Welcome. Let’s begin your application.

This application is a space for reflection, clarity, and truth-telling—not performance. We're here to learn more about what brings you to this work, and whether this training is aligned with your current path.

Let’s stay in touch.

Just a few practical details so we can reach you during the application process.

What is your full (first and last) name? *

What is your email address? If you’ve used an email with us previously, please use the same one as before. *

What country are you based in during the program? If you plan on traveling, name the country you’ll spend the most time in between July 2025 - Sep 2026. *

Your Vision

Take a moment to feel into the parts of you that are ready to grow, lead, and serve. These questions help us understand what inspires you and what you hope to cultivate.

If you felt truly connected to your body, your truth and your feminine leadership, how would this ripple out into the rest of your life? *

What is the deeper calling or purpose that’s yearning to be birthed through you, and how might this training be a step toward living it more fully? *

What is your biggest growth area when it comes to stepping into leadership, and how would you like to grow in this area? *

Creating space for your growth.

We want you to receive the full value of this training. These questions explore whether the timing and rhythm of the program are going to suit you.

This training involves 15 - 25 hours/month of learning, personal embodiment practices, and group dialogues. Every few months, we have a rest period of a few weeks, so you can integrate what you’ve learned. At the end of the training, each student completes 2 assignments and receives embodied feedback from a qualified mentor.

Do you sense you’ll have the time to complete this training? *

If there are challenges in the way of this, how can you meet these challenges with care and creativity? *

Feeling Safe & Supported In Your Journey

We ask the following questions with deep care and no judgment, to make sure the program will feel supportive—not overwhelming—for you.

These questions, relating to your mental health, are here to assist us to understand how best to support you. We appreciate the sensitive nature of mental health related questions, and the stigma around mental health that shows up in mainstream society. We will keep your information 100% confidential and private. Thank you for your trust and understanding.

Are you currently seeing a mental health professional (e.g. therapist, counsellor)? *

Yes

Is your current mental health condition treatment effective? *

Yes

Do you take medication related to mental health? *

Yes

If yes, please specify which medications

If you selected “other”, please describe briefly.

The Somatic Educator for Women Training offers a powerful opportunity to deepen your connection with your body, emotions, and embodiment. Together we will explore meaningful personal and collective themes that inspire deep, personal growth.

This training is a professional development program, not a healing container. However, we do explore sensitive themes, as well as emotional release, use of your voice, working with your breath, and physical movement like shaking and touch. Sometimes these themes and practices can bring up strong feelings.

We ask that participants are able to regulate their emotions and activations during the training, using their own tools or outside support when needed (such as therapy, somatic support, or self-care practices). We can recommend therapists who offer 1:1 sessions outside of the program, if needed.

Most of us carry some level of trauma—this is part of being human. In this training, your emotions, your story, and your tenderness are welcome. However, this training is not designed to support people who are currently experiencing acute trauma where daily life is heavily impacted.

Do you feel willing and resourced enough to care for your personal and emotional wellbeing during the training? *

Yes

Given the types of activities that this training involves, and what we can and cannot provide, do you feel that this training is a good fit for you? *

Yes

Thanks again for trusting us with the information that we need in order to best support you.

What medicine do you carry?

This training honours the idea that your story, your healing, and your lived experience are powerful tools for leadership. Let’s reflect on what’s shaped you and what you’re here to share.

This program centres the understanding that who you are—your story, your presence, your embodiment—is what others learn from and are inspired by. One of the most powerful ways our students step into embodied leadership is by transforming their own pain into purpose and offering it as medicine to the world.

Based on the life experiences and challenges you’ve moved through, what do you sense your medicine for the world might be?

It’s completely okay if you don’t have a perfectly formed answer. Let this be a moment of reflection, not performance. If you close your eyes and feel into your heart—what stirs? What comes alive? *

Investing In Your Training

If you decide to join the training... *

I can invest up front ($7k)

I can invest via payment plan ($725 / month x 10 months)

I would find it difficult to invest in this training. A partial financial subsidy would be greatly appreciated.
