In this 9 week journey you will unearth the resources waiting within, and discover the power of Effortlessness.
Connect to your wisdom.
Embody the medicine of your life's story.
Empower your voice.
By accessing the mythic story of you, embodied wisdom releases the flow of your gifts. You will uncover the source of subconscious creative blocks and learn to trust yourself again.
You will escape traps of the mind as you reveal the potency of what you "feel". The power of creation is found within our living being.
This is not a pen & paper workshop on writing or artistic craft. It is a whole body workshop for opening the source of your creativity and tapping into the roots of your story.
It introduces an organic path to effortlessly connecting with your truth. You are offered simple, yet profound, perspectives and practices. The effect is sustainable change, allowing the creative fire to flow through you.
This personally transformational journey will begin with your body’s response to stress and trauma, build capacity for flowing with the challenges of life, alchemize frustration, and invoke the powerful realization of your purpose and inner courage.
As we connect with the courage to transform your stresses into the creative expression of your gifts, your artistic expression becomes the healing medicine for yourselves, your local community and for humanity.
Artists of all mediums will benefit equally from this practice.

Embodied Wisdom Education is specifically designed to connect you with your inner wisdom and body rhythms through focused attention, gentle breath, movement, and touch.
In these practices you will be guided to feel, and “listen” to your inner wisdom through the practice of Somato-Respiratory Integration (SRI).
This is healing in nature and will result in a greater sense of wholeness. The new flow of connection may cause body movement, emotional awareness and release, and can produce a powerful body and mind response.
These exercises will help you experience your body more fully with safety and peace. They provide you with your own tools for self care and enhanced nervous system regulation at home.
You may experience physical sensations such as charged energy, inner vibration, heat or cold, and at times some discomfort.
You will also discover where you can touch to amplify peace, and positive resources.
These exercises deepen your understanding of the human experience and build trust of self, as well as elevate your sense of well being.
Over the course of these sessions you will deepen your inner connection and illuminate the gifts of our specific challenges in life. Your internal story will be powerfully transformed, illuminating the threads of your purpose, and open greater flow of your personal wisdom from life’s experience, informing your creative expression.
You will be invited to move your body in gentle ways. From reaching toward the sky to laying on the ground. Expect a mix of sitting, standing, laying, and movement.
The movement is gentle and safe. Dr Cynthia will offer support and accommodation for whatever your body needs. You should come ready to be challenged, but you will never be asked to do more than what you are able to.
Wear comfortable clothing that allows ease in movement and offers privacy when laying or bending. You are welcome to bring a yoga mat, cushion or blanket. Chairs and cushions are provided.
