This 3 week course will teach you everything you need to know to build the foundation for Somatic Inquiry.

Each session will include psychoeducation, somatic practice and discussion. I combine decades of experience with somatic movement, breathwork, and inquiry with Buddhist Psychology and Parts work. This is a good foundation for anyone building a base for doing deeper trauma work.
