Somatic Experiencing and Body-Oriented Therapy Series

Reclaim Safety, Connection, and Healing—One Breath, One Sensation at a Time

Trauma is not just a story we remember—it’s a response our body still holds. In this powerful, experiential series, you’ll learn how to listen to your body’s signals, shift states of overwhelm, and gently release what no longer serves you.

Based on the groundbreaking work of Dr. Peter Levine (Somatic Experiencing) and integrated with the SWEET Method—a revolutionary model for embodied healing—this series offers concrete tools, guided practice, and a safe space to explore body-based transformation.

The SWEET Method

Each session is guided by the SWEET Formula (The Why; The What; The How; the Then What), the SWEET Framework (Principles, Techniques, Steps, Do’s and Don’ts), and the SWEET Paradigm (Socratic Method, Desire Method, Collective Learning, Critical Thinking, Mastery).

You’ll leave with practical tools, deeper insight, and a renewed relationship with your body.

Who This Is For

• Individuals healing from trauma, stress, or chronic overwhelm
• Clinicians, caregivers, and wellness professionals
• Anyone ready to shift from overthinking to embodied presence

Why Join?
