Seishindo Somatic Coaching: Embrace the Wisdom of the Body's Intelligence is a three-day workshop in the Washington Metro Area led by Charlie Badenhop, the originator of Seishindo Coaching.

• Do you find yourself unable to help certain clients without really understanding why?
• Have you discovered that helping people change the way they think is often not enough to change the deep seated emotions that drive their behavior?

You'll feel more confident and effective as a coach once you understand how the body catalyzes people's emotions and drives their behavior.

• Learn how to "talk" directly to the body and the emotional self.
• Gain an experiential understanding of the body language that drives emotion.
• Discover the positive meaning of pain, disease, and suffering.
• Learn how to "go beyond the words" and help clients that have stymied you in the past.

You'll be introduced to precise well proven methods for observing, understanding, and respectfully interacting with, the non-verbal conversations of your clients. You'll also learn simple yet powerful practices that help you meld the wisdom of the body with the wisdom of the intellect—So that more often, what you and your clients think and say, matches the way you are in the world.

You will:
• Cultivate intuition or "unconscious knowing" and teach others how to do the same.
• Access "special learning states" that lead to greater rapport with and understanding of clients.
• Focus on your client's strengths and potentials, rather than helping them overcome weaknesses.
• Experience how the way people use their body determines their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.

Participants will experience Seishindo coaching practices in large and small groups. After each practice a debrief session will identify how each practice is appropriate for a specific coaching intervention, the underlying principles used in formulating the practices, and how each practice can be applied in a coaching session.

There seems to often be some part of us, other than our cognitive mind, which stops us from getting what we want in life. Yet somehow this same non-cognitive part can also be the source of our deepest wisdom and joy....when we open to it fully and honor the communication and knowledge it offers us.
