Unlock the Path to Healing Through Somatic Awareness

Welcome to The Channels of Awareness, an introductory workshop designed to guide you through one of the three major components of somatic therapy. This workshop focuses on understanding and utilizing the channels of awareness to access, digest, and purge stuck survival energy within your system.

Understanding the Channels of Awareness

In somatic therapy, the channels of awareness are essential for processing "charge" or information. They are how we experience the world, constantly interacting with our environment. Understanding these channels is key to navigating and healing trauma.

What is Trauma?

Trauma is a breach in the energetic protective barrier of our being, caused by a deeply disturbing experience. It resides in the nervous system’s response to the event, not the event itself. When survival energy gets stuck and can't move out of the body, trauma occurs. This stuck energy traps us in time, creating a piece of our body that remains locked in that moment until we can be present with it in a safe and emotionally resourced environment.

Empowering Healing

Trauma is fully healable. Our bodies, psyches, and souls are designed to recover from trauma by bringing awareness to the areas where it's stored. By addressing these areas with love and safety in the present moment, we can heal even the deepest wounds.

Workshop Structure

The Channels of Awareness workshop is an informative introduction to embodiment, structured to help you understand and apply the five channels of awareness in your daily life.

- Learning About the Channels: We begin with an in-depth exploration of each of the five channels of awareness. As an experienced Somatic Therapist Educator and Facilitator, Kat will guide you through the theoretical foundations and practical implications of each channel.

- Practice of Noticing: Participants will then engage in exercises to notice which channels are functioning at any given moment. By bringing mindful attention to your experiences, you can become more aware of how these channels influence your perception and reactions.

- Being Present with What Is Alive: The final part of the workshop focuses on the practice of being with what is alive in the present moment. Through guided meditations and reflective practices, you will learn to stay present with your sensations, emotions, and thoughts, fostering a deeper connection with your body and mind.

Gentle Approach and Grounding

We understand that diving into intense emotions and sensations can be challenging. In this workshop, we emphasize a gentle approach to ensure your process is supportive and nurturing. Grounding practices will be offered throughout the workshop to resource participants, helping you stay centered and balanced. These practices include guided breathing exercises, mindfulness techniques, and grounding visualizations to help you manage any overwhelming feelings and stay connected to the present moment.

Join Us

Begin your journey towards greater self-awareness and healing by joining The Channels of Awareness workshop. Embrace the opportunity to explore your inner world through mindful attention and practical exercises.
