For most people, continuing in the course of study while there is a momentum to the learning and changes will be important.

Our public programs will have between 12 - 35 students. The ratio between students and teaching staff is approximately 1 to 10. We will often have a teacher student ration of 1 to 6.

Somatics is from the Greek word soma that literally translates as “the living body in its wholeness.” Wholeness in this sense includes the physical world of sensations, temperature, weight, movement, streaming, pulsation, and vibrations, as well as our images, thoughts, stories, attitudes, yearnings, dreams, and language. Somatics can also be referred to as the mind/body/spirit unity.

On our course offering page for public programs, the courses are listed in an order that will continually deepen your embodiment of leadership. For most people, Leadership in Action followed by Advanced Leadership has a natural flow of foundational learning and a continuation of distinctions and practices that build towards deeper insights and more leadership skills and abilities.

This course is not a beginner’s course in leadership in the broad sense of the word. Since our somatic approach is new for most people, it will be a rich and deep experience.
