Flexing Your Soul: Moving with Energy and Consciousness

with Alessandra Shepard, PhD, LMBT and Jalieh Milani

June 12-13 | Thurday-Friday 9:30am-5:30pm
14 continuing education contact hours | $285

This workshop is based on the book, Flexing Your Soul: Moving with Energy and Consciousness, written by Alessandra Shepard and Jalieh Milani (Pathwork Press, 2005). They are both Core-Energetic Body Therapists -- a system pioneered by John Pierrakos, MD.

From the beginning of our life, our nurturing (or lack of it) sculpts our body and shapes our emotions – and thus our life experiences. Focusing on how our body takes on the form of our early emotional life, we will explore the human energy system and observe how energy gets blocked in the body.

We will explore the various facets of energy and consciousness, and learn how awareness of the different energies can expand your knowledge and understanding of yourself and your clients. This approach can be very empowering and can open new doorways in your work with yourself and others.

Some of the modalities that will be used are exercises and movements, body readings, role-playing, and process work. Topics that will be covered include emotional, energetic and ethical boundaries; the integration of the five dimensions of human experience through massage and bodywork, and three key moments to incorporate energy and consciousness in your therapeutic practice.

In this workshop you will:

• Experiment moving with your body in a conscious way
• Integrate your new awareness and experience
• Gain greater clarity about resistance and how it manifests in the body, and in your life
• Experience greater access to your personal energy system and power

A copy of Flexing Your Soul is included with the workshop fee. The book has 130 pages, and more than 650 photographs of movements and exercises. It introduces energy anatomy, including the chakras accessed during each movement.
