are stressed\, manifesting fear\, lack of energy\, and a loss of faith in life itself. There is no ability to move into the new growth of Spring if our Kidneys are tapped. Join us for a 2-hour movement class to nourish our Kidneys and the Water Element through primal gesture and archetypal qigong forms. \n \n\nSarah Byrden has been a somatic practitioner\, educator and  wilderness guide for over 20 years. She is a two time TEDx presenter\,  has dedicated over 2 decades to deep study and apprenticeship in western and non-western modalities\, and teaches from her own life-long journey in the realms that she offers. She is the founder of The Elemental Self\, and offers her students pathways to remember themselves\, the web in which they belong\, their innate capacities to move and be moved by a Source beyond conditioning.

SUMMARY:ReWilding Animal Body: Waking Up Our Senses
DESCRIPTION:Just as every coherent animal in the wild kingdom sends messages\,\nhumans\, like all mammals\, gesture with the twitch of an ear\, a gleam in the eye\, a hair standing on end\, an arc of the spine.\nIgnoring the wild nature of psoas can be very dangerous.  \n~ stalking wild psoas: embodying your core intelligence \n\nPresented April 2022. The video recording is available by purchasing a ticket below. \n\n \n\n\n\n\n\nTracking is the honing of internal and external sensory skills that help us sniff out when something doesn’t feel right. A trust that grows proportionally to developing our perceptual system’s “ways of seeking and extracting information about the environment from the flowing array of ambient energy.” Engaging\, exploring\, as well as being challenged and pushing back is the self-organizing intelligence that brings us toward core balance. Our animal body knows the truth of the matter and becomes the source for locating self within the larger world. \n\nPerception is one kind of\, and indeed the primordial\, and fundamental\, type of knowledge.\nFor the senses are our only source of informational input from the world;\nwithout them we could know nothing.\n \n\n\n\nMarjorie Grene\, “The Understanding of Nature: Essays in the Philosophy of Biology “ Philosophy of Science\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOur senses are living organs intended to receive communications.\nThey connect us to\, interweave us with\, the stream of informational energy that comes to us every moment of every day.\n \n\n\n\nStephen Harrod Buhner\, The Secret Teachings of Plants: The Intelligence of the Heart in the Direct Perception of Nature. \n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Stalking Wild Psoas: Womb To World with Anna Verwaal on Zoom
DESCRIPTION:The Journey that Shapes Our Life\n\nJoin Liz Koch and Anna Verwaal for this most extraordinary process oriented workshop \ncombining research\, personal exploration and movement.\n\nMore than four decades of findings in the field of pre-and-perinatal psychology has shown that the moment of conception\, the time in our mothers’ womb\, and how we are born are foundational experiences that affect us for the rest of our lives. Our health\, belief system\, fears\, and ability to form healthy relationships are profoundly shaped by early non-verbal\, emotional\, and somatic imprints created during this primal period. \nThis online workshop is for anyone seeking to explore and understand how conception\, prenatal experience\, and birth-related imprints might still play out in their day-to-day life. \nAnna and Liz work collaboratively to provide a comprehensive container of information\, personal experiences\, and nourishment in order to create a space to explore preverbal memories without experiencing cathartic reenactments.    \nEach day will include a specially prepared audio-visual presentation\, a guided movement exploration\, and a break-out room sharing session and/or creative processing session through artwork. Anna will help participants recognize their own early imprints and how they may be related to their conception\, prenatal period\, or birth experience. Using micro-movement and sound-breath techniques\, Liz will help participants access fluid movement to dissolve\, integrate\, and awaken. \nGroup Size: 20 \n\nA creative collaboration: \nInternational Pre & Perinatal Educator Anna Verwaal\, combines the latest findings in the field of pre and perinatal psychology with her decades of preconception to post-natal counseling and professional work experience in all areas of maternal-child health. Anna weaves her extensive personal and professional experience\, with her stunning photography and storytelling to help you understand the long-term effects of your own conception\, time in your mother’s womb\, birth experience and early postnatal experience in order to discover how these experiences might still be affecting you physically\, emotionally\, and relationally. If your conception was unplanned\, your birth induced\, or you were born with a tight umbilical cord around your neck or spent time in an incubator\, you might feel more like you are surviving than thriving. But this does not have to be the way forward. Experience how becoming conscious of your earliest imprints can improve the relationship with yourself\, with loved ones\, and how it can help support your human potential and creative expression throughout life.  \nInternational Author & Somatic Educator Liz Koch focuses on integrating your somatic expressions and experiences as you witness Verwaal’s photographs of the interventions and life experiences that babies have lived through and begin remembering your own birth story.  Liz brings her 45 years as a somatic educator to encourage integration and innovation. Using subtle primal movements you’ll begin to dissolve personal dynamics of conception\, womb memory\, and birth impressions held and expressed within cellular memory without eliciting cathartic reactions. Holding a container of nourishment our prenatal imprints\, which may be playing out in a variety of expressions are able to find resolution. You will discover how insistent patterns reveal your life assumptions\, strategies\, and desires. Using micro-movement and sound-breath you’ll access fluid movements to dissolve\, integrate\, and awaken. Revitalizing the very core of your being to restore and nourish our full capacity for becoming dynamic\, creative\, heartfelt beings.   \nBiographies:\nAnna Verwaal\, RN\, CLE is a maternal-child health nurse\, conscious conception & birth consultant\, primal period educator\, midwife & doula instructor\, UCLA certified lactation educator and birth photographer from the Netherlands.  After a 25-year nursing career in various countries in obstetric\, pediatric\, neonatal hospital care\, and home-health settings\, working with families and babies as an educator/consultant Anna started her own private birth consulting practice. Anna is the presenter of a TEDx Talk by the same name\, travels internationally giving lectures to groups and conventions\, as well as offering workshops to professionals and laypeople about the long-term effects of the conception/prenatal/birth experience\, the hormonal physiology of childbirth\, breastfeeding\, bonding\, and the deeply psychological\, emotional and spiritual aspects of giving birth. Anna is a long-term member of APPPAH\, the Association of Pre and Perinatal Psychology & Health. \n\nLiz Koch  is an international educator\, author\, and creator of CoreAwareness™ focusing on awareness as key for developing human potential and awakening consciousness. With 45 years experience specializing in the human core\, Liz is recognized in the somatic\, bodywork\, and fitness professions as an authority on the core tissue called the Psoas.  Both nationally and internationally published\, her works include The Psoas Book\, Unraveling Scoliosis CD\, Core Awareness; Enhancing Yoga\, Pilates\, Exercise & Dance\, Psoas & Back Pain CD\, Mother\, Maiden\, Crone: Our Pleasure Playlist and her new book  Stalking Wild Psoas: Embodying Your Core Intelligence (2019 North Atlantic Books) \n\n  \n  \nCANCELLATION POLICY:  FINAL – Please read my complete cancellation policy available online before registering.  Online Courses may not be cancelled once you have received access to the course. \nNational Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage & Bodywork (NCBTMB) Approved \nThis is approved by the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage & Bodywork for 18 hours of continuing education credit (CEU).

SUMMARY:Weights & Fluid Movement
DESCRIPTION:“The primary characteristic of any fluid system is in its ability to keep transforming itself.” \nEmilie Conrad \nExploring the use of weights in movement\,  as both a support and an energizing effect on our fluid system\, is the focus of this class. \nBy hydrating all tissue including the juicy psoas our potential for increasing strength and resiliency is benefited by exploring weight.  \n \nVal Loeffner modeled for Core Awareness: Enhancing Yoga Pilates Exercise & Dance \nand teaches jungle gym classes https://innerdance.com/class-descriptions/ \nIMPORTANT: Each person will explore at their own pace and only with a small amount of weight to activate the juicy psoas. Please come prepared with small arm and ankle weights (see photos below) .  If you also happen to have a weighted vest or weighted waist belt please bring it along to show off more possibilities. \nDISCLAIMER: I am not associated with the Continuum Teachers Association or with www.Continuummovement.com.  I was a student and colleague of Emilie Conrad.  I had the opportunity to work with her\, teach together\, and explore her ideas in writing (see Dem Bones article). What I will be teaching is a personal integrated approach  to playing with weights and movement to hydrate the juicy psoas.  \nNOTE: The photo’s below are borrowed from the Continuum Teachers Associated website: https://www.continuumteachers.com/about/playground  –  I highly recommend the site for finding ongoing classes in Continuum Play (i.e. Jungle Gym) all around the world.  The purpose of the following photos is to show an example of arm and ankle weights that you can purchase at Fitness/Sports stores and big box stores such as Target.  Slide on or Wrap Around (velcro) styles work well.   \n \n \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Embodied Yoga Summit ~ Juicy Psoas
DESCRIPTION:Join me Sunday April 25th \n \n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\nJ U I C Y   P S O A S \n\n\n\n\n\nRe~Wilding Core Expression \nAt the very core of our being is a river of bio-intelligence and a primal tissue called psoas that flows out as a messenger of agency and core integrity. By striving for control\, perfection\, and superiority over our core expression\, our psoas becomes captured and recruited resulting not only in exhaustion but also a constricted\, dry tissue. Rewilding psoas is a journey of dissolving our willful engagement of the upper psoas in order to embody our bones by returning once again to root deep within and back down to the ground. \nIn this session\, you will: \n\n\nRe-imagine Psoas beyond bio-mechanical language to sense the core tissue as a bio-intelligent messenger \n\n\nExperience the value of micro-movements to hydrate spinal vertebrae and connective tissue for gaining lush juicy psoas \n\n\nDiscover how skeletal proprioception supports neuro-coherency ground fluid psoas and ignite core integrity. \n\n\n\n\n\n5am PDT (Los Angeles) / 8am EDT (New York) / 1pm GMT (London) / 2pm CET (Paris) / 10pm AEST (Sydney)

SUMMARY:Race & Body: Dissolving Whiteness in Core Expression ~ A Collaboration with Kimberly Ann Johnson
DESCRIPTION:Race & Body \nDissolving Whiteness in Core Expression \nA Workshop for “White” Women \n \n  \nphoto credit Allyssa Olaviar (unsplash) \nHow does primal expression change our perception and our response to ourselves\, and others\, specifically as it applies to race?  \nHow do we work with our responses to being in the category of “white women” \nand what does it means to be an individual within the group? \nHow can we learn to track individual truths and structural truths within our animal bodies? \nOur wild animal bodies are capable of sensing and moving deeply and in so doing we become conscious of the insidious ways colonization is held and communicated within our flesh and bone. We may squirm and distract ourselves\, but we have what it takes to dissolve these century-old impulses to cage\, control\, and power over  ~ to reclaim our inner Wild and to foster an antiracist culture.  \nWhat “white” posturing and performative expression share in common is a compartmentalization of body splitting us from our felt-sense emotions\, gut instincts\, and essential vitality. This power-over response built in to the Western approach shows up in yoga\, Pilates\, dance\, and fitness.  The idealized white body becomes the standard for which all other bodies are measured. Yet this column of strength is often a “frozen” spine limiting our potential and our capacity for coherent expression.   \n \nPhoto credit: Clem Onojeghuo-unsplash \n By using bio-intelligent fluid movements and sound\, we venture into disassociated responses\, and feelings of fragility to recognize the ancestral rigidity defended within “white-posturing.” Following these primal impulses dissolves distortions while nourishing life-enhancing gestures and expressions. Through insight\, journaling\, and tracking we attend to our authentic self\, discovering different responses than those Western Culture provide for us.  Claiming agency we can participate in co-creating and re-imagining ourselves and our values in the context of race\, justice\, and equity.     \nWe will attend to the questions: \nWhen\, how\, and why do I control myself? \nHow do I move if I am not told what to do? \n  \n \nKimberly Ann Johnson is the author of the  The Fourth Trimester. and her soon to be release Call Of The Wild (due out in April 2021). She is a Sexological Bodyworker\, Somatic Experiencing trauma resolution practitioner\, birth doula\, and single mom. She specializes in helping women prepare for birth\, recover from birth injuries and birth trauma\, and heal from sexual trauma.  She is the founder of Magamama.com\, an international holistic women’s health care resource for expectant and new mothers. A lifelong yoga student and teacher\, Kimberly has lead workshops throughout Thailand\, Malaysia\, Brazil\, Portugal and the US on the intersection of women’s sexuality and spirituality. After living in Brazil for eight years\, she currently resides in San Diego\, CA and teaches Activating Your Inner Jaguar courses online.  \n  \n  \nLiz Koch  is an international educator\, author\, mother\, crone\, and creator of CoreAwareness™ focusing on awareness as key for developing human potential and awakening consciousness. With 45 years experience specializing in the human core\, Liz is recognized in the somatic\, bodywork\, and fitness professions as an authority on the core tissue called Psoas.  Both nationally and internationally published\, her works include The Psoas Book\, Unraveling Scoliosis CD\, Core Awareness; Enhancing Yoga\, Pilates\, Exercise & Dance\, Psoas & Back Pain CD; Mother\, Maiden\, Crone: Our Pleasure Playlist and her most recent release (2019) Stalking Wild Psoas: Embodying Your Core Intelligence. \n  \n

DESCRIPTION:REPARATIVE COMMUNAL CONSULTATION \nFOR WHITE PEOPLE\n \nPart 4\nA VIRTUAL FUNDRAISER\nSponsored by Education For Racial Equality \nto help create an embodied anti-racist/anti-oppression culture for future generations of BIPOC children.\n \nWITH AUTHOR SOMATIC EDUCATOR RESMAA MENAKEM\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIMPORTANT NOTE: If you wish to attend you need to know this fundraiser is an on going proces and so you will need to receive  Part 1\,2\, & 3 to be able to join us on Part 4. \nIf you wish to attend please contact events@educationforracialequity.com.\nResmaa is looking to create a collaborative e-course to support the Movement Of Somatic Abolitionism. \nThe Movement Of Somatic Abolitionism is a body of work which establishes the underpinnings the emergence of a new culture: one that is safe for future generations of Black\, Brown and Indigenous babies and children. This funding will go towards creating a embodied anti-racist/oppression curriculum and free online e-course for community members parents and teachers of culture first\, who provide K-12 guidance. We believe that this will have a foundational impact on Black\, Brown\, and Indigenous Children and there lives. Together\, Resmaa Menakem and Education For Racial Equity \, along with other subject matter experts will also create a educational certification program that will develop the best somatic abolitionists educators\, healers\, and movement leaders of our time; they will lead with the understanding of Black\, Brown\, and Indigenous children\, white body supremacy\, racial weathering\, geopathic stress\, toxic stress\, and they will preserve the resilience and power of the communities which these children come from. This will be made available to community members\, parents and teachers of culture first and then to others across the United States. Help us create a culture change centered in healing and dignity.  \n\n\nResmaa Menakem ~ Healer\, Author\, Trauma Specialist\nMoving from race to culture is important\, transformative\, and takes work. A lot of work. I help people\, communities\, and organizations find strength in healing that is holistic and resilient. Together let’s set a course for healing historical and racialized trauma carried in the body and the soul. I am a healer. I help people rise through the suffering’s edge. I am a cultural trauma navigator. I am a communal provocateur and coach.

SUMMARY:CORE PSOAS: Regaining Coherency Through Primal Gestures
DESCRIPTION:CORE PSOAS \nRegaining Coherency Through Restorative Primal Gestures\nhttps://theembodimentconference.org/#LizKoch\n \n \n  \nCORE PSOAS: Regaining Coherency Through Primal Gestures   \nwith Liz Koch \nResolution and resiliency are found not in getting rid of trauma or releasing psoas\, but through the nourishing capacity to assimilate and integrate\, which grows a coherent sense of core embodiment. \nAlthough trauma is often thought to be the means and measure for transformation and even profound wisdom only when we are in a parasympathetic wave rhythm do we metabolize our experiences and evoke curiosity and creativity. Longing to play\, for example is a gesture that transcends trauma. \nThrough simple primal gestures we will explore core psoas as a bio-intelligent messenger of safety and coherency. \nExpressive and dynamic\, discover how your psoas as messenger informs you about safety and thriving.  Just as every coherent animal in the wild sends messages\, humans\, like all mammals\, gesture with the twitch of an ear\, a gleam in the eye\, a hair standing on end\, an arc of the spine. Regaining or growing coherency always begins with a lush juicy psoas.

SUMMARY:2-Hr Moving White(ness) Collaboration with Natasha Stovall PhD (ZOOM)
DESCRIPTION:“The couch in my therapy office is occupied mostly by white people. Anxious white people and depressed white people. Obsessive white people and compulsive white people. White people who hurt people and white people who hurt themselves. White people who eat too much\, drink too much\, work too much\, shop too much. White people who are bored\, envious\, guilty\, numb. Racist white people and antiracist white people. White people who look across the room and see a white therapist listening. We talk about everything. Except being white.” \n~ Natasha Stovall – Whiteness on the Couch  ~ \n                                                                                                                                              Photo Credit sep–ecxmibgssdm unsplash  \nJoin Somatic educator Liz Koch & clinical Psychologist Natasha Stovall in a 2-hour exploration of our white-ness from both a personal\, social\, physical and even a pandemic perspective. How do we create and live with a newly coherent narrative of ourselves as white bodies and white people? What sort of changes in our selves and in our actions would it take to “live our whiteness” in a new and different\, non-oppressive and less oppressed way?  \nJUNE FOCUS\nExploring Upper Psoas Tension: Expressions of Unintended/Unacknowledged Dissonance \n \nPhoto credit: Clem Onojeghuo-unsplash \nUsing biologically-intelligent movements we will venture into the “frozen” disassociated responses within our own core and invite ourselves to dissolve the historically defended rigidity found within the “white-posturing” spine to discover our inner sense of self as living beings.  Through conceptual and embodiment practices we will awaken a different consciousness from the one society has provided us.                                                                                                                                                      \nAs we begin to dissolve the insistence within the the objectified body we may integrate and participate in a larger conversation of human existence. By creating a multi-layered understanding of our white experience we offer the opportunity to alter the ways cultural whiteness damages our selves\, our fellow human beings\, and life on earth. As we begin imaging reparative ways of being we can create opportunities to generate healing for our world\, our ancestors\, and all future generations. \n  \nNatasha Stovall Ph.D. is a clinical psychologist in private practice working with adults\, adolescents and children. Her essays and cultural criticism have appeared in The New York Times\, Rolling Stone\, and Spin. Her most recent essay\, “Whiteness on the Couch”\, appeared in Longreads in August 2019. \n  \n  \n  \n  \nLiz Koch  is an international educator\, author\, and creator of CoreAwareness™ focusing on awareness as key for developing human potential and awakening consciousness. With 40 years experience specializing in the human core\, Liz is recognized in the somatic\, bodywork\, and fitness professions as an authority on the core tissue called Psoas.  Both nationally and internationally published\, her works include The Psoas Book\, Unraveling Scoliosis CD\, Core Awareness; Enhancing Yoga\, Pilates\, Exercise & Dance\, Psoas & Back Pain CD and Mother\, Maiden\, Crone: Our Pleasure Playlist and her new book  Stalking Wild Psoas: Embodying Your Core Intelligence published in 2019 by North Atlantic Books. \n

SUMMARY:Biodynamic Entrepreneurs: Weaving a Life of Coherency
DESCRIPTION:My life’s work emerged from a deep wandering ~ to become an outcrop of sorts in a wilderness of possibilities. I never set out to be an educator\, (although I did have a desire to teach\, and an impulse to be a missionary). The point being is that the uncommon and uncanny way my professional life emerged came not from following others but from a deep listening to an authentic presence that moved me. \nWoven into a full life\, my professional and business DBA has resulted in a life sustaining work that supports and allows me a lifestyle that feels \nakin and congruent with my soul. \nSo how did I “do – dew” that?  And what are the ways to nourish a flourishing life of coherency?  \nI invite you to join me for this 2 hour conversation with the intention of seeding your core integrity\, \ntrusting your deep knowing\, \nand making a path of your own choosing. \n \n

SUMMARY:FLUID CORE ~ A Way Out of Freezing Fear (via Zoom)
DESCRIPTION:F L U I D  C O R E \nA Way Out of Freezing Fear \nMAY 7th \n(2-Hr Movement Class via Zoom) \n \nFear is the only instinct that has the power to immobilize us. As an involuntary muscle\, psoas as part of the sympathetic neuro-core* is both a primal mover of our core integrity and part of our fear response.  When we misuse our psoas we ultimately end up energetically depleting our life force and physiologically stressing our adrenals. The upper psoas located in the solar plexus is often referred to in Traditional Chinese Medicine as the “will center\,” is the home of our adrenal glands and our immune system. These glands rest on top of our kidneys while our kidneys float on the juicy psoas.  Both adrenals and kidneys are energetically associated with our vitality. Returning the core to its natural fluid and expressive nature is a subtle but beneficial strategy for dissolving old patterns for achieving safety. When we regain our fluid spine and soften our upper psoas\, rather than manipulate our core\, we offer our kidney/adrenals a juicy\, fluid\, and dynamic support.\nSimultaneously we claim our birthright by discovering our deep-rooted sense of ground within the belly core that is so profoundly nourishing. Moving from within our very bones allows life to support us. By living on the axis of our core\, we nourish a harmonious relationship with gravity that enables us to stand our ground while wholeheartedly expressing our true selves. That is\, we show up fully in life. \nLiz Koch  is an international educator\, author\, and creator of CoreAwareness™ focusing on awareness as key for developing human potential and awakening consciousness.
