Join me this October for InHabit: Eco-Somatics in Your Ecotherapy Practice & Life, a unique introduction to a new and ancient cosmology of healing that brings therapy, somatics, development, ecology, biology, and deep time into harmony. Eco-somatics is an embodied remembering of our identity AS nature. 

This training & experience is for therapists, counselors, social workers, and life coaches...
  • That know there is a more whole, primal, and mythic cosmology to healing than the medical model techniques and protocols we've been given
  • Who are visionaries and edge-walkers
  • Seeking additional eco-therapeutic perspectives, experiments, and/or collaborations for outdoor or in office
  • Wanting to deepen their own connection to and identity as nature
  • Longing to inhabit more layers of their own deep, ancestral nature
Picture
  • Understanding Eco-somatics as developmental process, ancestral remembering, and biological capacity.
  • Honoring our developmental sequence as a multitude of somatic rites of passage.
  • Biological Ecotherapy: The requirement of rhythms, cycles, nature & element exposure... ​
  • Reconnecting with Eco-Ancestry and working with Eco-ancestors for trauma and attachment healing
  • Engaging in Ecological Embodiment through our system's five primary evolutionary layers
  • Shifting beyond a focus on nervous system patterns of childhood, prey, or victimhood, and into a more comprehensive and hopeful nervous system theory
  • Evaluating how clients inhabit and express their energy
  • Helping clients resource through remembrance of their primal nervous system
  • How integration of our primal nervous system layers grows our intuition and instinct in client sessions
  • Acknowledgement of how we are mostly pre-human
  • Eco-somatic integration into psychotherapy and ecotherapy

Eco-somatics weaves together science, ecology, psychology, mythology, development, imagination, somatics, stillness, movement, and ritual. This unique blend supports us and our clients in discovering new capacities and adapting to life's challenges, ultimately empowering us and encouraging personal growth and maturation. Join us to experience this innovative yet timeless approach to assessment and healing. The Woo is True!(A. Bertrand)

InHabit is our new offering rooted in a creative and evolutionary eco-therapeutic and eco-somatic cosmology. Inhabit means ‘to live in or occupy’. Sometimes this refers to a place or habitat. Yet this verb is also a birthright of body and consciousness. All animals fully inhabit their being in coherence with their environment and all other life forms. We (western culture) humans are the only beings to vacate and mistrust our animal body and our evolutionary wisdom, and often for good reason.  Yet beneath our socializations, traumas, attachment fracturing, emotional wounding, and system contractions, something is waiting for us to remember and return. 

That which we and our clients are seeking... relief, stillness, coherence, presence, deep knowing & intuition, strength, healthy relationships, authenticity... is our natural condition and already exists underneath all the protective strategies and fragmentations.

In InHabit, we not only address the fragmentations, protective strategies, and facilitate 'healing' of childhood wounds. We also:
  • Activate powers and capacities left dormant in development
  • Remember, through embodiment, the intuition and stillness beneath protections
  • Inhabit evolutionary, human, and ecological wholeness. Well, at least we begin to.

To some, this may all sound a bit 'woo'. But the woo is true. If you feel called to be an edge-walker in the therapy world, join us for the autumn training or contact Kimberly for individual consultations.

InHabit is not my traditional 'Ecotherapy' training. This is a following of my intuition to go off-trail and offer an introduction to a cosmology and practice that has changed my life and the lives of clients.  Ecotherapy and eco-somatics is not another technique like EMDR, DBR, CPT, IFS, etc... It is an inhabitation. It is a worldview. If embodied, it is an expression of our original functioning and nature. It is the ground underneath wholistic therapy. 

The current fields of psychotherapy, somatics, coaching... suffer from eco-amnesia. They rarely if ever acknowledge ecology, biology, evolutionary deep time, eco-ancestors, etc...  These aspects of our being are a foundation for whole system and frequency healing, and I am committed to bringing them into healing spaces.  

InHabit offers a new map... a way of assessing clients energetically and developmentally; a way growing clients diverse capacities while helping them heal from cultural systems that de-generate. This map follows developmental rites of passage, energy centers, primal nervous system layers, and gift and shadow expressions of protective patterns.  This map will also support you in sharpening your instinct, intuition, and out-of-the-box intervention creations.  Time includes lecture, discussion, reflection, embodiment, ritual, and practice.  

This training is home-grown; professional but not clinical; casual but not lazy; deep but not dry; fun but not frivolous. InHabit is a high-quality beginning or continuation of learning and exploring for ecotherapy seekers. It offers practical and unique teachings and experiments for yourself and clients. This workshop can be useful for helpers working in outpatient and traditional therapy settings with individuals or groups in urban, suburban, park, and front-country locations.

"Stepping into the world of ecotherapy with Kimberly was a place of wonder and connection that filled my soul and inspired my mind. Kimberly embodies the methods she teaches; her expressions of presence and groundedness reveal pathways into the raw truth of being. I left the training in greater contact with my intuition, and I am equipped with resources and interventions that support following it, for myself and my work as a clinician". – Holly M., CO therapist

"I looked for this training because I wanted to know on a practical level how to tap into the natural state of my/our beings as we learn to relate to others and the world around us. Now I have an intimate understanding of how to do this with myself and clients. This training was a coming home to my natural, connected self. I learned concrete tools through experiential learning outside, and integrating the learning via writing and processing everything together with Kimberly in a variety of beautiful outdoor and indoor settings. She is a powerful gentle force that has inspired me in so many ways in my work and life. After less than a week I’ve been able to use the eco therapy experiments and concepts in sessions with clients, even over telehealth. It has created a radical shift in the ways that I see things and my work with clients and I highly recommend investing in this training, regardless of your prior experience with the natural world." -Jennifer H., New York therapist

"​Attending Kimberly’s Ecotherapy training was a calling I am so glad I listened to. Immersed in nature and attunement- we learned, unlearned, slowed down, and were invited to remember what we already know. I left with the gift of my senses heightened, instinct in tune, and applications that have already been a hit with my clients." – Sara C., CO therapist

Picture
"What impacted me most was the emphasis on being, here and now. I learned how to be present in nature, then how to be present with Self in an embodied way. This shift in being is a lesson I will carry with me as I embark on a career as a soulful mental health counselor." -Ann E., CO therapist

"What a life-changing event! You are truly gifted. It was perfect timing for me to become aware of your work, while I'm discovering my path as a therapist. I appreciate your advice, presence, and teachings. You helped me go deeper into what resonates for me as well as learn other secrets to being a great therapist." -Merideth G., CO therapist
