Conscious Communication & Somatic Intelligence

The invisible web that connects us all

Communication is the network that connects us all. How we perceive, speak, express ourselves, how we communicate with others depends on many factors. From the upbringing we received, the culture we grew up in, individual experiences, to intergenerational trauma—all of these (and probably many more factors) shape the way we behave and connect with others. Often we are not aware of these imprints and our interactions with others are controlled by automatic, unconscious mechanisms or reactive behaviour. This can lead to conflicts, undesirable situations or the seemingly endless repetition of destructive behaviour patterns.
Sounds familiar?

Communication and somatic intelligence skills are key for personal and social transformation

Becoming aware of our conditioning, our patterns and projections can initiate an incredibly powerful shift in our perception and attitude. Through regular practice of the simple but profound contact and communication exercises and through the training of the integral awareness of body, psyche & emotions you learn to anchor yourself confidently in your authentic being.

I see Conscious Communication & Somatic Intelligence not only as a practice for personal development but as a valuable foundation for embodied activism. Learning to show up authentically, to speak our truth, to be able to communicate needs and boundaries, to be empathetic with ourselves and those around us — these are all essential abilities to transform not only our personal experience but to shape the world around us.

About the format

We will meet weekly for 10 live group sessions via Zoom. This is NOT a theory course. Classes are interactive, include partner exercises, open group sharing. The courses that I offer are rooted in the concept of Emergence. This means that everyone is invited to bring their own wisdom, experience and knowledge to the table & this means that within each session there is space for spontaneity and intuitiveness to flourish.
The aim is to learn through experience and exchange rather than one-sided conveyance of theoretical knowledge.

However, for the geeky ones, there will be PDF workbooks / content summaries for some classes and literature/video references to experts in the field of somatics & communication.

Due to family reasons I have to postpone the course, possibly even cancel it for Spring 2022. To receive news about the course start or the retreats for 2022, sign up for the newsletter.

About the Facilitator

Janina Schwager

Being born into a world that is driven by money and mania of industrial growth, undermined by destructive behaviour towards ourselves and this beautiful planet that we are sharing with so many other precious beings—not being able to comprehend these destructive ways of interacting—I started questioning the way we operate as humans from a young age.

Stepping into my first yoga class in 2012 initiated a process of shedding the many layers of an image that I had created of myself. The beginning of an inward journey: a journey of becoming aware and unlearning at the same time. Likewise, an outward journey—from frantic Berlin city life, to one year living in an ashram, into a life in nature.

After spending years of intensively studying the inner worlds, I am currently especially interested in how to bring the inner & outer work together. How do we not only heal ourselves, individually but create life-enhancing & supportive communities for all beings? I am passionate about exploring the interface between the spiritual, the individual, the political & the collective as I believe it is crucial that we, the people, start to take responsibility and create the world that we wish for.
