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:Coming To Our Senses as Women
DESCRIPTION:A Kinesthetic Sensory Inquiry For Women \nComing To Our Senses   \n  \n\nWhat is the experience of core integrity if it emerges at this moment within a sensory based woman? \nHow do we\, as women\, embody a lived integrity? \nWhat does integrity sense like within the very core of our being?  \n  \n \nAs one woman wrote “with the impulse to be good is the fear of getting it wrong.”  \nHer words say it all. \nIf we can physically experience our conditioning within our personal core\, \nmaybe women can collectively locate our authenticity within our flesh and bones \nand truly be integral.   \nJoin me for six session (2.5 hr) over three weeks and dive under the cultural and historical strangle-hold to sense your animal body’s essential aliveness and potential. Dissolve the density..the fear\, the freeze\, and the fawning responses. Honor your wild and know its power. Discern the W I L D from  brutal or savage.  Enable your expression to no longer be predicated on inauthentic yet correct behavior. Each session includes movement explorations\, journaling\, and connection. Begin accessing the impulses of longing deep within and what is required to manifest core integrity.  Employing micro-fluid movements\, which soften the freeze response and strictures in our spine\, can spontaneously evoke emergent experiences that help us to access a larger field of bio-intelligent knowing. By not promoting exclusivity of movement but rather allowing bio-morphic expression\, we discover our kinship with all living systems. Going deeper within our own biological terrain\, we dive under the cultural and historical strangle-hold to sense our animal body’s essential aliveness and potential.

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

SUMMARY:MOVING WHITENESS with Resmaa Menakem & Carlin Quinn
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. 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:ONLINE - Stalking Wild Psoas Workshop NCBTMB Accredited (Zoom)
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: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
