Course curriculum

Cultural practices evolved to help humans heal and soothe themselves, such as the use of dance, music making, meditation and prayer, and storytelling, and have largely been overlooked or dismissed as “feminine” and not utilized in Western-European treatment methods. The latest trauma science is now providing the evidence to prove the effectiveness of these “feminine” practices. Over the course of 8 weeks, this course teaches you how to listen to your intuitive wisdom and utilize these cultural practices to soothe yourself. Hands-on activities are used throughout the course to infuse the learning with pleasure and play, which improves motivation, increases feelings of well-being, and integrates the learning beyond conscious awareness. By the end of the course you will have a creative, visual representation of your self-soothing strategies that will remind you how to self-soothe in moments of struggle and throughout your everyday life.
