STARTING WITH OURSELVES

In this first module of the EMBODIED WONDERMENT METHOD™, we start with ourselves and explore the foundations of compassion-centered integration coaching.

At the foundation of skillful facilitation, including for psychedelic integration, integration of chronic illness/ pain, and addiction recovery, is the embodiment of the facilitator’s own sense of worthiness and their ability to move beyond pedestaling themselves as ‘experts’ on the client’s experience. We cannot take others to where we have not been, and strategies alone do not produce healing experiences. This is why in WORTHY, we support facilitators in connecting to their own self-compassion and worthiness, so that they can offer a more compassion-centered experience for their clients.

MODULE Details:

WORTHY is composed of 8 Weekly, Virtual lectures and labs. Through a combination of story time lectures, experiential exercises, and group discussions we will move through the following workshop topics:

  1. EMBODIED INTENTION // Setting the container together, with an introduction to the EWM, module 1, and each other, and individually choosing a behavior/ habit we will personally explore together as a first-hand experience in the process of embodied change, with the support of the group.

  2. COMPASSIONATE PRESENCE // Returning to the simple (yet difficult!) task of offering our presence first, learning to really listen and attune to our clients.

  3. OPERATING FROM THE HEART // Building skills for our ability to have open and boundaried exchanges between ourselves (as practitioners) and our clients.

  4. CURIOSITY AND WONDERMENT // Practicing the curiosity and wonder that builds neurological resourcing for navigating trauma, riding out emotional storms and restoring emotional equilibrium involved in the process of change.

  5. WORTHINESS AND THE NERVOUS SYSTEM // Learning the basics of the nervous system to help us create space for compassion for our clients, shifting our focus from what’s “wrong” with someone (and their journey), to a clear analysis of what is physiologically happening.

  6. GETTING RESOURCED // Tuning into some on-the-spot tools and toys for navigating the “big storms” of trauma and the associated triggered responses that arise in the process of life, including addiction recovery, integration of chronic illness/ pain, and psychedelic experiences.

  7. EMBODIED WONDERMENT OUT IN THE WORLD // Planning for how we will apply the lessons of WORTHY out in the world, as we practice the embodiment of wonderment in our work and lives.

  8. INTEGRATION AND CELEBRATION // Closing the container, we return to our initial intentions, integrate the lessons of WORTHY, and preview the next module of The Embodied Wonderment Method™: KIND.

Here’s what past participants of WORTHY have to say:

Our souls innately know our worth - Bringing my human body to WORTHY was just the reminder I needed! Meeting weekly provided a community of like-minded AND very unique Beings - which became a real highlight, boosting my happiness hormones! The mix of science & spirit opens-up new discussions and opportunities to move forward/heal ... Addressing the nervous system and practicing integration throughout this module has been transformational and continues to help along my journey living with chronic physical health symptoms and dissociation. All of me is welcome; WORTHY. 

–H. Chapman 

The experience was wonderful in and of itself but the inclusivity of the space, speaking to varying needs and human rights really spoke to me as both a participant and a facilitator myself in other spaces. It’s allowed me to speak to my needs even more as well as make space for the varying needs of others. Thank you!!!
