Brain Body Being year One at-a-glance
A Loving + Scientific Approach to Healing Your Body and Transforming Your Life.
This professional training program is taken over two years, with:
The certification of Brain Body Being Facilitator and Somatic Embodiment Practitioner and Coach attained after Year One;
and
The designations of Clinical Somatic Educator and Registered Somatic Movement Therapist and Educator attained after Year Two.
*note: Year Two is optional
In year one, we focus on the process of transformation, from the sub-cellular all the way to the quantum, the metaphysical, the cosmological.
You will dive deeply into your own physiology, learning the function and operation of your psycho-neuro-immuno-endocrinological system, as well as the electromagnetic influence of your mind. You will explore human systems, paradigmatic thought, alongside the practices and pathways of perception offered by the field of somatics.
Together you will learn about the human experience from the inside-out, understanding the theory of quantum creation in a way that supports your own life transformation, alongside that of your clients.
In your cohort, you will find support and invitations to mastery of facilitation and shifting your somatic shape in accordance with your core alignment and deepest desires for yourself and the world.
Throughout the year, we will traverse science, philosophy and spirituality to answer the big question of: How do we actually embody our values, practicing daily what we truly long for our lives?
