What are your hopes and intentions for your participation in this program? Please tell us anything you feel compelled to share.
*
This program is designed for self-identifying white people of Christian lineage (this includes people who were raised Christian, are secular Christian, self-identifying Christian, whose parents/grandparents/previous generations were Christian, etc. and whose ancestors are from Europe). Can you tell us a bit about how you identify in terms of your race/ culture/ ethnicity?
*
This program is designed for healers, body-based practitioners, and cultural workers to incorporate into their current scope of practice including: therapy, bodywork, movement education, facilitation/ teaching, coaching, etc. What kind of work do you do? How do you imagine you will integrate your learning into your life and work? Who do you mostly serve, and how?
*
What is your educational and experiential background with somatic work? (Have you done any previous trainings, worked with a practitioner, what are your years of experience, etc?) Note: You do not have to be a somatic therapist to be considered but some background in somatics is helpful.
*
Participants are asked to have previous anti-racism experience with Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour teacher(s) or leaders. Can you tell us a bit about any previous learning experiences you've participated in?
*
This is an experiential training, which means participants engage directly with the material somatically and relationally. This will very likely raise feelings of grief, shame, anger, fear, and other challenging emotions. It is important to us that you're in a space and time where you can safely and effectively be challenged and sit with discomfort. What is included in your current support system/ circle of care?
*
Where are you on your journey with trauma healing? What's been your relationship to healing thus far? (feel free to share as much or as little as you're comfortable with, we are not asking for a detailed trauma history.)
*
What has been your experience with participating in group learning environments? Are there any challenges you anticipate arising?
*
Do you have any access needs that we should know about? What helps you to feel as safe and present as possible, especially in an online/video context?
*

Refund Policy: Cancellations up to 14 days prior to the course start will receive a 50% refund. Please note! There are no refunds after the course has begun. Payment plans are considered a contract and not an optional subscription. This experience is likely to be challenging. You’ll be doing deep work around your histories, your somatic shaping, and your values. This training gives you a structure and lots of support to work through this process, including the discomfort that arises. This policy helps to hold us all accountable while also protecting the teaching team, and respecting the commitment made by other participants.

I understand
This is a Level 1 foundation training, meaning it is designed to offer an introduction to the practice of EAI. This training alone is not sufficient to build the experience and competencies necessary to become a trauma practitioner, ancestral healing guide, or anti-racism facilitator. It is designed to complement your existing scope of practice, and lead you through your own process of healing and reflection.
*
I understand
This is not a therapy group, but we will be exploring material that touches on personal and collective trauma as part of learning the framework and methodology of EAI. Participants are encouraged to bring unresolved feelings that arise in the course to their personal healing work and to have your own support systems in place and access them if/ when needed.
*
I understand
Marika Heinrichs and Stevie Joy Guiol are somatic practitioners and embodiment guides. As the facilitators of this course, they not entering into a therapeutic relationship with participants. The teaching team serves as facilitators, teachers, and at times learning peers.
*
I understand that participation in this group does not establish Marika or Stevie as my personal therapist and that my participation in this group does not constitute a therapeutic relationship
