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. I consider it my job in this moment to make the invisible visible. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCarlin Quinn\, LMFT (She/Her) is the Founder and Director of Education For Racial Equity. She is also a psychotherapist\, equity coach\, facilitator and anti-racist co- conspirator.  Her equity work began when she entered the field of psychotherapy and realized that whiteness was foundational to the field of mental health\, its theories\, and its treatments.  She began teaching and consulting within the mental health community\, developing an understanding of the impact of systemic oppression and intersectionality to western psychology.  In her private practice she specializes in complex trauma and cross racial relationships. In her facilitation and coaching work\, Carlin uses a combination of critical race theory\, psychodynamic theory and humanistic relational approaches to help unearth and address the complexities of whiteness\, white supremacy and racial trauma in our daily human interactions. \n \n  \nLiz Koch  is an international educator\, author\, and the creator of CoreAwareness™ focusing on awareness as key for developing human potential and awakening consciousness. With 43 years experience specializing in the human core\, Liz is recognized in the somatic\, bodywork\, and fitness professions as an authority on the core primal 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 newest book  Stalking Wild Psoas: Embodying Your Core Intelligence published in 2019 by North Atlantic Books. \n\n\n\n  \n  \n\n \n  \nEducation For Racial Equity is a cross-racial and inter-generational non-profit organization committed to illuminating and dismantling the system of white supremacy\, globally. Guided by the principles of both Anti-Racism and Anti-Racist activism\, we take a multi-faceted approach to systemic change. ERE creates opportunities to develop awareness of the nature and function of whiteness/white supremacy\, its impact on all peoples\, and how it intersects with other systems of oppression. Our intention is to support integrated and embodied change within ourselves and those who work with us.

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:Fluid Improv: Play As Nourishment a Collaboration with Dr. Michael DeMaria
DESCRIPTION:fluid improv as nourishment \n~ core soul singing ~ \n \nDr. Michael DeMaria’s life turned inside out and upside down after the first decade of his professional life when he underwent a life transforming vision quest (lament in the wild) without food or water\, guided by a native teacher. He went there suffering empathy fatigue and burnout after working for many years with severe cases of child abuse as a child protection team psychologist. The experience provided a profound healing\, a course correction and gave him a vision for his life. Ever since his mission has been to help guide others to what he calls\, “The ocean of peace that lies within.”  He does this through his work as an embodied guide of the soul through music\, poetry\, art and training others in what he calls Souling™\, which has emerged out of his 4 decades of working with transformative sound based meditative\, movement and breathwork practices. \n  \nHis healing music is heard a million times a week across the world\, garnering him four Grammy® nominations\, 8 ZMR awards\, 6 #1 albums\, a Native American Music Award and appearing on the Grammy® winning album\, All About Bullies Big and Small.  He is also a Sounds True recording artist with his music being featured on projects with Eckhart Tolle\, Mark Nepo and Noah Levine. He is the author of 5 books\, 3 of which were bestsellers\, and is the creator and author of the Peace Within Process for Integrative Wellness which is the ground school for his Integrative Meditation Teacher Training. His newest book Souling: Birthing\, Weaving and Tending a Soulful Life is due out 2021.  You can find out more about his work at www.michaeldemaria.com and his free 7×7 Meditation Challenge at www.youtube.com/mbdemaria \, where his videos have over 200\,000 views in 180 countries around the world.

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. 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)

SUMMARY:RE-WILDING Psoas: Finding Your Voice ~ A Collaboration with Angelike Valster Amsterdam NL
DESCRIPTION:Although culture defines the “wild” as untamable\, feral\, out of control\, riotous\, ridiculous\, rash\, stupid\, impractical\, and tempestuous\, it is by welcoming the wild that we avoid living a domesticated\, indifferent\, and unenthusiastic life. \nEnfolding somatic awareness and biomorphic movement into our life changes not only the course of our health but the creative expression of our soul. \nRe-wilding psoas is not a sacrifice or a fix for a dilemma; rather\, it is a way with which to participate – to consciously join in\, to belong… to play.  \n \nCreating fertile territory for re-wilding psoas requires dissolving\, decomposing\, and recycling what is stagnant in order to once again let our hearts lead us into dynamic\, fresh impulses of play. In contrast to cathartic discharge\, flailing dissonance\, or dismissive amnesia\, re-wilding is a surge that can dynamically change the course of our life. No longer controlling core behavior ~ re-wilding psoas becomes an expression of renewal. \nJoining me to collaborate on re-wilding through finding our voice is Angelike Valster.  \nIf you have a voice\, you can use it to connect to your core and move any obstacle that keeps you from living your potential. \nCome and explore and listen\, it longs to be heard ! \n  \n \nAngelike Valster discovered the power of her voice some ten years ago after having explored the physical layers of emotions through haptotherapy. Her Soul Voice® journey confirmed her inner knowing that we are vibrational beings and that the voice is the strongest instrument to liberate all we have stored in our bodies. Angelike is a Soul Voice® practitioner and teacher offering private sessions and workshops. Her practice ‘de kracht van je stem’ (www.dekrachtvanjestem.nl) ‘the power of your voice’ has reached people of all ages and gender to regain their pure and authentic aliveness and creativity. \nRecommended Reading ~  This workshop is based on my new book Stalking Wild Psoas: Embodying Your Core Intelligence  \n\n “Liz Koch opens the reader to a brilliant phenomenological panorama of the human body as a shaping\, a process\, a Gestaltung—as the expression of our soul\, intelligence\, and consciousness.” \n—Jaap van der Wal\,MD PhD\, embryologist\, anatomist and (recovering) morphologist \n  \nLiz Koch\, author of Core Awareness andThe Psoas Book\,seeks to dissolve the objectification of “body” in order to reconceptualize human beings as biologically intelligent\, self-organizing\, and self-healing. Specifically addressing educators and therapists\, she delves into the conceptual framework of core by decolonizing the popular mechanistic thinking of psoas as muscle\, inviting the reader on a journey toward reengaging with life’s creative processes. The book illuminates the limitations of the predominant paradigm of body and actively explores psoas as a vital\, intelligent messenger that links us to an expansive network of profound possibilities. Employing biomorphic and embryonic paradigms\, Koch redefines psoas as smart\, expressive tissue that is both elemental and universal. Named after the her popular exploratory workshops of the same name\, Stalking Wild Psoas encourages all readers to nourish integrity and claim self-efficacy as creative and expressive individuals. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Stalking Wild Psoas: Womb To World  ~ A Collaboration with Anna Verwaal Castricum NL
DESCRIPTION:The Journey that Shapes Our Life\n Taste the Wild Waters of Wholeness\n \nexperience the world in new and curious ways! \nJoin Liz Koch and Anna Verwaal for this most extraordinary Stalking Wild Psoas Workshop ~ Womb to World: The journey that shapes our life  is a process oriented workshop combining storytelling\, research\, and movement. By exploring how each of us is shaped\, quite literally\, by the field of experience in the womb and therefore of life itself\, we go far beyond our personal limited experience and taste the wild waters of wholeness that is our true birthright. \nFocusing on both the social and personal journey this transformational workshop is for everyone seeking to understand\, heal\, prevent\, resolve and transcend their personal conception\, prenatal\, and birth imprints.  \n(couples planning to conceive or currently pregnant who wish to consciously give their baby an optimum start in life are also welcome to participate). \nA creative collaboration:\nAnna Verwaal presents her stunning photography\, research\, and storytelling. Anna weaves 30 + years of perinatal psychology research and her extensive professional experience to help you understand the long-term effects of your own conception\, time in your mother’s womb\, and your birth and early post natal experience. Discover how this experience might still be affecting you physically\, emotionally\, and spiritually. If your conception was unplanned\, your birth induced\, or via emergency C-Section; or you were born with a tight umbilical cord around your neck\, you might feel more like you are surviving than thriving. But this does not have to be the way. Experience how becoming conscious of your earliest imprints helps to support your human potential\, personal relationships\, and creative expression throughout life.  \nLiz Koch presents embryologically based somatic explorations. Liz brings 43 years of sensory intelligence to encourage your ability to integrate and innovate. Using subtle primal movements we dissolve our 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 we access fluid movements to dissolve\, integrate\, and awaken. Revitalizing the very core of your being restores and nourishes your full capacity for becoming dynamic\, creative\, heartfelt beings.   \nOur studio in Castricum is warm and welcoming. Located in the heart of Castricum (30 minutes by train from Central Station Amsterdam) this small beach town offers hotel\, b & b\, or airbnb in walking distance  to to class. You’ll find healthy choices in food and local restaurants plus the north sea is all around… \n \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.

SUMMARY:Stalking Wild Psoas Workshop Canton OH
DESCRIPTION: Taste The Wild Waters of Wholeness\n \nA 3-day process-oriented re-wilding psoas workshop focused on restoring and nourishing the bio-intelligent psoas using micro-non-linear\, multi-dimensional\, fluid movement\, and sound frequency. This offering is an opportunity to heal psoas issues and awaken your core integrity. Just as a tree\, grown in a restricted container\, never reaches its full potential\, so too a domesticated psoas never fully expresses our true nature when bound within social decorum\, linear patterns\, and repetitive movement. Be moved from deep within to awaken your inner strength and creativity!   \nRead my recent blog for more clarity ~  https://coreawareness.com/stalking-wild-psoas-awakening-to-our-creative-self/  \nNo experience necessary. Every one is welcome. \nNOTE: If you are having difficulty with your Psoas and/or your movement is limited\, this workshop can offer you the opportunity to heal.  \nREGISTRATION: www.yogacentralohio.com \n\n \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:Stalking Wild Psoas: Womb To World Collaboration with Anna Verwaal Glasgow UK
DESCRIPTION:The Journey that Shapes Our Life\n Taste the Wild Waters of Wholeness\n \nexperience the world in new and curious ways! \nJoin Liz Koch and Anna Verwaal for this most extraordinary Stalking Wild Psoas Workshop ~ Womb to World: The journey that shapes our life  is a process oriented workshop combining storytelling\, research\, and movement. By exploring how each of us is shaped\, quite literally\, by the field of experience in the womb and therefore of life itself\, we go far beyond our personal limited experience and taste the wild waters of wholeness that is our true birthright. \nFocusing on both the social and personal journey this transformational workshop is for everyone seeking to understand\, heal\, prevent\, resolve and transcend their personal conception\, prenatal\, and birth imprints.  \n(couples planning to conceive or currently pregnant who wish to consciously give their baby an optimum start in life are also welcome to participate). \nA creative collaboration:\nAnna Verwaal presents her stunning photography\, research\, and storytelling. Anna weaves 30 + years of perinatal psychology research and her extensive professional experience to help you understand the long-term effects of your own conception\, time in your mother’s womb\, and your birth and early post natal experience. Discover how this experience might still be affecting you physically\, emotionally\, and spiritually. If your conception was unplanned\, your birth induced\, or via emergency C-Section; or you were born with a tight umbilical cord around your neck\, you might feel more like you are surviving than thriving. But this does not have to be the way. Experience how becoming conscious of your earliest imprints helps to support your human potential\, personal relationships\, and creative expression throughout life.  \nLiz Koch presents embryologically based somatic explorations. Liz brings 43 years of sensory intelligence to encourage your ability to integrate and innovate. Using subtle primal movements we dissolve our 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 we access fluid movements to dissolve\, integrate\, and awaken. Revitalizing the very core of your being restores and nourishes your full capacity for becoming dynamic\, creative\, heartfelt beings.   \nVenue: Our Glasgow Scotland Studio access is down the fairy path…natural beauty and a quiet space all our own. The Old Barn is tucked away in Pollok Country Park on the Southside of Glasgow easy by bus\, bike route\, and car. \n \n\n \n \n  \n\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\, Anna worked with families and babies as an educator/consultant and then started her own private birth consulting practice. Anna travels internationally giving lectures\, presented a TEDx Talk\, and offers 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.
