Courses & Programmes
We practise the pluriverse.
Our courses are designed to accompany us from information to transformation, from knowing something in your head to living it in your life such that you shape a different world through what you practise.
In our atelier for embodied regeneration, we craft sanctuary and invite you to re-member your wholeness so you can enjoy and deliver your gifts to this world that desperately needs them.
Befriending Your Body Course
A 1-month journey of working with your body’s protective stress response to support you to be more present in your life, more attuned to your body’s cues and signals of safety and threat, and more free to respond to the invitation of the present moment. You’ll learn a model of nervous system awareness that will increase your fluency with your own body and a suite of simple embodied tools you can integrate into your day to support your nervous system in day to day life and in preparation for deeper healing and creating work.
Accompanying Our Collective Nervous System, a Facilitator Training
Accompanying Our Collective Nervous System is a 3 month course to learn how to attunedly accompany our collective nervous systems into states more open to curiosity, connection and creativity in service of Life and collective liberation
Tending Our Roots
A deep dive over 17 weeks into the 4 roots of the fromtheroots framework, teaching us tools, practices and frameworks that will deepen our sense of being held in and capacity to navigate from our being (core), our belonging (community), our sense of purpose (calling) and where we are in time and space (cycles). The course will invite and equip you to step firmly into the soil of your life, sink your roots deep and from there navigate personal and world cycles with grace and stamina. The course has as its motivation the belief that unrooted or rooted in dominant oppressive system’s false roots, we will simply reproduce the system and its pain and injustice.
Apprenticing to Life From the Roots
A reflective, practice-based journey for those called to deepen their commitment to life, freedom, and rooted facilitation. Through seven group sessions (online and in person), 15 observation sessions within the Tending Our Roots program, integration circles, and one-on-one mentoring, apprentices strengthen their understanding of the fromtheroots model, nervous system awareness, and facilitation skills.
Discernship programme
We are happy to invite applications for a discernship season (15 months) with our growing organism, fromtheroots. A discernship is a period of time in which you are learning and working while discerning whether you would like to join fromtheroots as a coholder of vision, strategy and possibility. The discernship is a mutual process of sensing your alignment and commitment to the purpose and being that fromtheroots is in the world.

Testimonials
“I understand that I am not in a fight against myself. I love myself better now. My body has been “talking” to me all this time and I can listen to it better and better through what I learned.”
“Learning about trauma responses and how they’re formed or passed down [has] allowed me to have more grace for myself and others. Life just feels easier and it’s because of all the skills I’ve picked up [in befriending your body class]. The information as well has rewired my thinking processes”
“I think everyone should take this course to gain more self-understanding and de-stigmatize a lot of their natural responses to life and this world. It would help them build their capacity for empathy and care both for themselves and others”
“I see an end to the long term stress that has bothered me for the longest. I see my body as my friend something I never thought possible”
“As opposed to masking and keeping pushing. I can allow all my feelings to happen and meet them with curiosity and I feel less shame about my nervous system responses”
