SUMMARY:W I L D ~ Discerning Within:  A Collaboration with Kimberly Ann Johnson
DESCRIPTION:w i l d \nd i s c e r n m e n t \nDiscerning Within \nWild  ~ Feral ~ Savage ~ Fawning \nA Moving Collaboration between Liz Koch and Kimberly Johnson \nPresented November 2020. The video recording is available by purchasing a ticket below. \nSomeone once told me that civilization is the shared obliviousness to the fact that we haven’t gotten rid of wild things\, and that they dwell “within” us—somewhere beneath the threshold of normalcy. This wildness\, this darkness\, is not an “other.” We are continually sourced\, recreated\, and reconfigured here. \nBayo Akomolafe Finding the Dark: Decolonizing Darkness \n \nAlthough the dictionary defines the “wild” as untamable\, feral\, out of control\, riotous\, ridiculous\, rash\, stupid\, impractical\, and tempestuous\, it is by welcoming the wild that we avoid such antonyms as domesticated\, indifferent\, and unenthusiastic. By listening to our deep primal messages\, we reclaim our birthright as expressive\, dynamic\, and innovative beings. As we turn toward the core\, nourishing gestures\, similar to a blossoming flower\, feel lush within and enrich all who witness the splendor. Sustaining every gesture\, our wild psoas speaks the language of the heart\, and communicates what is held most dear within our bone – the felt-sense of being alive. \nSignaling survival responses\, this primal messenger relays disruptions and compensations that threaten our core integrity. Just as every coherent animal in the wild kingdom 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. Ignoring the wild nature of psoas can be very dangerous.   \n(excerpted from Stalking Wild Psoas: Embodying Your Core Intelligence) \nHow do we know the difference between wild and ravenous? What happens when our inner wild woman is savage?  Can we be feral and live among each other? What happens when we can not discern our inner wild? What if our inner wild woman is muted or silent?  What if fawning is our first wild impulse?    Join the conversation and the movement…. \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 Certified Sexological bodyworker and Somatic Experiencing practitioner specializing in birth injury\, birth trauma\, and sexual healing. 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 now 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 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\, Mother\, Maiden\, Crone: Our Pleasure Playlist and her latest book Stalking Wild Psoas: Embodying Your Core Intelligence.\n \n

SUMMARY:Changing The Language of Body ~ Participating With Your Organizing Intelligence
DESCRIPTION:Stalking Wild Psoas \nEmbodying Your Core Intelligence  \nEssay Six \n\n\n\nLanding & Locating \nPresented 2020. The video recording is available by purchasing a ticket below. \nParticipating With Your Organizing Intelligence \n\n\n\nA Conceptual Shift Made Potent Through Movement \n\n\n\n\n\n\nPsoas reveals the truth about our relationship with the earth…. \n\n\n\nOur arrival as newborns is a landing felt deep in our bone which continues to shape our flourishing gestures. Like a tuning fork produces a pure tone\, psoas is in resonance with the wisdom of our bone\, vibrating the very essence of life and putting a bounce in our step. Bone offers a lightness of being – a calling from the living earth. In contrast\, muscles are all about doing: fetching water and carrying wood. Marrow at the very center of bone nourishes the brain and spinal cord. To land in the marrow of our bones is to feel the essence of soul. Symbolic of the eternal in both myth and story\, bone is associated with what is lasting and most significant: blood\, power\, and embodiment. When something is felt deep in the bone\, it has landed and will stay with us forever. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe word “landing” is a term I use for feeling grounded and able to locate in space and time. Found within our bones\, the sense of landing is an essential kinetic ignition we share with all mammals. Any disruption confusing our ability to land and locate in time and space is signaled as fear by our primal psoas. As a bio-intelligent messenger\, psoas tracks safety\, every moment of every day. \n\n\n\nListening to and understanding what psoas communicates takes time to develop. If we are connected to ground and can feel the earth’s rhythms\, we are more readily available to be responsive and adaptive to subtle changes But if there is shock still reverberating there will be discord and disorientation. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

DESCRIPTION:F L U I D  C O R E \nListening to Psoas through the Field of the Heart \nPresented November 2020.

SUMMARY:Online-Audio Psoas Course | Fall/Winter 2020
DESCRIPTION:Psoas Audio-Course Begins October 28th \n \nWhat Participants Are Saying… \nFrom the very first class\, learning how to think about the psoas as bio-intelligent tissue\, something has ignited in me.  \nMy work these past 8 years with Chi Nei Tsang has been geared towards that with the whole body\, but something in the way you teach brought it more imminent. \nYour voice and actual delivery of information is the best way to release a tight Psoas! \nAbsolutely loving your teleclasses\, really validating the movement practices I’m so into (rolling\, grounding\, unraveling\, authentic movement etc) and backing it all up in the bio-intelligent paradigm. I’m learning loads! \nThis has been the best thing I have done for my Psoas. I am just sorry I did not do it sooner. \nI wanted to thank you for a truly enlightening class. I LOVE your investigations\, understanding of the psoas and integrative\, eye-opening perspectives. I really enjoyed this teleclass and hope to learn more from you in the near future! \nI just listened to the class recording and it is excellent\, I was especially moved by the details\, like your deft address of the word “attached”…as in “the Psoas is attached to…”  that is just lovely and restful to hear. \nI am finding your Psoas teleclass very useful and juicy – can’t wait to hear the next class! \nI want you to know that your words have such a resonance with my view of how enormous are the manifestations of the body beyond elemental anatomy.  Your clarity has affected how I begin the invitation to experience the movement of weight\, tissue\, and breath as one healing self; your clarity transforms (as a yoga teacher) my beginning into each person’s own inviting. This transformation has been remarkable to see. Coming upon your work is a magnificent meal for my begging bowl!  May I share this vitality\, and my thanks” \nInformative & practical: Exercises were assigned that were actually possible to do at home without personal contact with the instructor\, and I could do these exercises within the first day. \nValuable insight into how to work with a muscle that is a common problem for many of my clients. \nA most valuable class for postural and pelvic awareness – I learned how to sit more comfortably\, and I learned how to avoid exacerbating some SI joint problems I have. The physical therapy exercises I’d been given had only worsened my back/pelvic pain\, but I found Liz’s exercises and skillful observations to be profoundly helpful in reducing my pain and correcting my pelvic alignment. \nI’m really enjoying it very much and learning heaps. I love your languaging around all the issues and topics you are raising – inspirational. As a yoga teacher\, it seems that more and more I am moving towards an understanding and learning about neutrality\, equanimity\, balance\, and that my practice is about embodying that. Gradually I am finding that my yoga practice and teaching is not about mastering a particular shape with my body\, but more of an exploration of dynamic movement\, resolving towards balance\, presence\, and ease. \nGreat class\, I am excited by this fresh take on the core. \nListen LIVE or Listen to the class recording at your leisure after each class for the length of the course. \nFive consecutive Wednesdays\, from 4 pm to 5 pm PDT\, 6 pm to 7 pm CDT\, and 7 pm to 8 pm EDT (and to all international students – enjoy the recording on your timeline).  Listen to each one-hour virtual class\, from the comfort of your own home. Plus receive free coaching support for the entire 5-week course via email.  Registration cost is $220.00 (no early/or late dates to sign up) \nATTENTION – this course is NOT a webinar. It is an audio online course designed to help you develop your sensory system through the art of listening. \n\n\nAUDIO PSOAS…learning to listen…STARTS OCTOBER 28th NCBTMB Nationally Certified 5-Weeks class covers ALL aspects of the Psoas\, its functioning\, relationships\, and plenty of resources\, plus recommended explorations each week.

SUMMARY:FUNDAMENTALS: Jaw & Pelvic Connection (Zoom)
DESCRIPTION:FUNDAMENTALS \nJaw & Pelvic Connection \nPresented October 2020. The video recording available by purchasing a ticket below. \n \n  \n\n\n\nHip socket pain\, sacral dysfunction\, and low back issues often find resolution in the Jaw/Pelvic Connection.\nThe jaw and pelvis\, reflect one another\, and when disrupted can cause our psoas to message disharmony whether that originates from injury\, anger\, frustration\, willfulness\, scar tissue\, poor ergonomics or dental issues. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nThinking and languaging spine as separate thoracic\, lumbar\, and cervical parts that move independently diminish the power of our core. From one end to the other\, all core movement is an expression of wholeness. Like a fish\, or for that matter a caterpillar\, our head to our tail moves as one. Stabilizing one end of the caterpillar by pressing down your finger only makes the other end of the caterpillar flail. The same is true for the head and pelvis. When one end of the spine is over stabilized (or unstable)\, the other end will become disorganized.\nTo either end\, our psoas messages all core disruptions.\nBy returning core to its fluid primal origins\, compensatory behaviors involving psoas often find resolution. \nStalking Wild Psoas: Embodying Your Core Intelligence

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:FLUID CORE: Coherency & Connective Tissue
DESCRIPTION:Fluid Core \nCoherency & Connective Tissue  \nPresented October 2020. The video recording is available by purchasing a ticket below. \na collaboration with  \nSue Hitzmann \nJoin our conversation to learn why healthy Connective Tissue\nis KEY to a resilient coherent nervous system. \nDiscover how self-help hydrating techniques\nhelp your nervous system function more efficiently\,\nreduce stress and anxiety\,\nand improve diaphragmatic and pelvic motion.  \n\n\n\n Rebalance Your Sympathetic NeuroCore \n\n\n\nIn my professional inquiry with psoas re-hydrating the sympathetic NeuroCore\nby playing with micro-undulations\, sound shaping\, and biomorphic expression\, I began nourishing the deepest layers of buoyant connective tissue. I discovered that over time what senses as dry\, tight\, or inflamed psoas can plump up and feel supple\, juicy\, and alive. \n\n\n\nLiz Koch ~ Stalking Wild Psoas: Embodying Your Core Intelligence \n\n\n\nMeet My Guest: \nSue Hitzmann\, MS\, CST\, NMT\, is a nationally recognized neuro-fascial manual therapist and teacher whose studies and explorations have culminated in the creation of the M.E.L.T. Method® (MELT). A revolutionary approach to pain-free fitness and longevity\, Melt Method is a self help technique for working with the connective tissue. Because the Psoas is deeply embedded in the sympathetic neuro-core\, hydrating connective tissue is an important key for resolving Psoas inflammation\, pain\, and tension. \n\n\n\nNeuroCore is a termed coined by neuro-fascial therapist Sue Hitzmann creator of The MELT Method® (2006) first heard during a conversation (2010) with author Liz Koch discussing the deepest “fascial bags” that enfold spinal cord\, psoas\, kidney\, adrenals: The NeuroCore System is comprised of a Reflexive Core – the 3D cylinder and the Rooted Core\, the head-to-toe neurofascial connection that allows our brain to sustain more efficient balance of our masses and spaces (another MELT Term) for the bony and joint parts of our body.(2018)

SUMMARY:Changing The Language of Body ~  Psoas as an Organ of Perception
DESCRIPTION:Stalking Wild Psoas \nEmbodying Your Core Intelligence  \nEssay Five \n\n\n\nCore Messenger \nPsoas as an Organ of Perception \nPresented 2020. The video recording is available by purchasing a ticket below. \n\n\n\nA Conceptual Shift Made Potent Through Movement \nOur languaging of body is rapidly changing. The limited\, isolated biomechanical language that once defined and shaped our perception of self and other is dissolving. Burgeoning is a biologically rich vocabulary based on a wild calling; coaxing and inviting us to deconstruct and decolonize our static conceptual framework so we can be “claimed” and emerge from isolation to embrace life as cooperative\, expressive\, and creative. Now is the time to dissolve the old story and inhabit the new paradigm of body as a living process.\nYou and I have a part to play. This new paradigm is paramount as it supports what always has been and always will be: an awakening of coherent life on Earth. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaking of psoas as muscle reduces this tissue to a dualist contrast of weak or strong\, inactive or active\, agonist or antagonist. Attempting to gain strength\, muscles are moved through cycles of repetition\, utilizing various forms of resistance\, such as weight to tear down as well as resistance to build up\, in an effort to develop mass\, support\, and shape. In the most sophisticated muscular-based systems\, resistance is a method of maturing the nervous system and removing scar tissue that is helpful for gaining muscular flexibility and strength. Either way\, simple or sophisticated\, psoas when defined as muscle results in a misunderstanding of great importance. Treating psoas as muscle proves detrimental and limiting to our capacity to receive pertinent information. If one understood there is no such thing as weak psoas there is only exhausted psoas\, would this change protocol? Wild psoas is liminal and orbital: a 360 directional receiver\, transmitter\, and inner communicator. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:FLUID CORE ~ Resiliency in the Face of Great Change (Zoom)
DESCRIPTION:F L U I D  C O R E \nResiliency in the Face of Great Change \nPresented October 2020. The video recording is available by purchasing a ticket below. \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. Because psoas communicates coherency\, it is of great interest to me what behaviors and activities support expressive resiliency and thus encourage a flowing responsiveness. The capacity to respond quickly yet with a consistency is what I refer to as having a stable yet dependable inner resilience. \n\n\n\nSurvival\, recovery\, and thriving are concepts associated with resilience and describe the stage at which a person\nmay be during or after facing adversity. The concept of “thriving” refers to a person’s\nability to go beyond his or her original level of functioning and\nto grow and function despite repeated exposure to stressful experiences  \n\n\n\nJanet Ledesma\, Conceptual Frameworks and Research Models on Resilience in Leadership \n\n\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.

SUMMARY:Sex & The Psoas (Women Only) Amsterdam NL
DESCRIPTION:SEX & THE PSOAS  \na workshop for women \nFocused on the relationship of the Psoas to all aspects (and ages) of sexual health: pleasure\, full body orgasm\, and core integrity. \n \n\nStaying juicy\, no matter what age or phase you are experiencing\,  involves entering the waters of life\, the arms of mother earth and be held by caring deeply for yourself.  Whatever that looks like for you\, whatever your desire; gardening\,  sharing with women friends\, journaling\, bodywork\, and privacy – it is mandatory that we take back time.  In the midst of a busy family time I demanded of myself like a ferocious guard dog\, my own time for being nourished.  Adrenal health is a happy life in every phase. Whether in moon cycle or menopause when I understood that my anger or hot flash was a sign that I was lacking nourishment\, in all its varied forms: nutrient rich foods\, sleep\, play\, and rhythm\, I would slow down and sense within.  Finding my own rhythm by attuning to the earths rhythms I began again a new dance of life with self\, family\, and other.    \n(excepted from Maiden\, Mother\, Crone: Our Pleasure Playlist)

SUMMARY:Centering The Pelvis ~ Healing Psoas
DESCRIPTION:Psoas\, Instinctive Responses\, Injury & The Healthy Pelvis \n \nThe psoas muscle is part of our instinctive fear response. When falling in love or propelling through space\, the dynamic psoas surrenders deep within our core. All unresolved fear is communicated through the psoas and directly affects the pelvis. When we feel our integrity is compromised\, it is the constricted psoas that plays havoc on our breath and the natural positioning of the centered pelvis. \nLearn to Center and Heal Your Pelvic /Psoas Relationship \nThe psoas profoundly influences every aspect of our health. If the psoas is called upon to support structural misalignment\, its suppleness is curtailed and over time this dynamic tissue dries and shrinks. If consistently used as a structural or emotional support\, its expressiveness will diminish. \n \nReestablish Core Integrity \n Whenever there is pelvic damage the psoas takes over for the lack of SI joint function and eventually shortens pulling the pelvis forward\, down\, and further off center. When your pelvis is off center and your Sacral Iliac ligaments have micro-tears or are over-stretched due to physical force\, falls\, surgery\, or accidents the psoas will become engaged to help limit movement in an attempt to maintain core integrity.

SUMMARY:WiLDING Psoas Collaboration: Finding Your Voice with Angelike Valster Amsterdam NL POSTPONED 2021
DESCRIPTION:Although culture defines  “wild” as untamable\, feral\, out of control\, riotous\, ridiculous\, rash\, stupid\, impractical\, and tempestuous\, \nit is by welcoming the wild that we avoid living a domesticated\, indifferent\, and unenthusiastic life. \nEnfolding biomorphic expression and consciously playing with Voice  \ndeeply nourishes not only our health but also the creative expression of our soul. \nRe-wilding psoas is not a sacrifice or a fix for a dilemma; rather\, it is a way of participating… to consciously belong… to play!  \n \nCreating fertile territory for wilding psoas requires dissolving\, de-composing\, and regenerating what is stagnant in order to once again let our hearts lead us into dynamic\, fresh impulses of play. In contrast to cathartic discharge\, flailing dissonance\, or dismissive amnesia\, re-wilding is a surge that can dynamically change the course of our life. No longer controlling core behavior ~ wilding psoas becomes an expression of renewal. \nJoining me to collaborate on re-wilding through finding our voice is Angelike Valster…  \n“If you have a voice\, you can use it to connect to your core and move any obstacle that keeps you from living your potential. \nCome and explore and listen\, it longs to be heard !” \n  \n \nAngelike Valster discovered the power of her voice some ten years ago after having explored the physical layers of emotions through haptotherapy. Her Soul Voice® journey confirmed her inner knowing that we are vibrational beings and that the voice is the strongest instrument to liberate all we have stored in our bodies. Angelike is a Soul Voice® practitioner and teacher offering private sessions and workshops. Her practice ‘de kracht van je stem’ (www.dekrachtvanjestem.nl) ‘the power of your voice’ has reached people of all ages and gender to regain their pure and authentic aliveness and creativity. \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) \n \nRecommended Reading ~  This workshop is based on my new book Stalking Wild Psoas: Embodying Your Core Intelligence  \n\n “Liz Koch opens the reader to a brilliant phenomenological panorama of the human body as a shaping\, a process\, a Gestaltung—as the expression of our soul\, intelligence\, and consciousness.” \n—Jaap van der Wal\,MD PhD\, embryologist\, anatomist and (recovering) morphologist \nLiz Koch\, author of Core Awareness and The Psoas Book seeks to dissolve the objectification of “body” in order to reconceptualize human beings as biologically intelligent\, self-organizing\, and self-healing. Specifically addressing educators and therapists\, she delves into the conceptual framework of core by decolonizing the popular mechanistic thinking of psoas as muscle\, inviting the reader on a journey toward reengaging with life’s creative processes. The book illuminates the limitations of the predominant paradigm of body and actively explores psoas as a vital\, intelligent messenger that links us to an expansive network of profound possibilities. Employing biomorphic and embryonic paradigms\, Koch redefines psoas as smart\, expressive tissue that is both elemental and universal. Named after the her popular exploratory workshops of the same name\, Stalking Wild Psoas encourages all readers to nourish integrity and claim self-efficacy as creative and expressive individuals. \n  \n

SUMMARY:FLUID CORE: Juicy Menopause (Zoom)
DESCRIPTION:FLUID CORE \nj u i c y  m e n o p a u s e \nbeing spit out of the moon cycle changes just about everything….and reveals so much needed nourishment  \nPresented September 2020. The video recording is available by purchasing a ticket below. \n \nRose Oil \nfresh rose petals gathered under the early summer sun\nsteeped with wild clover and amber in jojoba oil\nand kissed to completion with pure rose essential oil \n  \nThe blossoming sexuality of the mature woman and the succulent fruiting of sexual health in the vitality of the crone…. \nSlippery When Wet ~ Staying Juicy ~ ~~ When I turned 42\, I gave birth to my 3rd child. Being an avid breastfeeding mom\, postpartum and peri-menopause collided head on one into the other.  I felt all the bliss of being a source of nourishment while simultaneously finding myself grieving the end of my moon cycles.  Unresponsive scare tissue along my perineum\, a result of a tear during my first birth\, retore with each consecutive vaginal birth\, was now beginning to thin and become a source of irritation. I didn’t know with each healthy birth what I know now; scare tissue needs to be addressed immediately and continually until it dissolves back into healthy tissue. Fortunately I was introduced to the concept of fluid movement and the work of Somatic Pioneer Emilie Conrad’s Continuum Movement.  Emilie is known in her field for her work with the fluid system as it applies to spinal cord injury.Well into in her mid seventies Emilie is one juicy woman; her skin vibrates with lushness\, her mind is incredibly alert\, and she exudes a living Eros\, which tends to send goosebumps through every woman and man that watches her move. She taught me that all tissue needs hydrating (including our brains!) not simply through monitoring liquid intake but by actually igniting the natural wave motion of cells\, organs\, and connective tissue...I learned that aging is not the same thing as drying out and that what most of us assume is aging is really the result of drying out.  By accessing the mysterious substance of fluid within our  own system we enter a boundless source of pleasure and nourishment…. far reaching consequences affect our consciousness far beyond our personal boundaries…we enter a universal consciousnesses that recognizes pleasure not as isolated titillation but as life’s mysterious and transformative substance….  \n                                                                                                                                                                          Excerpted from Maiden\, Mother\, Crone: Our Pleasure Play List

SUMMARY:FUNDAMENTALS: The Hip\, Knee\, Foot\, Psoas Connection (Zoom)
DESCRIPTION:FUNDAMENTALS \n The Hip\, Knee\, Foot\, Psoas Connection\n \nPresented September 2020. The video recording is available by purchasing a ticket below. \n \n\n\n\nJoints articulate and transfer weight from one bone to another\, creating range of motion\, cushioning the force of gravity\, and reverberating ground force reaction (rebound). Energetically\, the joints link together like pearls on a string. When bones are not centered in their axis\, the individual joint (like the pearl) is stressed and therefore so are all the other joints in the body. Just as pulling on one pearl affects all the other pearls in a necklace\, a dysfunctional joint that is compressed\, unstable\, or stressed disrupts the whole skeletal system. A problem in a knee or shoulder socket\, for example\, is never an isolated problem. Stress on one joint not only causes other joints to be dysfunctional\, but also causes compensations of muscular and connective tissue through- out the body. \nIf we want core integrity\, a relationship between all of the joints is crucial. A supple psoas supports the continuum and informs us when proprioception is diminished. Discover the relationship between the ankle\, knee\, hip and a dynamic fluid psoas  throughout WALKING

SUMMARY:Unraveling Scoliosis Workshop (Zoom)
DESCRIPTION:Unraveling Scoliosis Workshop  \nPresented September 2020. The video recording is available by purchasing a ticket below. \n \n  \nMy goal in this 3-hour introduction workshop is  to shift our attention from fixing a problem to becoming curious about a living process of inquiry. \nThe pattern of spiraling tension in the body is like untying a knot.  Force from the outward does not immediately work; rather one must go into the center of the knot and soften to release and resolve the tension patterns.  The unraveling process\, is an inner path that winds down and around the deepest emotions of fears\, sorrow\, frustration and despairs. \nToday there are many alternatives to surgery that bring structural integrity\, increased awareness\, emotional stability and offer our selves a positive experience of our being body. \nFreeing the spine from the manifestations of scoliosis entails reconnecting to our inner sensations.  Rather than recoil from feelings\, it requires learning to foster the courage to explore physical and emotional tension and core expressions. To discover the paradox that becoming soft inside creates the strength needed to unravel and offers the dynamic potential for change. \nPersonal health becomes synonymous with empowerment and the ability to recognize our choices.  This process of self-discovery offers a significant life experience. By hydrating all tissue we sense feelings of resiliency. By nourishing our energy and nervous system we provide a deep relationship to gravity and belonging. By sensing the balance and  support found within our bones\, a sense of self  literally becomes a core of integrity capable of standing balanced and firm on our own two feet.

SUMMARY:Changing The Language of Body ~ Your Fluid Midline (ZOOM)
DESCRIPTION:Stalking Wild Psoas \nEmbodying Your Core Intelligence  \nEssay Four \nDissolving the Spinal Column to Reappear Resilient \nPresented 2020. The video recording is available by purchasing a ticket below. \nA Conceptual Shift Made Potent Through Movement \nOur languaging of body is rapidly changing. The limited\, isolated biomechanical language that once defined and shaped our perception of self and other is dissolving. Burgeoning is a biologically rich vocabulary based on a wild calling; coaxing and inviting us to deconstruct and decolonize our static conceptual framework so we can be “claimed” and emerge from isolation to embrace life as cooperative\, expressive\, and creative. Now is the time to dissolve the old story and inhabit the new paradigm of body as a living process.\nYou and I have a part to play. This new paradigm is paramount as it supports what always has been and always will be: an awakening of coherent life on Earth. \n\n\n\n\nOur spine as a living river is not an imaginary enchantment or a contrived self-expression but a direct sensory experience – a rolling earth movement in the epicenter of our being that can feel like a sweeping tsunami or a tiny rivulet of movement. Osteopath Andrew Still illuminates“the soul of man with all its pure living water seems to dwell in the fascia of his body.”18 Living water activated within our tissue is a magic potion\, a potent elixir accessible through the vastness of our own fluid system. The stirring of a wave motion can be witnessed in the flow of an unfurling leaf\, the gesture of an octopus\, and it can be felt-sensed within our lush spine. The undulating wave motion is a sacred re-emergence conveying that all life is essential. Fluid movement holds the power to dissolve the familiar and dilute social conditioning. No dismantling required: we simply allow fluid waves to spread through tissue and soften our old thought forms and outmoded patterns of behavior. By utilizing embryological and biomorphic motifs\, the power inherent in water can be received as a pulse of renewal. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

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.

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).
