The School Of Embodiment presents
Embodiment 101
Join Chris West for this 3-week foundational program to learn the fundamentals of Embodiment and Somatic Healing.
Meeting with a small group in Stroud we will dive into the powerful, life-changing work of embodiment.Â
Dear friends,
Embodiment practices have the power to completely transform your life — emotionally, psychologically, and spiritually.
They are a profound tool for healing and inner transformation, helping you reconnect deeply with your body and come into a state of presence that’s free from the conditioned mind patterns that cause so much struggle and suffering.
We live in a very disembodied world, and it’s become normal for most people to live with a subtle — or sometimes not so subtle — sense of inner lack.
For some, this shows up as a quiet, nagging feeling that something just isn’t quite right. For others, it can manifest as anxiety, addiction, depression, or low self-worth.
To come back into the body in this way is to heal the split within.
We begin to feel whole, happy, and fulfilled again — returning to a sense of peace and joy we may not have felt since childhood.
After a period of intense anxiety in his early twenties, Chris discovered these practices as the only path to freedom from his suffering. Over the years, he has dedicated himself fully to this work — with over 10,000 hours of meditation, more than 100 retreats, and journeys across the world to study with embodiment and spiritual teachers. Since 2017, he has been sharing these life-changing practices with others.
If this resonates with you, we’d love to invite you to Embodiment 101 — a 3-week foundational program offering a deep dive into the most essential embodiment practices and tools for genuine inner transformation.
In an intimate group setting at our space in the centre of Stroud, UK, we’ll meet in a place of authenticity, rawness, and presence to explore the powerful path of embodiment together.
With love,
Chris West and The School of Embodiment Team

 'I’ve left many spiritual groups who just said as long as we know we’re awareness, you can spiritually bypass the body. It never felt right to me, I always felt embodiment is the key. I have felt it so many times and I keep going deeper, I really am happy to have found someone else who feels the same'. - Marie
Here’s whats included in the course:
Week One: Feel The Body
In this first week, you’ll learn what it truly means to feel.
To be fully present in your body — to become intimate with the emotions and sensations it holds — is a profound, life-changing experience.
We spend so much of our lives trying to escape ourselves, so learning to truly feel takes both understanding and practice.
As you begin to feel the body deeply, your entire world starts to transform.
This week includes guided meditations, embodied practices, talks, and Q&A.
Week Two:Â OPEN the body
In this session, we’ll explore what it truly means to open the body.
Through somatic practices such as bioenergetics, we create space for repressed feelings, traumas, and old conditionings to rise to the surface of awareness.
From here, we learn to meet it all with presence and love.
As we bring warmth and compassion to these repressed parts of ourselves, they begin to soften and dissolve, leaving us in a state of peace and wholeness.
Week Three: Beyond the Body.Â
This week, we’ll explore the deeper meaning and vast potential within somatic healing — a journey that extends far beyond emotional or psychological healing.
Many people pursue spirituality as a way of escaping their emotional world. While this can bring fleeting moments of bliss, to experience a deep and lasting sense of peace and joy, we must have the courage to embrace ourselves fully.
By dropping down into the body, we begin to heal the split within the psyche — and in doing so, we naturally come into contact with what lies beyond the body: a profound sense of our own Being
Â
The group sessions themselves were great, we didn’t want them to end each week. We all came away with such a feeling of bliss each time.Â

 Chris made the Introduction to Meditation classes very interesting as well as relaxing to participate in. He has a lot of experience and passion for the practice. His very open style encouraged the rest of the group to also share their experiences. This led to us all becoming comfortable with each other, while developing a new skill together. Â
