SUMMARY:Psoas Healing Retreat (Professional Application Course) Ojo Caliente NM 2026
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. NOTE: if Ojo website says they are sold out call to confirm dates 877-977-8212 \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 25th and join us at 7:30 pm and depart after 6:00pm on Saturday\, January 31st  – 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: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.

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.

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:Psoas and The Actor ~ Los Angeles CA  - POSTPONED
DESCRIPTION:Deepen and Broaden into Your Art\n Psoas and The Actor is a 2-Day Workshop open to every Body working in the Creative Arts\n\nAs Actors we live and breathe the psychological\, examining the motivations and histories of the characters we portray. When I began exploring Psoas\, I began to sense something beyond the mind and beyond psychology. We are animal body\, designed for a direct unmediated experience of our lives and the abundant world around us.\nCore Awareness has changed my experiential perceptions in a deep and lasting way.\n~ Judith Scott ~ \n Psoas is a primal tissue whose bio-intelligence influences all movement and expression. By exploring our primal gestures we disentangle from our conditioning and begin innovating in new and surprising ways to show up\, shape shift and flourish. Attending to biomorphic expression is a process of attuning one self to a different mode of perception. Rather than focusing on accomplishment it requires fostering a softening of control. This process frees our attention to move from a narrow focus to a wide field of receptivity. \nCANCELLATION POLICY:  Please read my complete cancellation policy available online before registering. \nPhoto Credit: Leon Liu.

SUMMARY:BEAR Myth & Bone Knowing ~ Sarah Byrden Joins Us in Discerning the Fierce Feminine
DESCRIPTION:SUNDAY AUGUST 25TH\n1:00 EASTERN | 12:00 CENTRAL| 11:00 MOUNTAIN | 10:00 PACIFIC\nMoving Beyond Social Constructs\n \nI’ve invited Sarah to join me in discerning the mysteries of uncertain times…through the archetypal movement of yin and yang. \nMyth and Movement nourish our Soul. With the cycles of rising energy\, zenith\, entropy\, decline and incubation and into rising energy and creation again we find rhythms vital for deepening our relationships to life. \n“The longing we feel toward the wild\, and the journey it sets us on requires not only deep listening but also a force of desire. A longing of the soul that moves us along. It is not given freely but requires that we inhabit the fullness of our Self.  This is where the power of archetypal gestures comes into play. In traditional Chinese Philosophy (as I’ve learned it) longing is a Yin aspect of the heart\, risk is the Yang aspect. When in the archetypal warrior form we draw the bow but do not immediately look where we are aiming\, this is the iconography of risk  – of aiming our hearts toward a place we cannot fully see. We cannot know how it is all going to work out or what will happen\, but we do know we MUST aim and risk our hearts in the direction of our desire in order to stay alive. Conversely\, in the Yin heart form\, when  we make the shape of.the flame  in front of our bodies and reach slightly\, toward the horizon and then pull back in\, this is the acknowledgement and cultivation of longing toward a circumstance that has not yet arrived\, yet feeling it’s possibility we stretch our heart into its potential. Our feminine reach for the wild necessitates that we must also return to a true expression of yang”  ~ Sarah Byrden\n\n  \nOur starting point is a story given to us by Mythologist Martin Shaw known as  Valemon the Bear (see and listen to it here: https://emergencemagazine.org/feature/valemon-the-bear/) \nBears and women in the woods is a very old motif. The great contadora Dr. Pinkola Estes speaks about Bears as the ultimate creature of cycles representing the Great Mother.  \nSarah Byrden is an Elemental Archetypal Qigong Teacher\, Somatic Educator and Women’s 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.

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.

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.

DESCRIPTION:Join us for Sunday Brunch… \nSunday May 26\, 2024\nTUNE IN 1:00 Eastern | 12:00 Central | 10:00 Pacific \nA FREE Conversation open to everyone! Please bring your own refreshments\, inquiries and curiosity…\nJoin Liz Koch & Janice (Ha) Cathey \n  \nJanice (Ha) Cathey and Liz Koch return to discuss how we have each grown a bio-dynamic business. \nThis model of business is unique and emerges out of natural flowing dynamic principles of success. \nA flourishing of our personal lives where our businesses reflect our innate choices\, keen priorities\, and deep convictions. \nTracking our animal body instincts is primary for deep bone knowing decisions. sniffing out what feeds our soul\, and nourishes our lives to root deeply into community\, family\, the core of being. \nThis way of doing business in 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. \nHa.Le’ was born from a desire to heal: a homecoming to body\, indulging in slow movement\, restoration\, mindful walks\, nature\, and developing a deep relationship with self and others. Integrating holistically\, collaborating as opposed to competing\, and fostering an environment of awakened care. \nGuinea Pig Publications™ and Core Awareness™ unfolded as a passion for changing the language of body revealing itself slowly\, growing down through layers of the dominant cultural perceptions of body and up through direct perception\, meandering awareness and heartfelt longing to become words on pages and explorations in emerging gestures.

SUMMARY:Holding Paradox: Becoming Our Own Collaboration with Jorja Rivero
DESCRIPTION:Holding Paradox: Becoming Our Own\nTHREE MONDAY CLASSES  –  MARCH 11\, 18\, 25 \n10:00 AM – 1:00 PM CENTRAL/Chicago USA \n 8:00 Pacific| 9:00 Mountain | 10:00 Central | 11:00 Eastern \nNOTE THIS COURSE TAKES PLACE DURING DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME CHANGE \nWomen Exploring Together \na moving collaboration with relational therapist\nJorja Rivero LCSW\n\n  \nWhat to Expect \nA combination of rich movement and reflective inquiry\nin the company of other women\nwho share a longing to deepen our center of being. \nT  A S K \ncalling forth courage\nto face ourselves with vulnerable curiosity. \n  and  stop being at odds with ourselves \ndevelop a rooted core\nthat hold us beyond good and bad is the \nP L A Y \nDeveloping this new capacity as a Sweet Holding is the \nP A R A D O X \nNourishing our own from within is a life-long journey\nHere we meet for three sessions\nto inspire and create a supportive container for your own self-discovery. \n  \nInternalized Misogyny is neither Personal\, nor 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 is a bilingual  Relational Life Therapist in practice in NYC and available Online. Working since 2003 and in Private Practice since 2008\, Jorja has a Masters in Social Work from NYU\, Clinical Training in Gestalt Psychotherapy\, and certification as a 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? \nRecognizing 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.
