A safe community of connection, learning & exploration

1. In our first class we will explore the role of the pelvic floor, some misinformation about it and ways you can support yours so that it can best support you. We will introduce some simple yet effective ways of initiating breath into the body that can be used every day in any situation.
2. During our second session, we will discover the body’s energy and how to bring it to rest in the pelvic bowl. We will explore receptivity and where resilience and resourcefulness live in the body.
3. The third class will offer ways of shifting the centre of our awareness from the busy and isolated confines of the head and down into the deep calm and intelligence of the body. The series will end with a deeply restful experience of the whole body releasing to the breath.

This virtual workshop, led by TEPP co-director Allyson Woodrooffe, will be limited to 5 participants to allow for rich and intimate conversation. Spread over three one-hour sessions, this workshop is not a typical pre-natal class!

The workshop runs over three weeks: December 1, 8, 15 from 10 – 11 am ET (North American ET!) Your sign up fee covers all three sessions.

Breath is our most natural impulse. It gives us life and nourishes our bodies. And yet, unnoticed patterns often inhibit our experience of the breath, which can leave us feeling anxious and uncertain.

Drawing on exercises from The Embodied Present Process, this workshop will help you discover how the body can release to the breath naturally and easily; and it can do so in ways that help minimize anxiety, increase energy and support your own clarity.

This playful and experiential workshop will help you:

• bring awareness to your breath;
• feel supported by your breath; and
• access the clarity and wisdom of your body.

“Doing breath work with Allyson helped me reach a new level of peace and presence with my body. I use the exercises she taught me every day to manage stress and anxiety.”

The challenge of becoming more embodied when you’ve been raised in a disembodied culture is hard to overestimate.

You have literally been conditioned to live in your head.

The most direct path to embodiment, then, is to step out of that conditioning by forging new choices for yourself.

That is the opportunity provided by the daily, step-by-step support of Recalibrating the Self, and is why it’s so deeply transformative.

It shows you where and how to land in the body, connecting you afresh with yourself, your life, and the world around you.

Recalibrating the Self starts January 4, 2021. Imagine being able to experience your days newly grounded in the wisdom of your embodied intelligence. Now imagine that happening before the month is over. Here’s your chance!

What Our Year Together Looks Like

Our year together will be anchored by three five-day retreats where we come together to practice and question and explore. Between the retreats the work is deepened by weekly hour-long Zoom calls. On most calls, Philip will lead an exercise and facilitate a discussion around a predetermined topic. The Zoom calls are a potent forum in which exchange and new experience support the journey to wholeness.

Session One (October 25 – 30, 2021)
In this session Philip takes participants through a week of practices that underpin the weekend workshop, and helped him develop it. Each practice is designed to help people encounter a cultural blindspot that diminishes their ability to feel the self in the world, and to assist them in softening beyond that to stand in the clarity of their being.

Session Two (April, 2022, dates TBC)
This session introduces new practices to help participants experience and deepen into wholeness. It also addresses the curriculum of the weekend workshop, and helps participants to understand each step along its journey, and to begin to achieve some mastery of its practices. 

Session Three (October, 2022, dates TBC)
Session three is the culmination of our year together.  We spend time exploring a range of new practices that help bring the work home, bit by bit. The session also provides an opportunity for participants to select an exercise from the Radical Wholeness workshop and share it with the group.

** To take part in the Facilitator Training you must first take a weekend workshop. This can be done any time, including immediately prior to the training. See FAQs below for more info.**
