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 ā 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 thatās free from the conditioned mind patterns that cause so much struggle and suffering.
We live in a very disembodied world, and itās become normal for most people to live with a subtle ā or sometimes not so subtle ā sense of inner lack.
For some, this shows up as a quiet, nagging feeling that something just isnāt 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 ā 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 ā 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, weād love to invite you to Embodiment 101 ā 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, weāll 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 'Iāve left many spiritual groups who just said as long as we know weāre 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
Hereās whats included in the course:
Week One: Feel The Body
In this first week, youāll learn what it truly means to feel.
To be fully present in your body ā to become intimate with the emotions and sensations it holds ā 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, weāll 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, weāll explore the deeper meaning and vast potential within somatic healing ā 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 ā 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 didnāt want them to end each week. We all came away with such a feeling of bliss each time.Ā

Lee ā Participant
āWow. What a journey⦠Working with Chris has been one of the most important and rewarding experiences of my life. Iāve 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 couldnāt 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. Iāve never felt so relaxed and grounded for no real reason at all. The space they held was friendly, welcoming, and professional. If youāre considering working with them, you honestly canāt afford not to. It may just change your life.ā
Robert ā Participant
āI didnāt know what to expect when I first got involved, but Iām 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. Iām forever grateful for everything they gave to us.ā

āLife has been going really well since working with Chris. I feel more at ease with the world and donāt merge with my worries like I used to. Iām 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 Iāve ever made. It was genuinely life-changing.ā
Alan ā Participant
āBefore working with Chris, life felt really tough ā 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. Iām so grateful I took the chance.ā
Calum ā Participant
āI found Chrisās work at exactly the right moment. His teachings were unlike anything else Iād come across and they resonated deeply. Even though I was struggling financially, I said yes ā because for the first time in decades, I felt hope.
Since then, Iāve started embodying my emotions instead of being overwhelmed by them. The kindness and wisdom he brought into our sessions changed my life. Iām eternally grateful.ā
