SUMMARY:Stalking Wild Psoas: Gathering The Bones ~ A Collaboration with Sarah Byrden Amsterdam
DESCRIPTION:A Stalking Wild Workshop \nGATHERING THE BONES\na moving collaboration with\nLiz Koch & Sarah Byrden \nART CREDIT: Kunst | „La Loba – Knochenflüsterer“ – Marissa Quinn \nI might say she lives among the rotten granite slopes in Tarahumara Indian territory. Or that she is buried outside Phoenix near a well. Perhaps she will be seen traveling south to Monte Alban in a bunt-out car with the back window shot out Or maybe she will be spotted standing by the highway near El Paso\, or riding shotgun with truckers to Morelia\, Mexico\, or walking to market above Oaxaca with strangely formed boughs of firewood on her back. She calls herself by many names: La Huesera\, Bone Woman; La Trapera\, The Gatherer\, and La Loba\, Wolf Woman. \n~ Women Who Run with the Wolves: Contacting the Power of the Wild Woman by Clarissa Pinkola Estes   ~ \nFriday & Saturday  November 21 & 22\, 2025\nA  somatic movement exploration\nThis workshop is open to every body.\nThrough flows of archetypal qigong\, primal expression\, dream\, and reflection we will work with the story of La Loba \n  \nThe import and impact of story\, archetype\, and symbol is a language that cuts through to speak directly in soul-language… with flashes of insight and direct bone-knowing. \n~ Sarah Byrden ~ \nMoving with the ancient story of La Loba\, from the book Women Who Run with the Wolves as retold by cuentista Clarissa Pinkola Estes PhD\, we work with the wise old woman who lives within each of us and whose sole [soul] task is to gather scattered and lost bones. \nThe work of gathering our bones asks us to peer between worlds\, to listen with a kind of soul-ear — to search the wild earth of ourselves\, both past and present\, for what has been lost and must be put back in its rightful place so that we can take our truest shape in this world. \nMovements and energies carry profound wisdom and transformative power in our lives and in our world. We cannot access these qualities just in our minds.\nWe must remember what they feel like in our gestures. \nThe deepest parts of us recognize the power of sensation\, symbol\, and physical gesture.\nSomatically through direct perception and creatively through movement and gesture we take a powerful journey of reclamation and return.\nEntering the deep Wild territory of our lives. \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  \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. Liz focuses on kinesthetic intelligence\, direct perception\,  and somatic awareness as a means of unfolding our human potential. Stalking Wild Psoas is her passion and Changing the Language of Body is her mission.

SUMMARY:Coming To Our Senses ~ UnEarthing Our Wild Desires with Sarah Byrden
DESCRIPTION:COMING TO OUR SENSES- EXPANDED\nSarah Byrden joins Liz Koch with Archetypal Qigong \nOpen To Every Body \nUn~Earthing Our Wild Desires\n          Moving Beyond the Edges of Homeostsis and Social Conditioning  \nThe synergy of fluid primal movement and archetypal gesture opens doorways…dissolving boundaries\, spilling over.. into unknown possibilities \nDomestication flattens and suffocates the WILD terrain of being. It has caused us to hedge around desires\, longings\, and truths.  \nDesire and Destiny is said in Chinese Medicine\, to be Rooted in the Kidneys.\nIt is through the Water Element that our true desire eventually flows out into the world through the bounty of the Heart.  \n \nWith domestication comes strictures\, implications\, and internalized correct behaviors\nOur inquiry now becomes an invitation to sense into hidden entrapment and limitations. \nJust as dense cities pour cement over living interconnecting waterways\, we too lose sight\, smell\, and taste of our flowing inner terrain of potential\, pro-creative urges vitality hidden deep within our core. \nUnknowingly we remain within collapsed margins of homeostasis that render us unable to respond\, innovate\, and participate in living\, never-ending gestures of BECOMING. \nJoin us for a 3-week series of lush\, life-restoring movement and possibility. \n3 WEDNESDAYS – 9:00 PACIFIC | 10:00 MOUNTAIN | 11:00 CENTRAL | 12:00 EASTERN – RECORDED CLASSES AVAILABLE FOR 3 WEEKS AFTER LAST CLASS \n\n\n\nPhoto credit zoltan-tasi-unsplash

SUMMARY:Stalking Wild Sound with Co-conspirator Kim Scanlon Seattle
DESCRIPTION:3-Day Stalking Wild Workshop\nSound & Movement with co-conspirator Kim Scanlon \nLakewood Seward Community Center \nSeattle Washington – June 20 – 22\, 2025 \n \nWhy are “voice” and “music” separate from the somatic world?\n\nWhat if Sound\, \nwhether it’s\nvibration\,\nword\,\nnote\,\nscale\,\nchord\,\nor\nrhythm \nhas its own intelligence? \nInwardly accessing simple fluid wave\, we’ll unfold from pure sound on the floor to SONG! Working with the ancestral sound of the guttural “O” we begin by letting our primal tube play us. \nWhat emerges is our conditioning: scolding\, shrinking\, avoiding: silence.\nExploring the possibilities of sounding offers us the opportunity to notice our tendency to contract—physically\, imaginatively\, and spiritually. \nMore provocatively\, Singing\, in a creaturely way\, lets us come into a full relationship to self and most importantly Community.\nMoving into deeper terrain\, sensing bones\, we flesh out our animal body.\nBy playing with the intelligence of sound\, rhythm\, breath\, scales\, grammar\, and words all at once— sensation and imagination come alive! With the intelligence/sensuality/shapeliness of pure vibration we keep that awareness and move into vowel and then simple song. \n  \n \n\nKim Scanlon is a jazz singer\, writer\, mentor\, and teacher\, fascinated by the human voice\, the invisible instrument. She’s been developing her unique approach to vernacular (non-classical) singing for forty years. Kim’s investigations are informed by broad study—of music\, of course\, but also: depth psychology\, Continuum Movement ™\, Steiner’s approach to grammar & punctuation\, North Indian scales\, communal grief rituals. The point is to restore our birthright to sing\, and to be rendered by sound. She works and consults with a wide variety of individuals\, groups\, and organizations. For over a decade\, she was a faculty member at Wisdombridge in San Francisco where she helped to develop programs and curricula combining community development\, poetics\, eco- and archetypal psychologies. Presently\, she serves as a depth coach to women artists and is writing a book about singing.  A Compass Records recording artist\, in 2025\, Kim’s band\, The Palace Thieves\, will release their first album\, When We Were Swans. Kim lives in Seattle with her husband. \n  \n\n \n Liz Koch is a conceptual artist exploring the deep sensory system and bio-intelligence of our primal core. An international educator\, author\, mother\, grandmother\, and creator of Core Awareness™ her work focuses on awareness for developing human potential. Her teaching includes racial\, social\, and cultural explorations of BODY as Process (not object). Direct perception and kinesthetic intelligence is her passion and Changing the Language of Body is her mission. With over 45 years specializing in the psoas\, Liz is recognized in the somatic\, bodywork\, and fitness professions as an authority on the Psoas. Nationally and internationally published\, her works includes: The Psoas Book\, Unraveling Scoliosis CD\, Core Awareness; Enhancing Yoga\, Pilates\, Exercise & Dance\, Psoas & Back Pain CD\, Mother\, Maiden\, Crone: Our Pleasure Playlist and Stalking Wild Psoas: Embodying Your Core Intelligence. Liz Koch is approved by the USA National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage & Bodywork (NCBTMB)\, as a continuing education provider.. \n  \n  \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).

MsT\, Bowen Practitioner – USA\n~    ~    ~    ~    ~    ~    ~ \nOffering my PROFESSIONAL APPLICATION COURSE as a 10-Month Online Course via Zoom brought my attention to the need and value of integrating concepts and experiences over space and time.

SUMMARY:Join me for Sunday Tea and a Conversation about Core Integrity
DESCRIPTION:Join me for Sunday Tea \nSunday January 5\, 2025\nTUNE IN 1:00 Eastern | 12:00 Central | 10:00 Pacific \nJoin Liz Koch for a  FREE Conversation open to everyone!  Please bring your own refreshments\, inquiries and curiosity… \nWhat is Core Integrity?   Why is Psoas a ground swell of  flow that  like a river is shaping the terrain of our very being? How do we enter into a loving relationship with our living breathing core being ? \n \nTracking our animal body instincts is primary for making  deep bone knowing decisions. sniffing out what feeds our soul\, and reckoning with our unfolding  lives. Core Integrity is a way of rooting deeply into community\, our chosen family\, and the core of a living Earth. \nStalking Wild Psoas is a flesh sensing  journey back home\, unfolding layers of being that is fragmented. \nChanging the language of body is a tendering\, a remember-ing we are earth bodies\, made of dirt\, water and sky – by slowing down\, pausing to sense the seeds of our being we find ground to  root; moving through layers of dominant cultural perceptions of body which set us up for failure…to discover how direct perception offers nourishment sustaining our meandering curious awareness and heartfelt longing to reshape us through this time of emerging gestures.
