Martha’s Wisdom of the Body Workshop teaches us how to address and heal the body/mind split. During the process we discover how to become aware of, listen to, and learn to respect our bodies and their innate wisdom.

Our bodies store knowledge. Underneath the aches and pains, frustration and fears, anxiety and depression—produced by society’s expectations, family pressures and life’s stresses—our bodies know what is healthy for us.

Using yoga, writing, bodywork and voice work, Martha teaches participants how to access the original self, the true self that has been covered, silenced, trapped. This workshop can have a profound impact on participants, and individuals should be prepared for a life-altering experience.

Martha will guide you in learning to respect your body, to become aware of your true feelings, and to attain body consciousness for strength and health. Aligned with the body’s desire for strength and health, you will enhance your self-knowledge and learn to resist unrealistic societal expectations.

Martha uses voice work to access the core, to uncover what has been repressed and to allow us to release tension and relieve nagging aches and pains. Writing and drawing allow us to become aware of the wellspring of our lives, to discover what is truly important to us, and to resolve traumas into narratives so that we can continue to grow. We expand our capacity for understanding our own and others’ lives with respect and compassion.

The result? Freed from old patterns and the stress of societal expectations, you will be empowered to make conscious, positive choices of what you genuinely desire—not of what you want to avoid or overcome—and to identify and claim a fulfilling, enriching life. Clearly understanding the choices you make liberates you, enabling you to genuinely change and create a life of happiness and wellbeing.
