Explore body intelligence and movement practices that support your mental, emotional, and physical balance — so you can become your own authority and live in harmony with yourself and the Earth.
Heal your relationship with your body by turning inward to meet yourself — and approaching your body with the kindness, compassion, and care it needs and deserves.
When was the last time you connected with your inner landscape — and asked your body how it’s feeling emotionally, physically, mentally, and spiritually?
Many of us (unknowingly) push our bodies hard, without compassion, in the name of accomplishment, productivity, money, or success.
In this process of using, abusing, exploiting, or unconsciously depleting our inner resources, we’re mirroring a larger pattern of a dysfunctional relationship with the Earth itself.
Unfortunately, this high-stress, destructive pattern has become so common that much of Western culture considers it normal.
Yet, breaking this unhealthy rhythm is easier than you might think...
Lamara Heartwell, body intelligence expert, teaches that actively moving your body in nonlinear ways helps you clear toxic debris and stuck emotions — and moves you out of the robotic and autopilot modes in which you currently engage your body.
This healing process begins with a conscious decision to gently and lovingly regenerate your body by reconnecting it with its own intuitive ways of moving and the naturally restorative rhythms of nature so your body can effortlessly rebalance.
From there, you can bring gentle movement practices, guided by the wisdom of your body’s own inner landscape, into your daily life.
Join us for a new 7-week, deeply experiential course as Lamara helps you create a nourishing, destressing everyday experience — by embracing a variety of body intelligence practices, somatic awareness, movement, meditation, breathwork, and body-centered psychology.
You’ll engage your body with curiosity, compassion, and care — so you can fully inhabit your body and finally come home to yourself.
Gentle movement offers the perfect way to connect with your body to rebuild a sense of trust with yourself — so you can relax into openness and acceptance to sense what your body needs in each moment.
As you learn to ground your body with the Earth in daily practice, it will provide you with a foundation for peace, stability, and mental clarity by helping to regulate your emotions and nervous system.
As someone who’s compassionately and lovingly healed her own relationship with her body while recovering from an eating disorder, Lamara is uniquely equipped to serve as a gentle friend, mentor, and teacher on this journey.
She’ll hold a sacred space for you as you shift from an outside-in relationship with your body, to an inside-out relationship — to feel grounded, open-hearted, and present.
You’ll also discover specific exercises and practices to help you widen your proprioception (your body’s ability to sense movement, action, and location, also known as kinesthesia) so that you can expand your awareness of the outside world.
Lamara will share how you can literally transform the cells of your body, creating greater space between each of your cells, which has been scientifically proven to promote optimum health.
Each week, Lamara will share new practices and wisdom to help you deepen your connection to yourself and the Earth — and experience less stress, greater joy, and true serenity.
In this 7-week transformational course, you’ll:
- Read your body’s language and cues so you can access a healthier, balanced, more joyful life — by engaging in nonlinear movements that help you to regenerate at a cellular level
- Align your inner and outer worlds through weekly embodiment practices and meditations to reduce friction and tension in life
- Build a new skill set for describing and communicating your internal experiences, needs, desires, and boundaries more effectively in your relationships
- Discover a map of more than 80 different body sensations to help increase your body awareness and somatic vocabulary, and relate more confidently to your own inner experience
- Differentiate between emotions, sensations, and thoughts for skillful navigation of your inner world
- Learn to identify your body’s daily cues for its essential needs for rest, hydration, nourishment, touch, and movement — so you can take your self-care practices to the next level for enhanced vitality and aliveness
- Explore somatic practice as an everyday tool for unwinding and clearing stuck emotions in the body
- Discover advanced proprioception (the body’s ability to sense its location, movements, and actions) to increase your spatial awareness, coordination, visual capacity, and balance
- Learn to stay grounded as you move through the day — to reduce reactivity, overstimulation, and emotional charge, so you can show up as a more stable, responsive person in everyday life
- Skillfully shift into a more open and receptive way of being as you learn to read your body’s more subtle signs of contraction, restriction, and/or isolation
- Connect with the Earth as a reliable source of comfort and support in difficult times
- Learn ways to increase pleasant, pleasurable, and positive sensations in everyday life
- Cultivate awareness around how practices work best for you in your body and your life — adapting them so you’ll use and benefit from them in your day-to-day experience
What You’ll Discover in These 7 Weeks
In this 7-week transformational intensive, Lamara will guide you through the fundamental skills and competencies you’ll need to explore body intelligence and movement practices that support your mental, emotional, and physical balance — so you can become your own authority and live in harmony with yourself and the Earth.
