Somatics for Organisational Leadership

Four Part Workshop Series

Delivered in collaboration with Hue: Colour the Conversation

Too often, the demands of leadership push us into survival mode, disrupting our nervous system's equilibrium and hindering our capacity for genuine relationships, thoughtful decision-making, and visionary, inclusive work essential for transformative change.

This four-part workshop series empowers leaders within organisations and movements with vital tools for nervous system regulation & embodiment to challenge pervasive organisational culture issues, such as urgency, defensiveness and power hoarding.

Join us to enhance your nervous system's resilience to cultivate collaborative innovation, nurture healthy relationships, and pave the way for healing, liberation and organisational impact.

We will be learning:

an introduction to somatic understanding of the psyche & body
how building nervous system resilience empowers our leadership
how to apply 'bottom-up' approaches to decision-making, visionary, and inclusive work in transformative change
how to work with challenging and pervasive organisational culture issues

Course Outline:

Session 1: An introduction to somatics and the relationship between individual and collective nervous systems and its impacts on organisational culture. We explore dominant workplace culture its relationship to capitalism & colonialism.

Session 2, 3 & 4: Each session we dive into at a different pervasive cultural issue we observe holding organisations back from their impact: urgency, defensiveness, and power hoarding. Together, we explore where these appear in our organisations individually, systemically and culturally, and the flow on effects for our teams, movements and communities. We then build our toolkit of somatics practices to support ourselves to respond in different ways, that promote healthy and impactful leadership and organisational culture.
