SUMMARY:Myth & Bone Knowing Collaboration with Sarah Byrden London
DESCRIPTION:Myth & Bone Knowing \nMOVEMENT AS MEDICINE \nPrimal Gesture & Archetypal Qigong \nTHURSDAY OCTOBER 10 \nA day of Moving Story \nGo out in the woods\, go out. If you don’t go out in the woods nothing will ever happen and your life will never begin.\n~ Clarissa Pibkola Estes ~ \nWe begin exploring the power inherent within Myth and Archetype as a portal into our mutable inner knowing. Softening\, Shapeshifting\, Tracking we’ll sense into our birthright of our animal body\nand into the wild fluid terrain of inner power. \nThere is movement to our personal mythology as well as the myths that guide and are unfolding in our lives. There is a mythology to the innate gestures that rise from our tissue\, and can be touched in specific archetypal flows of qigong as well as in returning to the biomorhic movement of our fluid primal body. All contain a unique and brilliant holographic intelligence that contain maps to show us where we are\, where we have been and where to go next\, mirrors within which to see ourselves and understand our states and conditions\, and the medicine to nourish and instruct us in regards to what is really the matter and where to go from here. \nLiz Koch & Sarah Byrden. \nLONDON \n  \nSarah Byrden is a somatic practitioner\, Qigong practitioner\, educator and wilderness guide. A two time TEDx presenter\, Sarah has dedicated over twenty years to the deep study and apprenticeship of nature-based movement modalities. Teaching from her own life-long journey\, she is the founder of The Elemental Self\, which offers pathways for remembering our true self\, the web in which we belong\, and our innate capacity to move and be moved by a source beyond our conditioning. \n  \n  \n  \nLiz Koch is a conceptual artist exploring the deep sensory system and the wild wisdom of core Psoas. An international somatic educator and author with 45 years of experience\, she is the creator of Core Awareness™ and the author of The Psoas Book; Core Awareness: Enhancing Yoga\, Pilates\, Exercise & Dance; Stalking Wild Psoas: Embodying Your Core Intelligence; and her upcoming book Birth Savvy.

SUMMARY:FIERCE FEMININE Collaboration with Sarah Byrden Amsterdam
DESCRIPTION:THE FIERCE FEMININE\na collaboration\nLiz Koch & Sarah Byrden \n\nSaturday & Sunday October 5 & 6\, 2024 \nA  somatic exploration for inhabiting the fierce feminine.\nThis workshop is open to every body.\nThrough flows of archetypal qigong\, primal expression\, and landing in our bones we call forth the fierce motions of inner life required to guard and protect the female soul\, our truth\, and our integrity. \nWe come together to cut through. To inhabit ourselves more truly.\nMoving out of the false feminine feigning of “not knowing”\ninto the deep visceral knowing of a fierce kind of love. \nFierceness in the feminine soul is too often kept under wraps\, hidden from view\, and relegated to unexpressed territories. In most myths\, fairy tales and real-life scenarios depicting a feminine protagonist\, it is the embodiment and expression of this fierceness that is needed to free her from her own capture\, domestication\, and disappearance toward a life and path of sovereignty and true power. \nThe fierceness of the feminine has long been socialized out of us – relegated to the shadowlands in Western postcolonial contexts. Qualities\, expressions and embodiments of assertion\, boundaries\, directness\, precision\, discernment\, immovable resolve\, deep and direct knowing\, surety\, saying no\, protection\, differentiation\, separation\, severing\, cutting through\, sharp tongue\, truth-telling\, shrewdness\, clarity\, action\, agency\, and power…these movements and energies carry profound wisdom and transformative power in our lives and in our world. \nToo often the qualities of ferocious integrity live in the shadows and become distorted and ineffective versions of themselves as they twist into knots of anger\, rage\, and resentment…or become so hidden that they seem unfindable altogether\, rendering us falsely passive\, self-doubting\, tentative\, demure\, disembodied and dissociated. \nThe aspects and qualities of the ferocious feminine are part of our instinctual animal body containing profound integrity when not repressed\, hidden\, or avoided. \nA fundamental truth of the wild feminine soul is that we know what must live and what must die. It is not only within our reach but within our biological intelligence to be the keepers of cycles and the actors of this agency. \nWhen we are not landed in our bones\, nor close to the somatic gestures of this fierce instinct\, it is difficult to use our voice\, to say a full no or a full yes\, to stand up for ourselves and each other. \nThis workshop is open to all genders and every BODY wishing to explore the qualities of fierceness within the context of the modern socialization of the feminine soul. \nSarah Byrden is a somatic practitioner\, Qigong practitioner\, educator and wilderness guide. A two time TEDx presenter\, Sarah has dedicated over twenty years to the deep study and apprenticeship of nature-based movement modalities. Teaching from her own life-long journey\, she is the founder of The Elemental Self\, which offers pathways for remembering our true self\, the web in which we belong\, and our innate capacity to move and be moved by a source beyond our conditioning. \n  \n  \n Liz Koch is a conceptual artist exploring the deep sensory system and the wild wisdom of core Psoas.

SUMMARY:Working with PSOAS: Hands-on Techniques for Massage Practitioners  ~ Sonoma CA & Zoom
DESCRIPTION:Working with PSOAS: Hands-on Techniques for Massage & Bodyworkers \n5-hr Workshop in Person – Sonoma\, CA\nOnline Zoom \n Tuesday August 13 \n  \n \nShaped by personal\, social\, and global flows of information\, the psoas responds to not only stress signals but also impulses that stir our hearts and resonate deep within our bones.\nBy having respect and support for our biological intelligence\, the psoas emerges as a messenger that reveals deeply moving stories about compromise and sourcing as well as depletion and nourishment. \nMassage & Bodywork Magazine (2019) The Psoas  by Liz Koch\n~  ~  ~ \nBio-mechanical methods\, which include direct palpation and manipulative techniques traditionally taught in most massage schools and bodywork programs do not provide the iliopsoas muscle complex with the respect crucial for gaining and recovering dynamic function. As an instinctually reflexive and emotionally expressive tissue\, PSOAS\, with all its intricate interdependent relationships\, neurological and chemical expression of trauma  requires an insightful approach for resolving “core”  tension patterns. This 5 hour hands on workshop covers the basics of supporting healthy Psoas without further exacerbating cathartic or engaging in manipulative overwhelm. Whether working with clients on a table or the floor you will learn and practice the essentials for integrating a bio-intelligent approach to PSOAS. \nNational Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage & Bodywork (NCBTMB) Approved\nThis is approved by the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage & Bodywork for 5 hour(s) of continuing education credit (CEU). For more information on the NCBTMB\, please visit their website. \n  \nPsoas is a not the problem  ~  it is the messenger  ~  hear its message  \n  \n \nRegina Gregor graduated from massage school in 1989 and has been a certified massage therapist for 35 years. A Psoas savvy practitioner\, Regina completed the 30 hr Core Awareness Application course for Professionals. As a movements educator she is both an Essentrics Instructor\, and an Advanced Level 5 MELT Instructor. \n  \nAfter working consistently for 35 years\, from chiropractor’s offices to backstage at concerts\, I am happy to say I still loving giving massage. To bear witness to my clients finding rest and relaxation through massage is a gift\, and I consider myself lucky to be a part of this process.  \n\n~  ~  ~ \nLiz Koch is an international teacher and author with 45 years of experience\, focusing on kinesthetic intelligence andsomatic awareness for developing human potential. The creator of Core Awareness™\, Liz is dedicated to educating both laypersons and professionals about the core psoas. She is the author of The Psoas Book\, Unraveling Scoliosis CD\, The Psoas & Back Pain CD\, Core Awareness: Enhancing Yoga\, Pilates\, Exercise and Dance\, and Stalking Wild Psoas: Embodying Your Core Intelligence.

SUMMARY:Coming To Our Senses  _ Exploring FAILURE
DESCRIPTION:A Kinesthetic Sensory Inquiry\ndiving into words that shape our beliefs \nThe word we will be exploring is \n~ FAILURE ~ \n\n\nBeing sensory aware of cultural constructs of conditioning living in our wild flesh loosens the binds that tie. \nJanice (Ha) Cathey creator of Ha.Le’ Integrative Center and Liz Koch offer this exploration on Failure as a follow-up to the recent conversation Growing a Bio-Dynamic Business \nListen to our conversation on my YouTube \nLINK: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6Ng2PuoXdo&t=94s \nOur intention is to explore our social conditioning and deep fears around what is call FAILURE \nAs the Bio-Dynamic model of business is unique and emerges out of natural ever changing flows in our personal lives where our business reflects our innate choices\, keen priorities\, and deep convictions. This way of doing business is a far cry from the driven\, hierarchical success where beating down the competition or inflating oneself becomes the dominate force.  Instead\, this is a way of life\, a melting of desires ~  a weaving of possibilities. \nSo what then do we determine as failure? \nCOMING TO OUR SENSES  begins with a word – tracking our reaction and assumptions – then moving with that word to  claim our truth. \nGATHERING for this process oriented class may be unrecognizable but if you like to play; you’ve previously joined Coming to Our Senses; or my WILD Discernment class\, participated in the Wise Woman Course\, or Stalking Wild Psoas…then this just might be a place of nourishment for you.

Completing this 30-Hr course is a prerequisite for joining my online Community referral page where people can locate Psoas savvy classes and therapists in their community. \nStep away from your dedicated focus to broaden your perspective and experience your bio-intelligent psoas. By doing so\, your psoas becomes a guide for self actualization that informs you from deep within your core being. \nA healthy psoas is the first step towards functional movement. Having a coherent core not only supports the capacity of core strength but is deeply nourishing for every aspect of your life and creativity; essential components for achieving your professional goals. \nInspire your  life and your specialization. Join me! \nGroup size: limited to a maximum of 12 participants  (during your stay\, family & friends are welcome to join you at the Spa Resort) \n \nPrerequisite: To attend the retreat and/or Nationally Certified Application Course you are required to complete one BASIC Psoas Workshop (online or in person)  To be potentially included on my LINKS referral page requires a minimum of attending a 12 or 18 hour Psoas Workshop plus this 30-Hour Application Course.  Please note: I reserve the right to deny anyone for any reason to be included on my Community Web page. \n \nACCOMMODATIONS: Please the Ojo Caliente Mineral Spring Resort & Spa https://ojosparesorts.com/ojo-caliente/stay/  for accommodation options and rates from hotel rooms to renting houses\, dining options\, travel plans\, and spa choices. If you wish to share a room please first register for the course and then email me to let me know you are interested.  I can not guarantee a roommate but will be happy to share your email with anyone else looking to share accommodations.

SUMMARY:THE FIERCE FEMININE Liz Koch and Sarah Byrden - On Zoom
DESCRIPTION:THE FIERCE FEMININE\na collaboration\nLiz Koch & Sarah Byrden \nONLINE\nSaturday & Sunday January  13 & 14\, 2024 \n$275  (Recordings Available for 72 hours after the two day workshop) \nEconomic Justice Scale Discounts (email Sarah directly) and Payment Plans- 4 bi-weekly payments- are available (at check out). REGISTER AT: theelementalself.com \nWorkshop as follows: Saturday & Sunday  11:00  am – 3:00 pm Central\n| 9:00 am Pacific | 10:00 am Mountain | 12:00 pm Eastern | 17:00 London | 18:00 Amsterdam \nA  somatic exploration for inhabiting the fierce feminine.\nThrough flows of archetypal qigong\, primal expression\, and landing in our bones we call forth the fierce motions of inner life that are required to guard and protect the female soul\, our truth\, and our integrity. \nWe come together to cut through. To inhabit ourselves more truly.\nMoving out of the false feminine feigning of “not knowing”\ninto the deep visceral knowing of a fierce kind of love. \nFierceness in the feminine soul is too often kept under wraps\, hidden from view\, and relegated to unexpressed territories. In most myths\, fairy tales and real-life scenarios depicting a feminine protagonist\, it is the embodiment and expression of this fierceness that is needed to free her from her own capture\, domestication\, and disappearance toward a life and path of sovereignty and true power. \nThe fierceness of the feminine has long been socialized out of us – relegated to the shadowlands in Western postcolonial contexts. Qualities\, expressions and embodiments of assertion\, boundaries\, directness\, precision\, discernment\, immovable resolve\, deep and direct knowing\, surety\, saying no\, protection\, differentiation\, separation\, severing\, cutting through\, sharp tongue\, truth-telling\, shrewdness\, clarity\, action\, agency\, and power…these movements and energies carry profound wisdom and transformative power in our lives and in our world. \nToo often the qualities of ferocious integrity live in the shadows and become distorted and ineffective versions of themselves as they twist into knots of anger\, rage\, and resentment…or become so hidden that they seem unfindable altogether\, rendering us falsely passive\, self-doubting\, tentative\, demure\, disembodied and dissociated. \nThe aspects and qualities of the ferocious feminine are part of our instinctual animal body containing profound integrity when not repressed\, hidden\, or avoided. \nA fundamental truth of the wild feminine soul is that we know what must live and what must die. It is not only within our reach but within our biological intelligence to be the keepers of cycles and the actors of this agency. \nWhen we are not landed in our bones\, nor close to the somatic gestures of this fierce instinct\, it is difficult to use our voice\, to say a full no or a full yes\, to stand up for ourselves and each other. \nThis workshop is open to all genders and every BODY wishing to explore the qualities of fierceness within the context of the modern socialization of the feminine soul. \nSarah Byrden is a somatic practitioner\, Qigong practitioner\, educator and wilderness guide. A two time TEDx presenter\, Sarah has dedicated over twenty years to the deep study and apprenticeship of nature-based movement modalities. Teaching from her own life-long journey\, she is the founder of The Elemental Self\, which offers pathways for remembering our true self\, the web in which we belong\, and our innate capacity to move and be moved by a source beyond our conditioning. \n Liz Koch is a conceptual artist exploring the deep sensory system and the wild wisdom of core Psoas. An international somatic educator and author with 45 years of experience\, she is the creator of Core Awareness™ and the author of The Psoas Book; Core Awareness: Enhancing Yoga\, Pilates\, Exercise & Dance; Stalking Wild Psoas: Embodying Your Core Intelligence; and her upcoming book Birth Savvy. Liz focuses on kinesthetic intelligence and somatic awareness as a means for unfolding our human potential. Stalking Wild Psoas is her passion and Changing the Language of Body is her mission.

SUMMARY:Stalking Wild Psoas: Womb To World with Anna Verwaal on Zoom
DESCRIPTION:The Journey that Shapes Our Life\nNovember 16-19 \n\nJoin Liz Koch and Anna Verwaal for this most extraordinary process oriented workshop\ncombining research\, personal exploration and movement\n4.5 HOURS EACH DAY \nNO RECORDINGS \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.

SUMMARY:Paralysis of Indecision: Exploring Internalized Misogyny with Jorja Rivero LCSW (3-hr Zoom)
DESCRIPTION:The Paralysis of Indecision\nWorking Together as Women  \nExploring Internalized Misogyny\n  \na moving collaboration with relational therapist\nJorja Rivero LCSW\n\n \nBeing indecisive in our adult lives can be understood as child-learned self-betrayal. As children\, in our attempt to appease\, be safe\, accepted\, and loved as children we inevitably adapt to expectations by freezing or bypassing our senses and deep emotions. Continuing to do so now is at the expense of our innate knowing\, autonomy\, creativity\, and mobility. \nAs grown women we still may find ourselves colluding with this “bad deal” in hopes of obtaining safety and acceptance even though it keeps us small and unable to move through our lives with clarity. \nIn this journey we’ll be moving against the cultural agreements that tell us we should be at odds with ourselves\, know that authority is always outside\, make no demands\, wait to be given to\, and hate ourselves for even having needs. \nTo dissolve our childhood and culturally conditioned strategies requires an ever-present awakening that asks us to tenderly face our undeveloped potential and call it back home. \nThis in-depth somatic and reflective inquiry will begin moving us from paralysis to aliveness as we learn to not only befriend but take ourselves seriously. \nThe Paralysis of Indecision \nexplores how self-betrayal is a conditioned habit that interrupts our sense of Core Integrity\, our wild knowing\, juicy Psoas\, and genuine expression. Living cut-off from ourselves and our agency we remains underdeveloped\, dependent\, and tethered to the dominate cultural. \nInternalized Misogyny is not Personal\, or just happens to us – \nit is an Ancestral and Familiar Conditioning that we too uphold.\nYou know this deep inside when you observe your limiting beliefs and the many frustrating ways you undermine and override your feelings. Desperate to find a solution\, you often feel the urge to hurry up and just feel good. Rather than develop the humble art of listening and nourishing to that which is in pain or in joy in you -to that which is deeply alive. No matter how much you try to convince yourself that life can’t change\, something within keeps calling your attention…\nbut it feels so dangerous because it is. It is dangerous to believe it’s possible \n~ Jorja Rivero \nTo grow our discernment and flourish\, we start by slowing down\, showing up\, and tenderly receiving ourselves wherever we are in each moment. Only then do genuine feelings arise and creative possibilities unfold. \nReferred to by Daoist Healers as The Muscle of the Soul\, the core tissue of our physical body\, Psoas\, lives deep within the center of our being and is akin to our unique gifts. Often sensed as frozen or sedated this tissue alerts us to how we have been cut off from innate wisdom. \nRooting into Core Integrity requires that we sense our own being as well as the container that has shaped us. Only then do we begin attuning to a different way of being. Our birthright and capacity to feel and receive the sensorial language of Earth’s pleasures goes hand in hand with honoring our True Self. \n  \n \nJorja Rivero\, LCSW has a Masters in Social Work from NYU\, clinical training in Gestalt Psychotherapy and is a certified Relational Life Therapist. She taught yoga for many years and continues to teach guided meditation inspired from the practices she trained in. Jorja works individually with clients\, does couple’s work\, group work\, and offers workshops. \n  \nCONVERSATION: Available at Liz Koch YouTube Rejuvenating Our Inner Knowing As Women\nAuthor of  The Psoas Book\, Core Awareness\, and Stalking Wild Psoas: Embodying Our Core Intelligence\, Liz Koch invites  Jorja to traverse the terrain of “internalized misogyny” as it tethers women to Being Too Much\, or not enough. How do these stories live within our flesh\, blood\, and bones? And how does the colonized top-down mandate shrink our worth and our capacity to flourish? Recognizing that although WOMAN is a force of nature and the portal of all human life\, she carries a legacy of profound dissatisfaction. How can we awaken to the self-sabotaging internalized patriarchal constructs that literally live in our Soma? What can rejuvenate our inner knowing? Reflecting on our basic goodness and the innate goodness of life on Earth we discuss how nourishing our capacity moves us fully into our dynamic relational being.

SUMMARY:Tea & Talk A FREE Conversation ~ The Fierce Feminine with Liz Koch & Sarah Byrden on Zoom
DESCRIPTION:TEA & Talk \nTuesday September 12\nTUNE IN 6:00 Eastern | 5:00 Central | 4:00 Mountain | 3:00 Pacific \nA FREE Conversation open to everyone! Please bring your own refreshment\, inquiries and curiosity…\nJoin Liz Koch & Sarah Byrden \n \n  \nSarah and I are in conversation around what disrupts core integrity and holds women back from manifesting their hearts desire; moving from a place of innate knowing\, and being moved from a discerning fierceness that knows how to cut through as a force of change\, support and inspiration. Come join us in what we believe is an essential conversation … \nThe Fierce Feminine \nA fundamental truth of the wild feminine soul is that we know what must live and what must die. It is not only within our reach but within our biological intelligence to be the keepers of cycles and the actors of this agency.\n~ Sarah Byrden \nSarah Byrden and I met in Colorado at a Dr Clarissa Pinkola Estés Singing Over the Bones 5-day training. Sarah was in an in-depth study with Dr E’s work (author of Women Who Run With the Wolves) bringing it to life through story and movement as a Women’s Wilderness Guide.  As soon as we met we began organizing a workshop. We knew immediately we wanted to collaborate. We returned to Colorado the following year and taught our first very successful Stalking Wild Collaboration: Sexual Expression & Core Integrity. Throughout Covid Sarah and I found ways of exploring our mutual love of the Wild on Zoom and last year we came together to teach in-person in Oslo Norway. \nIN PERSON WORKSHOP COMING UP: October 27-29 we return once again to Colorado to offer a 3-day Stalking Wild Psoas Collaboration ~ THE FIERCE FEMININE. Our synergistic relationship\, where primal movement meets elemental qigong\, is a confluence of  two bodies of work that creates a unique alchemy! Together we touch\, awaken\, and nourish a longed for place\, returning to the truth of our fluidity\, to the steady knowing in our bones\, and to the mystery\, miracle\, and intelligence of our human life on Earth. \n

SUMMARY:The Root of Our Impossibilities: Exploring Internalized Misogyny with Jorja Rivero LCSW (3-hr Zoom)
DESCRIPTION:The Root of Our Impossibilities\nExploring Internalized Misogyny \na collaboration with relational therapist Jorja Rivero LCSW\n\n \nThe Root of Our Impossibilities explores how self-betrayal is a conditioned habit that interrupts our sense of Core Integrity.\nLimiting our self-nourishing capacity as women keeps us underdeveloped\, dependent\, and tethered to the dominate cultural \nInternalized Misogyny is not Personal\,\nit is an Ancestral and Familiar Conditioning \nYou know this for yourself by observing your limiting beliefs and the frustrating ways you find yourself undermining and overriding your feelings. Desperate to find a solution you often feel the urge to hurry up and just feel good. Rather than listen to that which is alive deep within\, you convince yourself that life can’t change. Yet something within keeps calling your attention…\nbut it feels so dangerous.\nTo grow our discernment\, integrity and flourish we start by slowing down\, showing up\, and tenderly receiving ourselves wherever we are in each moment. Only then do genuine feelings arise and creative possibilities unfold. \nReferred to by Daoist Healers as The Muscle of the Soul\, the core tissue of our physical body\, called Psoas\, lives deep within the center of our being and is akin to our Real Self. Often sensed as frozen or sedated this tissue alerts us to how we have been cut off from our innate wisdom. \nRooting into Core Integrity requires that we sense our own being as well as the container that has shaped us. Only then do we begin attuning to a different way of being. Our birthright and capacity to feel and receive the sensorial language of Earth’s pleasures goes hand in hand with honoring our True Self. \n  \n \n  \nJorja Rivero\, LCSW has a Masters in Social Work from NYU\, clinical training in Gestalt Psychotherapy and is a certified Relational Life Therapist. She taught yoga for many years and continues to teach guided meditation inspired from the practices she trained in. Jorja works individually with clients\, does couple’s work\, group work\, and offers workshops. \n  \nCONVERSATION: Available at Liz Koch YouTube Rejuvenating Our Inner Knowing As Women\nAuthor of  The Psoas Book\, Core Awareness\, and Stalking Wild Psoas: Embodying Our Core Intelligence\, Liz Koch invites  Jorja to traverse the terrain of “internalized misogyny” as it tethers women to Being Too Much\, or not enough. How do these stories live within our flesh\, blood\, and bones? And how does the colonized top-down mandate shrink our worth and our capacity to flourish? Recognizing that although WOMAN is a force of nature and the portal of all human life\, she carries a legacy of profound dissatisfaction. How can we awaken to the self-sabotaging internalized patriarchal constructs that literally live in our Soma? What can rejuvenate our inner knowing? Reflecting on our basic goodness and the innate goodness of life on Earth we discuss how nourishing our capacity moves us fully into our dynamic relational being.
