EMBODYSSEY® ELEMENTS SERIES
The Embodyssey® Elements Workshops are an in-depth and personal self-awareness program. The completion of all five modules will round out a practitioner's personal practice, improving overall efficiency, adaptability and depth of connection to the self and environment. Ultimately the practitioner will employ the Body as Teacher, Nature as Preacher philosophy in all areas of life through facilitated and documented embodied experience. This preliminary certification is an accomplishment of 25 hours of immersion into the Embodyssey system, an opportunity to work with the Embodyssey® Founding Instructor Keith Cowley directly and receive beginner-intermediate instruction.
I. EARTH MODULE INTENSIVE
The Embodyssey® Earth Module focuses on the Environmental Referencing training established by Embodyssey®. Our biological, energetic and spiritual bodies are influenced by the same cyclical processes in our counterpoints. Referencing refers to how we store this information within our physiology and how efficiently it is actioned. Earth Module will outline a foundational set of environmental reference points for testing and self-awareness, as well as preliminary language for further exploration on the path.
II. AIR MODULE INTENSIVE
The Embodyssey® Air Module delves into the philosophy and practice of Breathwork as outlined by Embodyssey®. A meditative movement sequence explores expansion and contraction of all biological systems and rhythms in coordination with the transcription and translation of muscle memories. The Air Module will examine trends and habits that affect the efficiency of breathwork, posture and movement.
III. FIRE MODULE INTENSIVE
The Embodyssey® Fire Module is the most rigorous training of Embodyssey®. Through Submission-work, practitioners endure significant time standing in stillness outdoors in variable conditions. Guided instructor, each practitioner's individualized postural alignment is adjusted for efficiency and tested for structural integrity. Conversation with self is introduced through submission to the rising and extinguishing of the fire of compensations in the body being released.
IV. WATER MODULE INTENSIVE
The Embodyssey® Water Module utilizes a flowing partnered practice to develop embodied experiences exploring the spatial conversations between self-similar biological structures. Embodyssey® postures are employed to maintain structural integrity within the flow practice, resulting in fear reduction, stress release and openness to the subtleties of interrelationships among people, environments and whole systems.
V. METAL MODULE INTENSIVE
The Embodyssey® Metal Module looks deeply into our creative origins, including Environmental Referencing work with human-made structures and the materialization of information through structural expression. Through the examination of spatial geometry, symmetry and chaos, we acknowledge the human dichotomous impulse to refine genetic understanding of nature's mysteries through creation and destruction of nature itself.
