The Somatic Compass Course
Are you balancing the demands of your career and personal life, yet often find yourself overwhelmed, stressed, and disconnected? Do you crave more balance and ease, and are you interested in exploring the mind-body connection and its potential to enhance your well-being and resilience?
The Somatic Compass is a somatic resourcing model developed by Tess Pairon of House of Madu and Stine Chen of Body-Mind Awareness. It offers four somatic approaches to resource yourself and positively influence your well-being. This is foundational nervous system work that rewires your programming when practiced regularly. We offer experiential courses to professionals and organisations on understanding and working with our nervous systems to enhance self-awareness and intentionally move towards resilience.
Understanding our nervous systems is key to our individual and collective health. Unfortunately, social norms and modern workplaces often work against our biological design, leaving us chronically stressed, depleted and unfulfilled. Join our Somatic Compass course or connect with us for a bespoke offering tailored to your organisation’s needs.
Learn how to work with your biological design, instead of against it
Discover how your nervous system works and how stress uniquely manifests itself in you
Expand your toolkit of techniques for regulating and resourcing yourself
Improve your stress management skills and learn how to build resilience over time
A Somatic Compass for navigating well-being and resilience
Module 1: Embodied Awareness
Being attuned to the messages and signals of our bodies is the foundation of our well-being. This is the core principle and practice of the Somatic Compass, guiding us as we explore the different somatic approaches to resourcing.
Module 2: Inner Resourcing
There is a whole well of resources within you at all times. Learn how our most primal resource – breathing – can support your well-being, explore how you can connect to your inner islands of safety, and discover the power of imagination for stress management.
Module 3: Relational Resourcing
We are social creatures wired for connection. Our nervous systems are constantly interacting with and influenced by other people’s nervous system. Learn how to strengthen your connection with others while supporting your own well-being through co-regulation.
Module 4: Environmental Resourcing
Discover how to support your natural state of well-being through connecting with the environment and deepening your relationship with nature.
Practical Information
The Somatic Compass course spans four weeks and comprises four modules, each consisting of a 2-hour live Zoom session and supplementary learning materials and home practices to integrate the teachings into your daily life.
The course is offered several times a year, sometimes as an open-entry course for purpose-driven professionals and sometimes targeted at professionals in a specific sector. The next edition of this course will take place in May to June 2024 and will cater to professionals in the global development sector.
We can customise this course to align with your organisation’s needs and aspirations, and offer it in languages other than English, such as Dutch and Danish. Reach out to explore the possibilities, or subscribe to our newsletter below to stay updated with the latest news and offerings.
