The School Of Embodiment presents

Embodiment 101

Join Chris West for this 3-week foundational programĀ 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.

10th March to 24th March 2026, everyĀ Tuesday 6pm - 7:30pmĀ 

 

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-weekĀ 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

Ā '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:Ā 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.Ā 

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

Ā 
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.Ā

Lee — Participant

ā€œWow. What a journey… Working with Chris has been one of the most important and rewarding experiences of my life. I’ve learnt how to sit with my own thoughts, how to process and accept my emotions, and how to live day to day without the constant fear and anxiety that once controlled me.

Not long ago I couldn’t even sit alone with my mind. I was constantly stressed, even on holiday. But through the sessions with Chris (and Alex too at times), everything began to shift. I’ve never felt so relaxed and grounded for no real reason at all. The space they held was friendly, welcoming, and professional. If you’re considering working with them, you honestly can’t afford not to. It may just change your life.ā€


Robert — Participant

ā€œI didn’t know what to expect when I first got involved, but I’m so glad I did. Every time I showed up, I learned something new about myself. The support, compassion, and honesty Chris brought into the space made a huge difference. There were moments I cried, moments I laughed, and moments where things finally clicked after years of pushing them away.

You can feel how much Chris and Alex genuinely care about the people they work with. I’m forever grateful for everything they gave to us.ā€


Calum — Past Participant

ā€œI cannot thank Chris enough for all the help he’s given me. The work we did together helped me engage with emotions I’d suppressed for years. His wisdom, kindness and openness supported me in moving toward a more peaceful and fulfilling life.ā€


Laura — Participant

ā€œMy time working with Chris had a huge impact on my life. I’ve transformed so much over the last year thanks to the practices we explored. The grounding work and bioenergetic practices helped me move towards my feelings instead of running from them. I’m forever grateful for the presence, attention and care he brought into each moment.ā€


Poppy — Participant

ā€œThe sessions were profound — physically and emotionally. The embodied work Chris guided me through even helped release long-standing neck and shoulder tension I’d lived with for years. Highly recommend.ā€


Joe — Participant

ā€œThis was an amazing and eye-opening experience into how much I’d disconnected from my body. It surprised me how good it felt to tap back into it. Chris was kind, grounded, and incredibly clear in his teaching. I got so much out of working with him.ā€


Rob — Participant

ā€œI’ve grown so much through the work I’ve done with Chris and Alex. I learned things that helped me feel stronger, calmer and more connected to myself.

The mix of embodied practices, reflection, guidance and group work was exactly what I needed. The passion they bring into the room is inspiring. It’s honestly one of the best things I’ve ever done.ā€


Jack — Participant

ā€œI came across Chris on Instagram and thought his work might help — and I’m so glad I trusted that instinct. Even from the first session, something in me knew I wanted to keep going.

The topics we explored, the practices, and the conversations were all extremely helpful. I still use what I learned every day. Chris played a major part in helping me move toward a happier, more positive future. Thank you.ā€


Rob F — Participant

ā€œI would highly recommend working with Chris to anyone struggling with anxiety or wanting to reconnect with themselves.

Sonia — Participant

ā€œI highly recommend working with Chris to anyone who has felt disconnected from their body or held back emotionally. The embodied practices were powerful, and I’m excited to continue the journey.ā€


Henry — Participant

ā€œLife has been going really well since working with Chris. I feel more at ease with the world and don’t merge with my worries like I used to. I’m able to express myself in situations that used to scare me. My relationship with my dad has especially improved, which means everything to me.

For the first time in years, I feel full of love, confidence and self-belief. Starting this work with Chris was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. It was genuinely life-changing.ā€


Alan — Participant

ā€œBefore working with Chris, life felt really tough — anxiety, depression, barely eating, not sleeping. I knew something had to change. What stood out was how accessible, supportive and genuinely human the approach was.

Being with others going through similar things was incredibly healing. The tools, the guidance and the space he created helped me get my life moving again. I’m so grateful I took the chance.ā€


Calum — Participant

ā€œI found Chris’s work at exactly the right moment. His teachings were unlike anything else I’d come across and they resonated deeply. Even though I was struggling financially, I said yes — because for the first time in decades, I felt hope.

Since then, I’ve started embodying my emotions instead of being overwhelmed by them. The kindness and wisdom he brought into our sessions changed my life. I’m eternally grateful.ā€
