“I appreciate that the information has been synthesized in a clear way. This body of work provides a balance of non-authoritative structure with kindness, self-permission, and luxuriating that feels like a necessary and exciting piece. It fills the gap of "what's been missing" in previous experiences of meditation for me.” - Malia

"Thank you Jamie for your work, for your journeys from the outside in with physical stepping stones that help me to anchor in and connect with the physicality of my being. It is truly a treasure for me." - Elisabeth, Teacher

Fall 2019 Module 1: Practice and Theory - Content, Dates & fees

This immersion in the practice and theory of Embodied Mindfulness is designed to generate an easily repeatable individual daily somatic sitting practice to cultivate greater degrees of ease, patience and focus while nurturing one's well-being.

Module 1 consists of a series of live online classes, an online retreat, MP3 recordings of all practices, support from a peer group, assorted readings and 3 individual online sessions.

Over the course of the program, you will learn a developmental sequence of 30 body-based practices for stillness. These somatically informed practices will:

  • Introduce basic anatomy for objective information through various maps of the body
  • Create a felt experience of one's body from the inside out for subjective information
  • Integrate the somatic technologies of breath, alignment, self-contact, movement and stillness into a comprehensive template for bodily awareness and emotional well-being


In each session, you are:

  • Guided in four unique 15-20 minute practices with time for personal exploration and assimilation
  • Engaged in interactive dialogue, question and answer, and theory


During the week, you have recordings of the practices as MP3 files for your personal use to repeat and integrate the material.

3 individual sessions are included for more personalized attention. These sessions focus on practice and theory while tracking your experience and making meaning.

We complete the program with a 5-hour online retreat to bring the practices together.
