SUMMARY:Psoas Healing Retreat (Professional Application Course) Ojo Caliente NM 2024
DESCRIPTION:Be inspired from the inside out! \nThe APPLICATION COURSE & Healing Retreat is for lay persons and professionals. This course is an opportunity to heal your own psoas issues and bring psoas awareness to your personal and professional life.  The Application Course offers those licensed as Somatic Educators\, Yoga Instructors\, Pilates & Gyrotonic Trainers\, Massage Practitioners\, Body & Healing Practitioners; as well as Birth & Fitness Coaches\, Dance Instructors\, Martial Arts Masters\, plus all psychology focused professionals\, to develop into Psoas Savvy Educators\, capable of helping others integrate and resolve psoas related issues. 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. There are many choices in rooms and each has unique possibilities so please feel free to contact me for suggestions as to which will best suit your needs. \nIMPORTANT: I encourage everyone to stay at the Ojo Caliente resort to attend this course. You will have easy access to the water and to me. However\, as Ojo Caliente is a popular destination prices have gone up and accommodations are limited I am opening to commuters. I still discourage getting in a car each day – it breaks the ability to deeply relax to be car free and walk…but if you wish to come and this is your only way possible then go ahead and register. \nTo be part of the Application Course you must arrive Sunday\, January 21st and join us at 7:30 pm and depart after 6:00pm on Saturday\, January 27th  – this course comes to an end with a full day on Saturday.  To receive a certificate you are required to attend the full workshop portion of this course. \nWe will be in New Mexico in the wintertime.  It is very beautiful but may be cold and might even snow!  Plan accordingly. \nRETREAT ONLY: You do not have to be a professional to come work/play for 6 days.  You do have to have the pre-requiste of completing a BASIC workshop and arrive on time. \n \n \nNational Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage & Bodywork (NCBTMB) Approved \nThis is approved by the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage & Bodywork for 30 hours of continuing education credit (CEU).

SUMMARY:Stalking Wild Psoas: THE FIERCE FEMININE Liz Koch & Sarah Byrden Boulder CO
DESCRIPTION:A Stalking Wild Psoas Workshop\nTHE FIERCE FEMININE\na collaboration\nLiz Koch & Sarah Byrden \nIn-Person Workshop\nOctober 27-29\nBoulder\, CO\n$550 Early Bird by October 20/ $630 Regular \nEconomic Justice Scale Discounts (email Sarah directly) and Payment Plans- 4 bi-weekly payments- are available (at check out). REGISTER AT: https://theelementalself.com/product/stalking-wild-psoas-collaboration/ \n*Workshop times are as follows: Friday: 6-9 pm\, Saturday: 9 am – 5 pm\, Sunday: 9 am-4 pm\nThis is not a residential workshop. Meals and accommodation are not included in the price. \nBOULDER COLORADO \nThis workshop is a 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.

We will be hand-selecting a small group of professionals to delve deeper into the intersectionality of somatic movement and Core Awareness within an embodied dynamic nervous system and primal core psoas. Over the span of 23 years Amber has\, through her immersion into the Polyvagal Theory \nand her work with survivors of human rights abuses globally\, developed an Integrative Body of Dance and Movement work specifically integrating the polyvagal theory so that it can be applied in direct somatic work with clients. Together Amber and I will  explore her integrative work and with the primal core expressions of psoas.  \n \nPRE-REQUISITE: This is an advanced collaboration course for PROFESSIONALS and is only for those already with a firm foundation in somatic explorations. Participants  need to know they have the confidence\, physical centering\, and psychic anchoring to hold them in time and space.  A clear sense of containment and a fluent practice in grounding is required. This course is not a fit for those who may be currently feeling destabilized\, traumatized\, struggling to heal\, or in need of reestablishing basic nervous system or life coherency. We will be going deep in this course\, not only conceptually but truly into the live wilderness of psyche and soma.  You must have attended Liz Koch’s 12-Hr Basic and Advanced Core Awareness Course and/or the Professional Application Course and/or studied and trained extensively with Amber Gray.

SUMMARY:Core Awareness Mentorship: Advanced Professional Course Lawrence KS
DESCRIPTION:This 4-day advanced course is designed for professionals who wish to refine their understanding of the explorations found in my book Core Awareness: Enhancing Yoga\, Pilates Exercise\, and Dance plus hone your ability in reading the psoas one to one.  In the intimacy of my private studio we will integrate the fundamental concepts for regaining and maintaining a healthy psoas. Each day we will refine and articulate movement\, increase proprioception\, and integrate the results working together as individuals and in partnership. Learning from each other’s expertise\, sharing our observations\, questions\, and concerns in hopes of developing a keen eye\, touch\, and intuition. \nMy goal for you is to integrate the explorations into your own practice to be able to guide your clients and students through a natural process for regaining and maintaining a healthy psoas.  \nThis workshop is offered to only 5 participants. It provides the time and attention necessary to deepen your understanding of my work with the psoas.  Each day will be a full day of learning.  My home will be open to you to enjoy my private library resources and to collaborate over a shared lunch around my table.  \n \nPROFESSIONAL OUTCOMES: Course Participants will gain hands-on skills for supporting the healthy psoas. Becoming cognizant of the signs of an overactive sympathetic fear response participants will identify and choose a strategy of support\, facilitate and implement basic trauma protocol\, utilize somatic tools for supporting the psoas and the sympathetic neuro-core\, and facilitate their client and students ability to resource support. Participants will also develop tools for evaluating their client’s ability to maintain a functional psoas by designing individual client homework that develops healthy self-help and lifestyle choices. Participants will display the ability to lead students through explorations that support the healthy psoas within their field of expertise; including conceptualizing and communicating the importance of core integrity and its relationship to the psoas. Participants will learn to assess the health of the psoas\, create a strategy for regaining a functional psoas\, define and prioritize which systems are interfering with the health of the psoas\, incorporate integral core concepts\, and educate their client/student in activities that overuse or recruit the psoas. Learning to guide their clients towards healthy ergonomic choices participants will enlist the five basic Core Awareness concepts utilizing these concepts and integrating them into their field of expertise to enhance the well-being of their clients/students base.  \nPREREQUISITE & REQUIREMENTS: You must be a professional (not a layperson) and have attended a minimum of two Psoas Workshops (or Tele-class plus workshop combination) to attend this course.  I encourage professionals already on my COMMUNITY page to attend to further deepen your understanding of how to utilize the explorations and develop skills in working one to one.
