The Training Roadmap
The free Training Roadmap meeting will give you a glimpse of the journey that awaits you in the 3-month online training “Integrating Somatic Techniques in Therapy.”
This 2-hour session is designed to share the most crucial information on the program content and format and some of the new developments that make our program unique. It will also highlight the benefits of somatic training and answer any questions you might have.
With a guided meditation at the beginning and a movement session in the middle, our invitation is to cocreate and enjoy this safe community circle.
This event was live on September 5, 2023. After you sign up, we will send you an e-mail confirmation and then, up to a few hours, an e-mail with the link to the recording (with no time limit).
