Description

Mind and body are not separate – we are whole, integrated organisms whose physical sensations, emotions, and thoughts are all interconnected.

The disconnection from our embodied experience parallels how we've become disconnected from the natural world. But reconnecting with our somatic experience can lead to more sustainable and regenerative ways of living, challenging extractive systems that benefit from our disconnection and burnout.

The Somatic School, founded by Nathan Blair, has trained over 600 body-oriented coaches. Their flagship programme, the accredited diploma in Body Oriented Coaching, focuses on helping people access what he calls "the wisdom of distributed intelligence through our entire body-mind".

Nathan’s approach bridges "profundity and professionalism”, marrying the worlds of the magical and the logical, the mystical, the measurable, the scientific and the spiritual.

• Integrate embodied ways of knowing into your decision-making and daily life, drawing on wisdom traditions that value physical intelligence alongside intellectual understanding
• Recognise patterns of burnout and disconnection in your life, and develop a more sustainable relationship with yourself, others and the planet through somatic awareness
