Responsive Body Level 1 Practitioner Certification Program
18-month practice-based learning program examining, exploring, and experiencing a biodynamic ecology of support for somatic and social wellness, creative process, and relationship building for the advancement of human systems for equity, excellence, and radical joy. Responsive Body directly addresses the harmful impacts of oppression, violence, and neglect as they are enacted as racism, male supremacy, ableism, and greed. Throughout the cohort-based program humans bond together as a community of care building long-lasting relationships that add potency to our biological optimism and bodied resiliency. We explore a diverse range of somatic therapies, embodiment philosophies, energy medicine, art-based therapies, trauma recovery, and critically examine history, politics, and culture. Responsive Body changes based on the needs and interests of the group and its members is an adaptive system of supportive responding meaning that no one cohort is the same. The content of each certification program differs and is created in real-time through the realness of our lives.
