A very warm welcome to all of you joining us from Bley and Denver and Texas and Germany oh it’s it’s late in Germany and Honolulu and New Mexico a very warm welcome to our feminine embodiment coaching certification information session very grateful that you’re here with us today and we have a
Fabulous session lined up so as we begin a warm welcome I’m joining from the Sunshine Coast in Queensland Australia this is the traditional lands of the gubby gubby people it’s where our headquarters are based but with that said we are a very International Bunch on your screen here you can see a
Representation of where our current community of teachers and participants in the coaching certification are based so what we all have in common is a desire to deepen into to our experience of the somatic and embodied arts and our community is built up of some members who are existing practitioners they may
Be skilled in the Realms of yoga different types of therapies have different modalities under their belt they’re wanting to deepen the way that they work using more somatic tools entering deeper vulnerable edges and that’s a big percentage of our community the other big percentage of our community are people who may haven’t
Coached or worked with clients before but they know the magic of the embodied arts and they’re called to expand their passions and ex maybe expand into working with women with clients in their communities and they’re exploring what that next chapter of pursuing something that has really awakened and been really
Valuable to them in their lives might be um what we all share everyone that’s joined us from this community is a desire to deepen into both our personal but also our professional skills in the embodied Arts that means deepening our Mastery and widening our stamina for both the sensual and pleasurable end of
The spectrum as well as the vulnerable and darker end of the spectrum like inhabiting more of the collidoscope of colors that we individually are and mastering professional tools where we can reproducibly invite others into their body to glean more answers more wisdom more knowledge and knowing in
Ways that are trauma informed that are safe and that are reproducible so this is who we are and I’m really grateful that you’re here with us today and welcoming you we also have with us on the call a number of members of our teaching team who I’d love to introduce so there’s myself
Jenna Ward I’m an Australian woman and I’m the founder of the school of embodied Arts we have also with us Michelle Lynn Michelle if you want to give us away we’re hearing from Michelle St Michelle’s based in the US we also have with us Kate leaper Kate is here
With us as well if you want to give us a wave up top there hey Kate we’ll be hearing from Kate soon as well and Sharon is the fourth member of our team who’s not with us today as she’s based in the UK and and is in bed
Sleeping so our teaching team will be hearing from them in a little bit what we want to dive into today and the the the territory that we’re going to be covering are first speaking about the philosophy of our school and this way of working so that we can understand what’s
At the heart of it how is it built what does it look like in more detail we’ll be meeting and hearing from the teaching team as well as taking a tour of our school and given that we’re a virtual community that exists like on every continent of the Earth this can be a
Really nice way to orientate a little bit more to what the experience is actually like when you or if you ever decide that you wanted to come and join us in the program so first of all let’s chat about philosophy what is at the heart of this
Modality and so that I can just best gauge how to serve those of you who are live here with us I’d love if you would just share in the chat if you’d be so kind to a little bit about um what is it that called you to come join us for this
Information session today like what was the feeling or the desire that had you show up to join us here today that helps me me make sure that I’m just hitting the mark in terms of meeting your desires so let me know in the chat what is it that had you saying yes and
Showing up here today so first of all our philosophy what is a feminine embodiment coach how is it different to other styles of coaching let’s grab let’s dive in to explore this in a little bit more detail because I certainly know that until I was quite a skilled practitioner in this
Space I found the embodiment and the coaching world to be a little bit Misty and confusing and so first let’s clarify exactly what feminine embodiment coaching is and what it’s not the easiest piece to Define in here is coaching coaching is quite poorly represented a coach is not someone who
Has the answers not someone who gives advice not someone who necessarily has a big Instagram following a coach is someone who can use questions to open new doorways of awareness for their clients so if we think of our bodies as a beautiful mansion with all these different rooms inside a coach is
Somebody who can partner with their client to understand their challenges and their goals and who can use questions to invite a client to explore doorways and perhaps even entire Wings entire stories of their being that they may not have explored on their own and so a good coach is a coach who can
Formulate and ask powerful questions questions that do open new awareness that the client hasn’t had the capacity or the time or the insight to find on their own now the types of questions that a coach asks can be huge if I’m a mindset coach I’m going to ask questions that
Invoke the mind if I’m an accountability coach I’ll be asking questions that uh to do with are you on track with your goals but as a feminine embodiment coach we’re asking questions that invoke the feminine and the body so let’s speak about those two components embodiment really simply put is about
Coming home to inhabit the Temple of our body it is about inhabiting ourselves being fully at home in every beautiful Creek uh in every beautiful curve and crevice an inch of this body both inside and out and that’s pretty countercultural it’s pretty countercultural to inhabit our body to relish and Delight in it
Because we live many of us live in cultures and in times where there is very much a fixation on a hyper masculine culture a go go go orientation to our culture where thoughts are more important than emotions and when rationale is more important than intuition darling Mama’s on a call and
I’m going to have to have you go with papa please oh my little mama heartbreaks we’ll just take a second for that here is a countercultural moment where we say it’s unprofessional for you to have your emotions in the workplace and yet how do we separate the
Fact that my bleeding heart as a mother to this cranky little four-year-old is also the one that’s like got to show up professionally with you here right now I think the point that I’m trying to make that here is that a lot of us turn down the volume on our sensitivities our
Emotions our feelings so that we can be more hyper masculine more logical more linear more rational because these are the values that our culture tells us are important are valued are associated with making money being professional and thus they sit much higher on the hierarchy of of like what’s important and what we
Value as a culture and as a result of this many of us from a very young age have learned to turn down the volume on our inner World we’ve learned to turn down the volume on our internal Sensations and feelings and intuitions and knowings the language of the body is
Sensation it is feeling it is knowing it doesn’t come to in words or explanations or systems of belief it comes to us as pure Primal impulse and many of us have had to turn down the volume on those impulses in order to be able to perform and get by in the world
That does not make us broken or defective but it does mean that our ability to then inhabit the full spectrum of ourselves which is linear and nonlinear masculine and feminine begins to become quite distorted until we get to the point whereby this the volume on our Sensations is turned down
To such a degree that we don’t even notice when we’re hungry or when we’re thirsty or when our body has a need or we need to create a new boundary or we’re about to emotionally erupt or what’s living below that layer of num and so embodiment really speaks to
The idea of the body being a valuable asset it’s literally 90% of our being everything from the neck down embodiment speaks to the idea that this language of sensation knowing and inner feeling is one that’s really valuable and it is a dimension of our awareness which we as coaches should be
Investigating it’s our mindset is part of that but it’s only like one tenth of the equation this brings us to the final component of feminine embodiment coaching and and that’s the feminine bit I’ve already speak spoken to and alluded to this a little bit I’m speaking to the
Feminine here as an energy not as a gender I believe all bodies of all gender identities hold this feminine end of the spectrum and The Feminine end of the spectrum is beautifully represented by Mother Nature it is the feeling flowing emotionally alive sensitive sensual magnetic creative imp
Pulse of Life experiencing itself and so living in for many of us these hyper masculine cultures the feminine qualities of let’s say for example honoring the season or the cycle of life that we’re in these feminine qualities are often undervalued and for many hundreds of years in many countries have
Been persecuted shunned and silenced so when we’re thinking about feminine embodiment coaching we’re thinking about asking powerful questions by bringing our awareness to the body including the full spectrum of feelings and thoughts that exist within us but this definition is maybe still a little bit like but what does that look
Like what does it actually look like in practice to be a feminine embodiment coach so for those of you who might be thinking about well what would I expect if I was receiving a session the model of coaching if we think about feminine embodiment coaching coaching is talk based work we’re using
Our words and we’re using our language to invite an exploration in a client’s body that means we’re not touching a client we don’t have our hands on our client’s body but that doesn’t mean that it’s a type of talk or conversation that’s very like static or stagnant if
We want the body to be part of the conversation there will be times where we might invite invite our clients to touch or move or breathe or sound or engage their active Al body we’re not telling them the posture to move into we’re not putting our hands onto our
Clients we’re using our words and we’re allowing their body to lead and to bring new awareness to light so that’s the first thing to clarify the second thing to clarify is that coaching is about moving from a space of functioning well into really thriving in life so our clients will
Generally have a challenge or an obstacle or a problem that they want to evolve into some kind of Greater desire greater goal greater yearning greater actualization of themselves in the way that we facilitate that movement from kind of problem into pleasure very very simply put we are again using our words
We’re having a conversation and we’re doing this in a setting that’s most typically one to one so this is very different to group embodiment work where I might have a room of people come together and we are all going to let’s say for example take an embodied exploration of our
Boundaries in a group setting the practitioner the coach doesn’t necessarily have the ability to dive into one individual person’s nuanced everything because they’ve got to take care of the group so feminine embodiment coaching in the way that our school um teaches it is primarily a one to one:
One model so we’re working with one client the reason that we do this is because this is where the deepest most vulnerable intimacy based work happens like this is where we Master our skills because because it’s the messiest it presents the greatest unknown because we’re really diving Into
The Depths with our client and most importantly if we want these practitioner skills to become a profitable business that could replace an income or sustain us onetoone client work is the most profitable type of client work because it’s the most intimate so this onetoone client work often creates a lot of financial
Viability for new establishing businesses now that’s not to say that these skills can’t be translated into the group setting many of our past graduates have taken the philosophy and the principles we’ll be speaking about soon and they have translated it into the group setting and we in fact have a
Training on um in module five we have a training on group coaching embodied group coaching to explore some of the ways that you might be able to facilitate group settings but this translation generally happens after you’ve really mastered the ability to go deep with potency with speed with our
Clients so when we think about what a session looks like we’re working with a client from a stable functioning base into thriving we’re doing the most deep intimate work using words using conversation as the tool that invokes the client to expand more of their own awareness and this does make feminine
Embodiment coaching quite different from other styles of coaching we’re approaching our seventh year of offering this program we first offered it in 2018 and we’ve had around 700 people come and join us through the experience during that time and over these seven years we’ve really seen the world of embodiment and somatics
Flourish these words are hot these concepts are hot I believe it’s because like my personal belief system around this is that we need a Resurgence of coming back to the body and coming back to the feminine like it is culturally what our planet needs at this time and
So with this said uh what makes this style coach of coaching different to others we’ve already explored some of the components of the feminine and the embodied I think in the realm of different types of somatic um and embodiment coaching pieces one of the core pieces there’s a number of pieces
But one of the core pieces to highlight in terms of kind of the uniqueness of how we do it is that we bring a very clear lens of analysis around what it means to inhabit a body as a woman at this time every individual of social location and identity has a different
Experience of what it’s like to become disembodied and find our way home again we all have totally unique lived experiences on that front and those lived experiences are very valuable they can inform and shape the flavor of our practitioners ship immensely but exploring some of the big systemic
Factors about what it means for women to be in or or separate from their bodies is quite a strong lens of analysis that we bring both through practice and Personal Mastery and also Theory so written analysis of the systemic factors that are happening at our planet on this
Time and I think that’s pretty unique in terms of the context for how we do our work because we’re not broken or deficient or lacking if we’re not deeply embodied all the time the world would have us be this way I think it’s really important for us to have an
Understanding and appreciation of that for our own journey into and like deeply home into our bodies and also to bring that same lens of compassion and understanding into the way that we work with our clients the other thing the other way that makes this style of coaching globally quite different is that it’s
Just not shallow we’re not scratching the surface here we’re doing some deep work we’re having a fullbody conversation and our core philosophy as a school states that now take just take a moment to feel this for yourself as I share it our core philosophy as a school states that your
Deepest nature is one of flow like the essential spark the unique essence of who you are it is designed to flow through you and out into the world and it flows out into the world through the actions that you take the words that you speak the boundaries that you create
The way you spend your time the way you dress the way you decide the way you vote with your dollar all of these embodied actions all of these ways that your body acts in the world this is either an expression of this deep flow and this actualization of who you are or it’s
Not and we live in cultures and times where for many of us it’s not appropriate it’s not it’s not financially viable we just haven’t been taught the skills for that flow of our essential nature to be actualized and to be fully embodied like let’s get a show of hands here if you’ve
Had a moment where instead of this beautiful divine nature flowing out into the world instead of that happening you’ve had to maybe do what’s expected of you or hold it all together or control or contort yourself or dishonor yourself in some way in order to insert thing that you
Need to do here I think for many of us the world is frequently perpetuating micro and macro dishonoring on us but we’re also very often having to contort ourselves for to create those same little micro dishonoring where the essential flow of who we are is not necessarily free to be fully embodied in
The world those are the times and this is the culture that live in and it’s a little bit heartbreaking and it’s exactly what has got us into this situation globally and what happens as we diminish or deny that essential flow of who we are out into the world that life force
Energy that wanted to be actualized but that wasn’t able to be actualized that life force energy begins in the FC model to be damned up begins to be withheld begin begins to accumulate and we describe the accumulation of it as the building up of Frozen tension so this life force energy
Instead of flowing into action begins to silently accumulate and at first it is a silent accumulation but there’s only so much tension the body can hold silently at some point when enough of that Frozen life force has accumulated that Frozen tension begins to actually genuinely damn up who we are to the point
Whereby we are we are not even sure who we are or what we want in the world anymore and Fe as a modality IGN acknowledges that in order for you to be fully actualized in your pleasure in yourself in your expression in the way you spend your
Time and the way you show up in your world that life force energy that bound up life force energy needs to be melted it needs to re-enter circulation it is an asset that life force is an asset that is part of you and that needs to be
And wants to be free to flow out into the world and so as a modality FEC is really concerned with moving towards goals but we know that given this deep nature of our flow and our tension we can’t just the surface and make an action plan for
The 10 steps to get over my procrastination when there’s very often a deeper driver and much more life force available for us if we go inquiring and so as a modality FEC is about this concept of depth first Direction sent second we want to deepen into our body
To explore the Dynamics of where is their Frozen tension where is their flow where where is their life force to be reclaimed and re-embodied and as we gather more resources within us then we can begin to mobilize those resources in the direction of our doing but if we
Skim the surface and we don’t Traverse these deeper territories we are operating with diminished resources and with a whole heap of our life force bound up that’s not going to create very pleasurable or magnetic doing so one of the core pieces of our philosophy really lives around this concept of depth first Direction
Second very curious just to know how that little piece lands for you if you would be so kind as to let us know if you’re joining us live in the chat if that aligns with you if you have something you’d like to add we’ve got a lot of intersecting Mastery in the room
So always welcoming diverse perspectives and philosophies let us know in the chat now that we’ve spoken a little bit about what is at the heart of this modality let’s talk a little bit more about the structures and the actual Frameworks that exist within FEC we didn’t invent feminine embodiment
Or coaching we didn’t invent any of these things they all exist but what our school has done is taken these Concepts and create some structures some Frameworks some language and some tools so that we can Traverse the very nebulous world of the embodied feminine with greater ease we find that a lot of
Uh individuals and women who come to study and train with us you know they’re switched on Smart very competent people and they’re already they already know a lot of what it is that they want to do in the world but very often they’re seeking some reproducible structures Frameworks tools and language anguage to
With greater ease with greater reproducibility do this deep work with their clients and so the Frameworks and the tools that we as a school use are reproducible systems that are not going to activate someone’s latent trauma that support and move our clients at a safe Pace but that also get our clients
Reproducible results and they provide a lot of ease for the coach when we don’t have reproducible system that works it can feel like we’re doing it wrong or we’re constantly having to overdraw on our own inner intuition in order to navigate a session and that can become really exhausting and
Unsustainable so by having these Frameworks and these structures in place we can rest into that we can let that structure hold us and that a little bit speaks to the masculine ability to hold and provide form so that as practitioners we’re free to dance and
Flow in our own way so let’s look at what this means in terms of some of these components the first is the core coaching framework the core coaching framework is like an umberella framework that we use for every single coaching session with our clients and it’s a
Framework that a lot can be inserted beneath you can insert our FEC coaching tools but you can also insert other modalities and skills innate gifts passions or politics that you have as well as your unique lived experience so that within this umbrella there’s the ability for all of you to
Have a cohesive framework to work with we find that a lot of um existing practitioners who come to study and to flourish with us they have sets of tools that are very dogmatic and very rigid where there is not a lot of freedom for them to flourish with with their own
Flavor through I think that’s a real shame because a good modality and a good set of tools should enhance your natural gifts and should enhance and clarify your passions and your lived experience so that they’re free to flourish more not to be stifled and so these Frameworks are not designed to put
Practitioners in a box in fact the exact opposite they’re designed to provide an umbrella under which all of you can flourish with now as we’ve discussed previously coaching is about moving from a place of something that’s generally undesirable into a more pleasurable goal or a more pleasurable State and so this core
Coaching framework is a framework that reproducibly supports our clients to first attune to the speed of the client’s body and come home a lot of people zoom into coaching sessions like pretty much in their head because that’s the culture that most of us are living in so we deepen with our clients adjust
The speed of their body and get them more available to hear there inner wisdom we would then be clarifying the goal with our clients deepening to unravel any Frozen tension and find greater flow and then moving forward into the direction of what’s the wisdom what’s the next steps what’s the action
What’s the three-dimensional doing that actually comes as a result of this and so so I just noticed in the chat a question around how do we balance all of this feminine embodiment with the masculine go and doing well very often most of us and most of our clients are
Very highly skilled in the masculine doing orientations but so often our doing is not rooted first in feminine depth and feeling and so this core coaching framework has the Practical pieces around what are we actually going to do what’s the actual practical three-dimensional steps that we need to
Take and we contemplate those steps once we’re fully resourced by the depth of the feminine this core coaching framework is a space whereby we can work on actual real life very three-dimensional very practical challenges and problems in deeply felt ways and that’s pretty unique because it’s not a process of spiritual
Bypassing or just being all in the exploration it is also very grounded in the three-dimensional we have clients who take uh this way of working and bring it into corporate spaces bring it into client work in ways that is kind of more woo or less woo I use that term
With a grain of salt because it’s not my favorite but this uh core coaching framework means that how we decide whether it’s more scientific or more spiritual how we decide to practice there’s an umberella for us to bring our own flavor into that the next piece that I’d like to
Point out from our coaching frames and our tools is the coaching frames so there’s four coaching frames that really underpin the philosophy of how we show up to coach I’m just going to speak very briefly to these first four the first one is the power is the
Clients we see our client as infinitely powerful and is having the answers and the resources that they need to flourish already existing within them it is not the job of that practitioner to have the answers to know what’s right to give advice that’s not my job my job is to
Ask powerful questions so that the client can reveal what they already might deeply know to be true and in order for us to hold our client as as infinitely powerful we as practitioners have to be able to do that ourselves so as a school we have a big focus on Personal
Mastery absolutely the second core coaching frame is around unskilled over broken so let’s explain what this one means we believe our clients are not defective and they’re not broken we don’t even very often use the word resistance or blocks because while many of us may feel like we’re suffering from a sense of
Brokenness or to not enoughness or that we’ve got resistance and blocks like coming out the Wazoo while we may in fact feel that either as a result of a personal experience or as a result of like the systems and conditions that we’re living in based on the identities
That we hold the fact is that for many of us learning to contact and coming home to reinhabit to re-embody our power that’s actually a skill it’s a skill to be sensitive it’s a skill to be in contact with our power and that skill may be something that is easier or more
Difficult for us to consistently learn and employ depending on our lived experiences but none of us are broken or defective or missing this natural spark of divinity like it exists in us all and so our view is that the process of embodiment the processing coming into
Contact with our power in more and more so that it we can embody it more and more this is a skill the more we practice it the better we get at it the third coaching frame is around experience over explanation so I’m doing a lot of explaining today so that your
Head can understand all of the components that you’re here to understand and explanation can be useful but explanation cannot implant a truth into somebody’s body the truth of something is always in the feel of it let’s take a moment with that the truth of something is really in the feel
Of it and for somebody to contact their truth their answer they don’t need an explanation or a lect they often need an invitation into deeper vulnerability and deeper inhabiting of their own body and so as a modality we really value vulnerability over Theory we value tenderness over textbook
Definitions and we have multiple streams of training in the program we’ll speak about those later on one of the streams is about Personal Mastery and this is that Direct experience so that it saturates your bones and you know it from the inside out we also have a
Theory stream so that your head H can understand and can enjoy those lectures as well because that’s really important as a practitioner to understand both the scientific but also the spiritual philosophy that this work is based upon that can lend great credibility and a sense of confidence in the work that
You’re doing but it doesn’t surpass the embodied reality that we have to metabolize the through our own cells all the way down to our bones if we’re really to feel the truth of something and so as a modality the way that FEC is built is very much around centering
Experience ere explanations for our clients the final coaching frame is around speed but only with depth and this is what we’ve described already around balancing the need for momentum with the knowing that we’ve got to go deep into into the body to reclaim any Frozen tension or bound up life force
Energy and bring all of our resources to the table before we step into our doing next I’d like to speak about the pillars of embodiment so again this is a core kind of underpinning framework that’s just woven through every single thing that we do in this program so we might be thinking as
Practitioners contemplating like any ing the nebulous world of the body I like to think of our bodies as these universes wrapped in skin there’s sometimes a dark difficult to navigate place with all kinds of dimensions and as practitioners we want to know how can I safely titrate the
Intensity of entering into that unknown and entering into vulnerability how can I deepen with myself and with my clients in trauma sensitive ways way how can we involve the body in ways that are reproducible and that are work like how are we going to know what right questions to ask to
Get where we want to go in something as expansive as someone’s inner Universe the pillars of embodiment are how we can they’re one of the core pieces that underpin how we can create and frame and use our questions to be somatically centered and if you would
All be so kind I would actually love just to work through a little example here together I’m going to put on my coach hat and ask you two questions they’re they’re the same question one is with the pillars of embodiment one’s without and I’m just going to invite you to
Notice what arises within yourself when I offer you these two variants of the same question so variant one take a moment and just consider what what does your heart have to say right now what does your heart have to say right now no right or wrong just contemplate
That and notice what happens in response okay I’m going to give you variant two now take a breath and come and place your hands somewhere on your body maybe over your heart feel the weight of your body on the chair and as you breathe in just see if there’s any movements or adjustments
Your might heart might ask for so that you can bring your awareness to it a little bit more fully taking a breath and letting your awareness move down into your heart space and as you breathe here maybe even feeling the beating of your heart what
Does your heart want you to know in this moment take a breath perhaps closing your eyes if it’s safe for you to do so and just notice what does your heart want you to know in these feelings And then in your own time when you’re ready if you’d be so kind just take a moment to share in the chat what happened between those first and second variants of the question variant one was without the pillars of embodiment I asked what does your heart have to say
Right now personally I felt my heart was like beating quite strongly I’m presenting at the moment and that’s what I noticed like some more gross physical Sensations on the second go round when there was the invitation to bring more of the pillars of embodiment awareness and breath movement and sound into the
Equation ah my b my whole body felt different and there was a deeper awareness that happened in my heart this is not the right or wrong answer there’s no right or wrong in this space it’s just the invitation to notice what were those two questions like with and without the pillars of
Embodiment we weave these into every spell we cast and every question and every moment with our clients so that we can bring more of the body’s awareness online and I so appreciate those of you who are sharing in the chat so these pillars of embodiment are a core foundation of the modality they
Can be built into an infinite number of tools and as a school we have we’ve built we’ve created four recipes for 14 different coaching tools that provide for our participants examples of how the work can be configured these tools range from embodied goal setting to liberating Frozen tension there’s tools for vulnerability and
Boundaries tools for exploring inner archetypes magnetism pleasure and the list goes on there’s so many different tools and these tools can be used in a huge variety of settings like we have practice iers who take these umberella Concepts and the tools that we provide they blend it with their passions and
Lived experience and they use these tools in Realms like marketing and divorce and dating and Sex Magic and midlife exploration and ancestral reconnection and grief work and feminine leadership and marketing and like the list goes on it’s quite extraordinary how many diverse Realms of life that these
Coaching tools can be used and can be applied and these tools are kind of a sum of all of the different philosophies and components that we’ve spoken about as ways that we can really sink our teeth in get some really practical structures Frameworks to practice and master and then with time
Transcend so this is an overview of our coaching frames and our tools if you have any questions on or around that I really encourage you you can drop it in the chat for our teaching team who are here live you can always pop us an email
Or reach out to us if you’d ever like to speak with us about the program all of the details are at feminine embodiment coaching.com and we speak with everybody who’s interested in the program to make sure that what you’re wanting to create and actualize is a good fit for this
Experience and make sure that you’re simply really well informed before embarking on this delicious Journey so I’d love to pause here for a moment and take some time for us to meet the teaching team before we take a tour of the school first I’m going to uh introduce you to Sharon miat who’s
Our UK based teacher Sharon’s not able to be with us today as she’s soundly asleep in the UK given time zones but I asked Sharon to share a little bit around her key role in Fe and also around a meaningful interaction that she’s had in the program so Sharon shared and I
Quote I wear several hats in the FEC program I’m a feminine embodiment coach teacher in the program a mentor embodied movement facilitator and I facilitate the women of color Community Support Circle I’m also currently facilitating our fall cohort group I offer community support through our Facebook group and
Do project management behind behind the scenes as well as being on the grading team so I am a fascinating and diverse mix of roles I asked Sharon to share a meaningful interaction that she’s had in the program and Sharon shared and I quote I have the privilege of many
Meaningful interactions in the program noticeably I recently coached a participant in a 60-minute feminine embodiment coaching session we explored the themes of menopause productivity and rest I wanted to highlight this because it’s cultural to hold the views that we do such as honoring the transition of inner life Seasons as women how we
Untangle that from capitalism and come to listen to our body’s call for rest and all this work is done in the body so it’s truly a joy to hold space for these complexities guide women to their own body’s wisdom during a coaching session and for our participants to feel the
Permission to embody countercultural practices in in a community of like-minded women doing the same we collectively honor the natural intelligent and nourishment that women specifically require for their well-being and vitality it is genuinely my passion for women to remember and to reclaim their innate feminine wisdom so lovely to share that on behalf
Of Sharon and we have with us Kate and Michelle so I’m going to invite Michelle to share first Michelle is one of our teachers who’s based in the United States I see you here and I’m going to Spotlight you for a second Michelle if you would be so ke
Kind as to share with us welcome hi everyone well that was such a beautiful and articulate description from Sharon I find it hard to top that but I will attempt um yes I’m Michelle it’s so lovely to connect with all of you thank you all so much for being here
It’s really a delight and a joy to be able to share this work with you um I also have quite diverse roles around our community you’ll see me sometimes on your certification calls if you’re interested in the program to find out more about what we offer and if this is
A good fit for you you’ll see me on the onetoone coaching sessions you’ll see me on teaching calls as well as on the graduation calls as I have the privilege of celebrating the graduation of so many of our wonderful coaches and participants as they finish the program
Um I’m also doing a lot of Community Management these days so you’ll see me very active in the Facebook group we have a really vibrant and engaged community in the Facebook group um and with our support circles so I do a lot of management of those things
Um yes I wanted to also share a a recent experience in the program so I I have the privilege of speaking to so many really exciting change makers and movers and shakers who come through this program both hearing from you all on your certification calls and in your
Coaching calls and around our community and many of you already shared in the chat which was so inspiring the reasons that you’re here and all of the like big powerful visions that are wanting to move through you and that are drawing you to step into this work in a bigger
And more powerful way so that is such a joy of of working in this program and uh supporting all of you into your full Mastery with coaching and with feminine embodiment because um it’s just so inspiring to see all the visions that you all want to actualize and bring into
Fruition in the world so recently I had an opportunity to do one of our coaching feedback sessions which is where participants can submit a recording of their coaching session and we Workshop it together live on a call and so it was just such a delight and a joy to see um this participants
Coaching and the evolution of her Mastery and her skills and to see her doing such really inspiring and beautiful coaching live on the call um it it was just such a delight and a joy to share that with our community and so enriches our community it’s really such
A privilege for us to be able to hear each other coaching and to be able to draw from and learn from our each other’s intersecting math Mastery and perspectives and and what we bring to the table in our coaching so that’s what I’d like to share thank you so much for
Being here thanks Jenna thank you for sharing Michelle lovely to hear a little bit about your role and I’m going to also welcome Kate to join us and share a little bit about your role take yourself off mute Kate welcome hello thanks Jenna thanks everyone it’s really very special to be
Here at this info session and um this training has been instrumental in my life it has really uh been such a profound experience for me because I joined this training back uh in the very first cohort 2018 and it’s still blows my mind that it’s been that when Jenna says we’re
Moving into our seventh year I can’t quite yeah that that doesn’t make any sense it’s it’s supported me both personally and professionally since I completed um my training through having babies living life huge life transitions major losses and so alongside my own um personal work being a teacher for the
School of embodied darts has um just provided this absolutely foundational and fundamental kind of support structure in my life and also given me the opportunity to connect with so many incredible diverse inspiring um women as um as Michelle has said I mean there is nothing like plugging into this
Community for a dose of exceptional humans I’ve got to say it is uh it is such a joy and so my I feel like I’m kind of repeating uh what both Michelle and Sharon said in the fact that my role in uh in the school is also really
Really varied wearing lots of different hats and that has shape-shifted over the course of many years um so you’ll also see me in um the enrollment calls you’ll see me in the teaching calls uh the one-on-one coaching calls one area that I have been uh quite focused on particular particularly in the last
Couple of years has been the graduation end of the certification and uh it truly is just I mean I can’t even describe what it’s like to meet and I will attempt to in a moment but to meet somebody at the beginning of their feminine embodiment coaching journey and welcome them into
The training and then to meet them once again at the close of their experience and to celebrate them as a coach it is it is a phenomenal um experience to actually witness their expansion and and uh deepening and all of the the rest of the juicy stuff that this training
Offers so I wanted to share with you specifically just last week I had a graduation and mentoring celebration with one of our coaches and this particular woman uh I just remember so vividly she um luxuriated in the training over a year and so at the beginning of her
Journey she came in and she was hungry she just she knew she was in the right place but she had you know as we all do she just carried layers of these ideas around who she was and and um what that meant and what her capacity or potential
Might be and so over time just watching her just find herself come home to herself again and then be able to hold the most glorious and Powerful space for another in her coaching calls so she submitted her two coaching calls which I reviewed and then we came together and
It just blew my mind to watch her and the power and the ease and the intuitive Mastery that she had in supporting these women and to see her just absolutely radiating um this sense of self in our final um celebration meeting together was just hands down it made my weak so I
Think that’s what I’m really wanting to share with you is just uh this training is such a portal for all of the good stuff um personally and professionally so it’s a real privilege to be able to um tap into that at the end thank you thank you so much Kate each of our
Teachers uh has been through the training has practiced and worked as a coach themselves and holds a very distinct and unique flavor set of passions and ways of working with this modality so just so grateful to have such phenomenal coaches humans practitioners and women on our
Team at this point given that we’ve just been talking about celebrations and graduations I think it’s a really nice point to announce who we’re going to be gifting to feminine embodiment coaching sessions to so for those of you who have been here live with us thank you we have
Two kind of bonuses on the call for today the first is that we’re giving away two feminine embodiment coaching sessions the second is that we have a really special enrollment bonus to accompany those who are joining us in the certification this month we are all
Of us most of us living in times of a cost of living crisis and we really desire this work to be accessible and available financially and so we’re offering a 12 Monon payment plan which is twice the length of our usual payment plan for those people who might be
Called to join the certification this December but desire a little bit more financial spaciousness in their payment installments and for those who maybe are looking ahead to 2024 and thinking about how they’re going to move forward with their desires and their passions in the
New year so do know that for all of you who are listening to this recording in December 2023 and for those of you who are live you’re so welcome to join us with an extended payment plan over 12 months if you’re interested and for the two bonus coaching calls my team our
Team has just popped some names in a hat and drawn them out quite literally L our ops manager who’s doing some magic in the back has done that and she’s let me know that Lee Gordon and Nikki stem stamitz apologies if I pronounce that incorrectly we’ll be receiving a gift uh
Feminine embodiment coaching session so Lee and Nikki if you could just pop us your best email address to uh support at Jenner w.co or you can pop it to L in the chat privately we will get you set up with those gift Fe sessions and really hope that you enjoy
Them it’s time now for us to take a tour of the school and give you a little peek of what it looks like behind the scenes so first of all as Kate just so beautifully mentioned the program is a 6 to 12 month program and so when we’re
Looking at an overview of how this school works it’s built up of a lot of different components but at the heart we are a 6 to 12 months program and we have built the program quite deliberately this way because some people desire to finish as quickly as six months and in
Fact the fastest anyone’s ever done it was five months that was one of our graduates from Western Australia in 20 and 22 her coaching was Ninja and she was just a phenomenal practitioner but a lot of people desire to take longer and so we offer up to 12 months of full program
Support because everybody’s body learns and unravels at different speeds this program is not about enforcing an academic model on you for Learning and retaining data it’s much more concerned with the Deep metabolism of these teachings and ways of operating so that we can become really deep in our own
Mastery and offer our client sessions from that place of deep resonance and that’s why we’ve built the program in this way so if you ever decide to come join us and we would love to have you first of all we get started with a welcome to the program so when you first
Join you’ll gain access to our private members area and here you’ll get firstly an orientation to the program an overview of how it works so that you can really set yourself up for success we’re going to pop you a little gift in the post and invite you to meet with our
Teaching team to re clarify your desire is what you’re wanting to get out of this experience and make sure that you’re really set up for success in it so everyone has different goals and Desires in joining us in the program for some people it’s about the skills to
Coach for others it’s about the Mastery of their personal embodiment for others still it is about actualizing A New Path professionally or P personally and so those desires are really unique to you and this space is very much a container for what you want to actualize to Really
Flourish and come to fruition so you meet with the teaching team and if you desire we’ll also offer to set you up with a small support circle of peers who are starting the program at the same time so so far this month we’ve had participants from New Zealand uh Canada
And the and the United States already joined the program and we’ve put of those peers in time zone appropriate support circles so that they can have kind of a small group of their people to support them as they move through the program and as you get set up and get
Welcomed we’ll then open up the uh six core modules that constitute the self-paced component of the training so we have six modules which are delivered over six months you’re very welcome to move at your own pace at the speed that you move through these modules and if we look at what’s
Actually within the modules we first be the first two to three modules are about the deeper darker more vulnerable end of the spectrum we’re diving into the internal felt sense and the primary mechanics of embodiment we’re exploring the Realms of Shame and power we’re discovering the unknown and how we might create eight
Boundaries the second lot of three modules are then an expansion into the more pleasurable and light end of the spectrum we’re looking at pleasure and sensual aliveness in module 4 magnetism and polarity in module 5 and module six is com comprised around embodied entrepreneurship so these are the
Foundations to set yourself up as a coach and how you might actually call in your first one to three clients Within each of these six modules there are three different streams of training the first is Personal Mastery so here we’re looking at our personal resonance depth and practice we’re
Looking at how can I take all the tools that we’re learning in this module and how can I create Mastery and safety and stability in my body first we can only take our clients as far and as deep as we’re comfortable traversing ourselves so this person Personal Mastery stream
Is about cultivating our resonance as a coach so that when we show up to work with our clients in a session we have explored this terrain through our own body we know it for ourselves intimately and this creates Rock Solid confidence in the ability to hold others in the
Traversing of that nebulous inner World This Personal Mastery stream can include initiations and rituals embodied movement practices reflective writing and self- coaching the second stream is the Theory stream which is available as a manual for you to keep but also audio so you can stream it like a podcast if that’s how you
Prefer to L learn and listen the Theory stream explores the relevant philosophy both scientific and spiritual that really underpin the coaching tools so that you have a broader analysis for what we’re doing and why we’re doing it that way the third stream is the coaching stream so here we are building our coaching
Toolbox with each subsequent module we learn more coaching tools Each of which include guides and handouts demonstrations live discussions q&as so that you can really get to know these tools these different coaching tools inside out so these are our self-paced six modules of training and while this component it
Might happen on your own at your own pace at your own time we have a whole heap of live components this is the even though this is a virtual online program we’re very concerned with creating a live Community that’s vibrant that’s engaging that can support you to metabolize what you’re learning so
There’s a number of supports that are available for you to plug into the teaching team myself and our community to receive and to metabolize support one of the these is our live calls so we have active live calls happening regularly there’s three calls per fortnite this means that there’s about
Five per month if you’re with us in the program for 12 months there’s at least 60 different live calls that you’re invited to join it’s not expected that you Jo join them all you’re going to join at a time zone that works best for you um given that we’re an International
Community we have usually a live call that happens during business hours and then another one that happens early evening for most places in the world so I’m here in Australia we have um one during the week on a Thursday and early evening on a Tuesday evening and that alternates depending on
Where you are out in the world now our live calls they’re not dactic teaching calls we’re not lecturing you it’s not an opportunity to receive new materials instead we’re here to experience and discuss and demonstrate and come together as a community we have different call types we have teaching
Calls where we might explore one particular tool or demonstrate some coaching or discuss one of our participants coaching if they’re comfortable sharing that with the group we have Community calls this is where you have the chance to speak with peers who at a similar point in the program get your questions answered come
Together to practice and swap coaching with teers who are in a similar module to you we also have embodied movement calls this is where we’re coming together as a group to do our Personal Mastery practices and do some embodied movement these are super Lush delicious calls all of these live calls are also
Indexed into our call library so if you’re for example in module two exploring embodied goal setting and you just want to really dive into a lot of materials and questions or demonstrations there is a vast pool of materials really as much as you want but you don’t have to be overwhelmed by that
If you want more demonstrations and more examples in addition to these live calls we have a whole heap of community supports now I’m going to scoot through these pretty quick because I don’t want them to overwhelm you but we have first a members directory where you can see
Who else in the world and what different parts of the World um other peers are in the program so you can find people close by to you or with similar interests to you we also have a virtual community over in Facebook where you can ask questions access myself and the teaching
Team and it’s a really lovely place to um just get your questions answered or have a check-in or find a peer to practice with we also have the a really wonderful opportunity when you first join the program we’ll make sure that you receive at least one feminine embodiment
Coaching session so that you can receive the modality and sit in the client seat and really understand what it is to feel the power of this modality and where we’re heading toward towards as practitioners we also regularly hold accountability challenges for our community so Michelle held one of these
Last week where it was the opportunity to clarify a focus and use embodied principles and feminine leadership principles to really work towards your goals so we regularly hold accountability challenges around whether it’s practicing embodied movement self-mastery or just moving forward through the program we also have the opportunity for
You to PE partner up with peers to give receive or swap some coaching and this honest honest to godess like must be one of the most valuable components and I hear this regularly from participants if you’re earlier on in the program you can just sit back and receive coaching from
People who are a little bit further along than you you can receive as much coaching as you desire as you grb as you kind of gather your coaching skills you’ll have the invitation and the opportunity to swap a series of coaching sessions with another peer this is a
Great way to get to know other people but also to develop yourself and as you progress further further on through the program if you’re wanting more practice you can give and practice as many sessions on peers as you desire so we regularly set up and facilitate peer partner practice because it’s such a
Gift to be able to receive coaching personally like free coaching from really fabulous practitioners as well as the opportunity to give it we regularly hold as a team as well office hours so if you uh have a question about the program or just want to have a personal checkin you can make
An appointment to knock on our Virtual Office door and we’ll just check in with you around the program and have a short 15minute chat about any topics challenges that you might be experiencing and finally last but not least we regularly hold live immersions so just last month we were in London
Holding a two-day live immersion for about 30 of our participants and coming up again in 2024 we’ll be holding another two-day live immersion exclusively for participants of the coaching certification both past and current to come together for some really rich embodiment practices so this is the tool uh this is
The school and all the components that exist within it and although this is a bit of a breeze through how it is structured I hope this gives you a sense of some of the multifaceted components that are built built to develop and to support you ultimately you’re free and welcome to
Take advantage of as much or as little as you desire and I’d love to just wrap this school Tour by reminding you of our December bonus around the 12mon payment plan that we’re offering this month so thank you for taking the tour thank you for joining us for this information
Session this brings us towards our close but we’ve got a little little bit of time left so if there are any questions I’m very happy to answer those you can just pop them in the chat and for those of you who have joined us live I just wanted to again Express such sincere
Deep thanks for you being here and joining us today it’s been a joy now cat asks in the chat can these practices be used on men as well yes feminine embodiment coaching is a model of coaching that’s suitable for any person age 18 years or older so our scope of
Practice in terms of professionally who we can uh practice with and receive Indemnity insurance to be insured to practice with is any person of any gender we find that the majority of our participants the majority of our coaches tend to work with women that’s just what they’re passionate about but I
Absolutely know many of our past graduates who work with men who some work with couples some work with people of more more gender fluid identities every body has a feeling sensing body which is alive with sensation so everybody can benefit from these tools absolutely Caitlyn’s asking how often do
You admit new participants and new students so the doors to our program and our training are open year round this means you don’t have to wait until a certain start date to join if the time for you to join is now then we will facilitate your welcoming and getting
Set up and introduction to our community anytime you’re ready Caitlyn thank you for asking Michelle Mah is asking how many active participants are there at this time that is a great question there is an exact number but it’s around the 101 participants in our community uh 110 sorry Community participants at the
Moment we tend to sit somewhere around 100 to 120 at any point in time which means that on any particular let’s say live call if I’m in Australia I’m going to generally be getting the Australia like people who are in the um asia-pacific re region so we have some
Participants right now who are in Korea some who are in the Middle East some who are in New Zealand and Australia we tend to find that we’re usually together on a live call together similarly if I’m in the States you tend to get people from North America and South America joining
At that time so at any live call there could be up to 15 to 20 people joining that live call which means we generally have Rich discussions but there’s still intimacy and connection within the group and within the wider group like within our virtual community we’ll have up to
100 110 120 participants at any point in time Christine is asking how many hours a week if you attend all the classes that’s a great question so there’s three calls per fortnite and each of our live calls are 90 minutes long so if you wanted to attend so if you were
Attending everything if you were happy to do a call during your business hours a call early evening and then a call at probably it’s going to end up at like 2: a.m. there’ll be one call that’s at something a.m. that you never want to get out of bed for that’s okay if you
Were going to attend each of those you would put aside a total of two hours a week to do that one of the questions which you might be asking as well is about like how much time do I need to devote to actually move through all the materials and like complete the program
This will depend on if you want to complete the program in six months or if you want to take longer and do it over 12 months there’s no right or wrong we don’t have a preference we’re going to support you and provide you community and resource and care for the full 12
Months even if you decide to graduate earlier um and usually the speed that people move through the training is dictated by their life their desires their domestic duties and also seasons of life that EB and flow but to put some figures around this and this is in our curriculum as well
The self-mastery practices you probably need around an hour a week that could be one one hour chunk or some smaller chunks over the course of the week to do the initiations rituals and movement practices these Personal Mastery practices might be an extension of what you’re already doing if you have some
Type of devotional practice then our Personal Mastery stuff might easily just weave into that the Theory stream is consisting of a theory manual it’s also available as a podcast and each of of these manuals is about six to eight hours of listening long so if you’re
Doing one module per month I’d put aside two hours a week to move through that theory component the coaching tools um each module has around up to three to four coaching tools and each tool will take you at least two hours to move through just the training material
To kind of like learn it and get your head around it and hear a demonstration of it and then depending on how much practice you want need or desire the time frame can be flexible so all up I would say if you were moving through the training in six months you’d probably
Want to put aside 3 to four hours a week if you’re doing it over 12 months then you know two to three hours a week is going to be really more than enough I hope that clarifies Quinn is asking are there any bip scholarships available now great question Quinn so our school reserves
10% of our places for uh participants who identify as black indigenous persons of culture and persons of color and this is a partial scholarship so it’s a percentage off the tuition fee um we have places set aside each year I actually can’t tell you off the top of
My head if we have scholarship places open right now but Quinn if you pop your email to um either Al in the chat or to support at gen a.co we can shoot you an email and touch base with you around what we have available and when some
More will be opening up thank you for asking Christine is asking what are the hours that are the classes that depends where you are in the world for me the classes fall at 9:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. and usually there’s a class during hours and early evening in most parts of the
World we can pop a calendar to you so you can see where it is in your part of the world Christine if you would like just pop an email to support gen a.co or just pop a DM here to Al and Al maybe you would just share the Fe live call
Calendar with Christine so she can see what the conversion is in their part of the world Christine is asking oh and cat wants the calendar too yeah we can make that available for you that’s easy uh Christina is also asking what are the practices designed to do I
Believe your asking about the Personal Mastery practices like what are the Personal Mastery practices designed to do yeah so let’s take an example let’s talk about module five which is magnetism and polarity magnetism is one of the concepts that there is like some Theory teachings on there’s a coaching tool so
If you have a client who is showing up with let’s say for example they’re a coach and they want to call in five new clients or they’re a woman who’s looking for a partner or they want to manifest a new house or $5,000 in the bank whatever it is they’re trying to
Call in a desire and so the magnetism tool is a tool that it’s not about manifesting or affirmations magnetism is a tool that’s going to say let’s turn on the innate magnetic pull of your body so that just like the tides of the Moon draw the oceans towards her and create
The surges of the tides let’s turn on your body’s magnetism so that yes you can take practical steps towards your desire but you’re also fueled by this radiant and pleasure-filled aliveness that is really calling in and your whole body is calibrated towards I am ready to receive I’m open I’m ripe and the
Actions that I’m taking are deeply calibrated in my body as a yes I’m not just saying I want this I truly deeply through all of my system want and yearn for this so let’s just say that’s the coaching tool you’re wanting to use and we might be learning the theory of that
Coaching tool and doing practice coaching with that coaching tool the Personal Mastery practices are designed to take that tool and really program it deeply into your body so that your inherent personal magnetism is a landscape that is well traversed first that you’re familiar with that you’ve practiced and explored and so it’s a
Form of self coaching so that you can learn that tool from the inside out so the practices are designed to make you first masterful in the terrain that we’re going to be doing our coaching on and around as well they are different forms of self- coaching and development hope that answers your
Question question Christine and lell and that’s everything that I see in the chat if you’ve got anything last pop your comment in here otherwise you’re so welcome thank you for asking these really great questions so myself and the teaching team we would love to chat with you if you feel like
