“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

2023 Module 1: Content, Dates & fees

Module 1 can be taken for personal or professional enrichment. If you are interested in advanced study or teacher certification, see the Module 2 & 3 information HERE

Immersion in the Embodied Mindfulness practice 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.

Therapists, coaches, yoga and movement teachers of all types, as well as people seeking more calm and ease in their lives, can benefit from this integrative approach to the body and its expression of lively stillness.

Module 1 consists of a series of twelve live online classes, video recordings of all practices and theory, support from a peer group, and two individual consultations.

Over the course of the program, you will learn a developmental sequence of 24 body-based practices for a lively stillness. These somatically informed practices:

• 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 class session, you are:

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

During the week, recordings of the practices are available for your personal use to repeat and integrate the material. Your daily 15-20” practice is the keystone of this module. Two individual consultations are included for more personalized attention, focusing on practice and theory to track your experience.
