PSYCHE: Yoga and Depth Psychology Training
Cultivate Trust in All the Ways Life Invites Us to Be, Feel and Live
Unravel Story, Digest Energy and Let Shakti Lead
This first 100-hour immersion of the 300-hour Advanced Embodied Yoga Training invites you into the terrain beneath the surface: the body as psyche, the psyche as living myth. It can be taken as a complete, standalone initiation or as the opening descent into the full training journey.
Rather than striving upward toward transcendence, PSYCHE turns us inward and downward toward sensation, symbol, shadow and instinct. Here, the soul does not speak in answers but in images, feelings, symptoms and longings. We learn to meet what has been split off, silenced, or exiled. Not to fix it, but to restore relationship. To cultivate trust in all that moves through us; both what is easeful, peaceful and soft as well as what churns us, upends us and calls us closer to the wilds.
This is a practice of honest presence. Of staying when it would be easier to bypass. Of allowing the body to reveal what the mind has learned to avoid.
Through slow, embodied inquiry, we cultivate the capacity to feel, to remember and to belong more fully to ourselves and to all of life.
Why PSYCHE is the essential first step in advanced facilitation
You will develop the capacity to sense, feel and respond from within rather than performing or outsourcing authority. Through deep somatic inquiry, you learn to trust the intelligence of your body and psyche so what you offer as a practitioner or facilitator arises from what is real, not rehearsed.
2. Access the unconscious through the body
PSYCHE trains you to work skillfully with the somatic unconscious. You will meet myth, symbol, dream and imaginal material as lived experience. You will gain practical tools to navigate inner landscapes through movement, sensation and presence, allowing buried or exiled material to come into conscious relationship.
3. Cultivate nervous system safety for deep inner work
You will learn how to establish containment and attunement in your own nervous system, creating the conditions for depth work to unfold without overwhelm. This capacity becomes the foundation for advanced facilitation, self-regulation and authentic relational presence.
4. Awaken creativity, mythic imagination and soul expression
Through movement, ritual, mantra, Active Imagination, poetry and painting you will reconnect with creativity as a living force. You will learn to allow psyche to speak through image, gesture, sound and symbol.
5. Develop advanced facilitation skills rooted in presence
By working within the group mind and participating in authentic relational fields, you will refine your ability to listen for what wants to emerge both individually and collectively. You learn how to co-create with space and allow mystery, complexity and transformation to emerge with integrity, sensitivity and depth.
