​
"What is the right decision and how will I know I've reached it?"
It's so easy to feel overwhelmed with life, work, or social conditions. Without tools and training, we can become tense and scattered, our thoughts skittering about like rabbits. In leadership roles where responsibilities are amplified, this internal dilemma can log jam whole systems. Even in crisis, it doesn't have to stay this way.
​​
The limits and distortions of overthinking
We try so hard to think of everything, moving chess pieces in the mind's eye in hopes of a great outcome. Yet rarely are real world considerations inanimate like chess pieces. Usually, we're sifting ideas and options with emotional content and real human costs. In such a state, it can be hard to get clear and take decisive action. Fortunately, we don't have to limit ourselves to mental games alone. We can learn how to tap dependable ways of knowing that we tend to overlook.
​
Listening to the wisdom of the body
Our bodies are highly intelligent and can relay the truth in simple, palpable ways. Bodies communicate through sensation. Gut feelings, tingles in the spine, shaking hands, jumpy feet... those feelings and feedback offer information we can use. When we discover the right decision, we notice somatic changes. Our feet feel planted, our breath is deep, our body feels lighter, our vision becomes clear, and we can see where we're going.
​
Learn dependable ways of knowing. 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 easily 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. ​​​

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:
-
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.
-
Set a mat or paper in front of you to represent this course.
-
Step onto the mat with the intention to test the course and notice any changes of sensation or emotions.
-
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.
