Future visioning

Classrooms & community spaces where people go for emotional, psychological, social or spiritual support need to embed the two key concepts & modalities I teach: #embodimentspirituality & #embodiededucation

This is a photo from the weekend where I was facilitating the skills practice weekends for this year's Somatic Shamanism Energy Medicine Practitioner Cohort @acornretreat

The training & education NORMALISES spiritual needs as basic human needs - the needs for connection, belonging, meaning & purpose.

Rooted in #embodimentspirituality & #embodiededucation it is non doctrinal, non body bypassing, neurodivergent affirming, & crucially nervous system & trauma informed.

The pathway for learning, connection & meeting needs is #inandthrough the body. It depathologises emotions & sensation, holding the intention that wisdom is found in our body - our #fleshyknowing - & that #metcognition - thinking about thinking - can help us make sense of the body's #feltsense messages.

The practitioner is the guide who offers coregulation - grounding & safety - creatively & neuroinclusively, flexibly supporting those they work with to connect to their #fleshyknowing - their #intuition & #instinct.

I believe wholeheartedly that #embodiededucation & #embodimentspirituality are essential for a hopeful future & the resurrection of a humane & humanitarian humanity

And so need to be FREE, accessible & embedded into society structures, institutions & statutory provision.

I'm therefore advocating for #embodiededucation & #embodimentspiritualiy to:

* be part of core statutory educational curriculum provision & services

* be part of mental & physical health NHS intervention

AND

* form an alternative state funded spiritual community care based on our common #tangibledivinty that everyone can access as an alternative to dogmatic religion & the capitalist spiritual & wellbeing industry

To do this I realise I need to rename the modalities - especially #somaticshamanism & #energymedicine - to bridge the worlds - I'm working on that!
