For beginners and intermediate students who want to deepen their state of Embodiment.

The book “Alchemy of Bodywork” was written to help you truly ‘incarnate’ into your full embodied potential and connect with other beings from that state. This not only deepens the quality of your own life, but also the quality of your relationships. I think the book brings you as close as possible to that state, through the medium of words. As I write in the beginning of the book:

“My body…
I don’t know what it is.
But for some reason, I know how to be in it.”

The feedback I have received from many therapists and bodyworkers after being submerged in this work is: “I used to think I knew something about embodiment. Now, I no longer know, but I have truly experienced it.” Not everyone is able to come to one of our live ‘Alchemy of Bodywork’ training sessions. For this reason, we have developed an online training called ‘Embodiment into Practice’.  It not only allows the reader to experience the content of the book much more deeply, it also offers an opportunity to students who have done live trainings, to practice at home at their own pace. Embodiment is the foundation of the complete Alchemical path we offer. To have a strong fundament gives you all possible options. This is what most students, even those with decades of experience, are missing: a strong embodied foundation.

The training consists of 25 relatively short (5 to 15 min) practical videos. They cover all the practical topics of the first part of the book. (Later, a second series with similar videos will be created for the second part.) The videos are not meant to be viewed and consumed by the senses. My suggestion is that you watch, practice, repeat, deepen…until “you got it” …. embodied. We are still in the process of developing and recording, so the topics might still change a bit. However, this overview will help you to decide if this is something for you:
