Women's Soul Midwifery Focusing Training

Women's Soul Midwifery Focusing Training

Opening Retreat May 1st- 4th 2025

This two-year training program for healers will create a sacred space where we open to our embodied, wildish nature as the ground for developing our capacity to midwife soul healing. Through focusing and the felt sense, together we will come into a deeper relationship with the wisdom of our bodies and the natural world, integrating focusing and the felt sense as we grow our medicine woman toolkits.

You will learn divine feminine ways of knowing and being to develop:

deep, embodied, soulful connections with other healing artists

capacity to engage with focusing therapeutically for yourself, your clients and your community

ability to become ensouled and bring more soul forward with your clients and communities using a focusing approach

skills to engage the wisdom of the felt sense and its interaction with nature, dreams, art, movement, song, poetry, storytelling, ancestor work, ritual, ceremony, and the healing power of beauty

If you identify as a woman and are a licensed mental health therapist looking to incorporate somatic body wisdom and sacred feminine arts into your practice, this training is for you!
