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:Stalking Wild Psoas Workshop NCBTMB Accredited (Zoom) 2021
DESCRIPTION: \n\n\n\n \nAn ONLINE 4-day process-oriented\, play and re-wilding psoas workshop focused on restoring\, through 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 and/or overly trained psoas is never dynamically expressive –  our soulful\, animal body..our true nature bound within social decorum\, linear patterns\, and repetitive movement becomes stifled and possibly dry. \nBe moved from deep within and awaken your inner strength and creativity!   \n \n PREREQUISITE:   It is required for this online course to have attended  my BASIC Psoas Workshop or a selection of (a minimum of 3) online Fundamentals/Fluid Core/Stalking Wild Zoom classes. Experience in my approach provides the foundation that helps develop the conceptual understanding and the needed self direction for attending Stalking Wild Psoas workshops. I also encourage you to read or listen to my new book Stalking Wild Psoas: Embodying Your Core intelligence. Wondering if this the workshop for you?   https://coreawareness.com/stalking-wild-psoas-awakening-to-our-creative-self/  \nNOTE: If you are having difficulty with your Psoas and/or your movement is limited\, this workshop can offer you the opportunity to heal.  \nCANCELLATION POLICY:  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: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

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.

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.

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: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.

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

DESCRIPTION: \n\n\n\n \nAn ONLINE 4-day process-oriented\, play and re-wilding psoas workshop focused on restoring\, through 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 and/or overly trained psoas is never dynamically expressive –  our soulful\, animal body..our true nature bound within social decorum\, linear patterns\, and repetitive movement becomes stifled and possibly dry. \nBe moved from deep within and awaken your inner strength and creativity!   \n \n PREREQUISITE:  It is required for this online course to have attended  my BASIC Psoas Workshop.   The Basic Psoas workshop provides a foundation that helps build the conceptual understanding for attending Stalking Wild Psoas workshops. I also encourage you to read or listen to my new book Stalking Wild Psoas: Embodying Your Core intelligence. Wondering if this the workshop for you?   https://coreawareness.com/stalking-wild-psoas-awakening-to-our-creative-self/  \nNOTE: If you are having difficulty with your Psoas and/or your movement is limited\, this workshop can offer you the opportunity to heal.  \nCANCELLATION POLICY:  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: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)

Passionate about supporting the current shift in consciousness Krista will guide us both in circle meditations and constellation explorations to transform and embody the ener-genetic inheritance of our family lineage to connect us all to the strength of our ancestors.  \nLiz Koch using subtle primal movements helps us dissolve into our cellular memory without eliciting cathartic reactions. Holding a container of nourishment we are capable of discovering embodied\, inclusive\, and integrated resolution. Using micro-movement and sound-breath we access a biomorphic fluid field  that dissolves\, assimilates\, and awaken. Revitalizing the very core of our being nourishes our capacity for becoming dynamic\, creative\, integral\, and heartfelt beings.   \n  \nKrista Jarrard is an international family systems teacher and facilitator with 18 years’ experience in the field of trans- generational healing. As a foundation for her groundbreaking work with Inclusion and Belonging\, Krista founded the Center for Systemic Healing offering trainings\, public workshops and remote client work.
