282 - Unlocking Embodiment: The Hidden Key to Effective Facilitation with Mark Walsh

We are all bodily beings. You do not have a body, you are your wise, sense-making, intuitive, feeling body! And yet, modernity has found itself in a disembodied state; we live in the mind and merely exist in a body.

Mark Walsh, the embodiment anti-guru, is here to reconnect the mind-body divide and bring us back home. He’s trained local NGOs in conflict zones, taught meditation to soldiers, and even has a black belt in aikido, helping organisations and coaches to work with the body to rediscover its intelligence. 

It’s a delight to share Mark’s beautiful and vital work with you all - join us for an hour of embodied wisdom, neuroscience and powerful facilitation tips - free from woo-woo. 

Find out about:

• What embodiment is and how we can relearn it
• How to integrate embodiment practices into facilitation, for a richer experience
• The role of Aikido in peacebuilding, trauma work and facilitation
• Learn about the practical state regulation technique of ‘centring’
• How we can read a room through an embodied assessment
• Why we need to use more exact language for terms like ‘energy’ and ‘holding space
