​What the ELL trainings offer:

  • Support to discover the many ways our bodies are valuable sources of information and knowing

  • A loving look at the core drives and beliefs inherited from our families

  • Teachings on the Orders of Love (articulated by Bert Hellinger) and conscience in human systems 

  • A forum to weave somatic tools and systemic principles together to build a life of meaning

  • A relationship with emergence through trust of many ways of knowing, being, and doing

What makes us uniquely human? How are we equipped for the future?

Bodies - including sensations uniquely equipped for and part of our planet

Families - bonds with those who gave us life, regardless of how capable they were

Conscience - the personal and systemic felt-sense of belonging, balance, and order

Meaning - amidst our imperfections, foibles, and shadows, we are beautiful and worthy

Emergence - utilizing many ways of knowing, being, and doing, we unfold the live edge

Re/Connect to the wisdom of the body

From the moment we're born, we're learning how to use our bodies to interact with the world, from signaling hunger, to a need for comfort. Coordination of the visual system leads to crawling, walking, and greater degrees of independence. At these early stages of life, there's little separation between our gut feelings and our reach to others. And then, something happens...

​

Recognize family as the first systemic influence

At the same time we're learning to use our bodies, we're learning to navigate our family systems. Newborns discover how responsive, available, and present their caretakers are, or not. Even family systems with great deficits, raise beings who know how to survive. However, most of that knowledge is unconscious. If we surface our core needs, desires, drives, or beliefs learned from our family systems, we can become more conscious and empowered actors in life and work.

​

Balance personal and systemic conscience 

According to Bert Hellinger, who worked for decades with contemporaries to explore, articulate, and illuminate the unconscious dynamics of human systems, we have both a personal and a systemic experience of conscience. Learning Hellinger's Orders of Love and how they animate conscience and systems, greatly enhances life and leadership. Bonds, binds, and leverage points become visible, and potential resources become accessible. 

​

Weave a life of meaning and impact 

Weaving all of this together: we learn to use our bodies and sensation for discernment; our original experiences of human systems as awesome learning laboratories; our sense of conscience as gateways for navigation and clear decision-making; and an approach to life that is meaningful, and holds emergence with curiosity. Imagine navigating life and work with planted feet, deep breath, flexible responses, and clear senses, informed by many ways of knowing. Now imagine letting yourself have that foundational resource. 

​​

Become more securely readied to meet the emerging future  

Learning to amplify somatic (body) intelligence and integrate that with mental and emotional intelligence adds fantastic capacity. Learning systemic principles of human systems at the same time, is like getting a powerful life decoder ring. This is an empowering way to meet the future.

Embodied Life, Leadership & Decision-Making

Learn dependable ways of knowing 

 

ELL-1 Foundations 

Embark on a shared learning journey in three movements

  • Tools and methods: Learn underlying principles of human systems and practical strategies to apply them. Establish a communication pathway between your body and mind, to readily resource and inform yourself.

  • Application to life and family: Explore how your experiences and decision-making processes have been influenced by early family life and familial patterns. This territory may include limiting beliefs, perceptions of guilt, and fear of conflict or disappointing others.

  • Application to work and decision-making: Develop the courage to include and accept what is. Define the elements of your conscious leadership stance and purpose, and root them deeply in your ways of being. Learn to make equity-informed and politically savvy decisions from the deep well of your own wisdom and agency.  ​​​

ELL-2 Practicum 

Embark on a shared learning journey in two movements

  • Sessions one through six: Review and practice of the principles, strategies, and tools from ELL-1 

  • Sessions seven through twelve: Learn new material, adding nuance and depth to the established knowledge base 

  • Program features: Small group work, opportunities for practice, accountability, and feedback

  • Interested in ELL-2?

​

​

​​What to expect in both training courses:

  • The 12 online sessions are each 90-minutes long.  There will also be readings, reflection prompts, and practice options for outside of class. This allows you to play with new concepts and tools as your time allows. 

  • You'll be part of a small, supportive circle to allow for deep exchange. We will create community agreements and work in confidential space. We'll be courageous in our vulnerability and growth, while holding one another in care. 

    • Note: I open additional cohorts as needed to tend the intimacy of this journey. 

  • Please attend and contribute. You'll experience depth and meaning when you authentically show up for yourself and the group. Your consistent presence also contributes to maintaining a robust community container.

​​​​

Wondering if this is right for you?

Make your first somatic-informed decision. Smile, and try asking your body what it knows. Here's one way to do it:

  1. Stand and notice the subtle sensations of your body to get a baseline of where you are now.  Notice details like gaze, breath, tension, and stability.

  2. Set a mat or paper in front of you to represent this course.

  3. Step onto the mat with the intention to test the course and notice any changes of sensation or emotions.

  4. Notice: Are your eyes open? Are you breathing more deeply? Are you standing taller? Is there a sense of a smile or uplift? Then this could be for you.
