The Framework:
Michele first created this small group meditation training in 2019 in order to invite students home to their untamed true nature. On a broad scale, it supports three layers of inquiry and healing: 1. self, 2. society and 3. nature.
Woven together, these layers of practice will inspire healing, wonder, and likely, experiences of the loving Source energy found at the heart of meditation.
-
Monthly One-on-one sessions: Private mentorship meetings serve to address personal healing and integration. Sessions with Michele range from Reiki healing to somatic therapy to co-meditations and sound healing explorations. These are unique to each student’s needs. Together we’ll explore self and co-regulation.
-
Monthly Classroom Session and weekly zoom sessions: Practices and discussions in community to bring healing to us as social animals. On this level, we endeavor to create healthy connections and co-regulate with each other. We will spend time in rhythm and cycle, circle and flow learning about meditative states, nervous system regulation and the history of violent supremacy acted out by our culture over the last 10,000+ years. As we experience and learn to teach powerful meditation practices, we will heal in connection and also begin to disrupt the hierarchical systems of oppression that hold us all back. We’ll be able to also explore co-regulation and social engagement in these sessions.
-
Get Outside: We will spend time in nature to help heal our wounds of separation from the natural world. It is imperative that we cultivate and nurture our relationship with the living, breathing world that is all around us. This layer is woven throughout the training, and is highlighted during the silent retreat weekend and the nighttime bicycle ride. Friends, we’ll be deep in ecological engagement and co-regulating with our stone and plant family.
Learn to trust your magic
The Untamed Wisdom teacher training experience is designed to take you more deeply into your personal practice so that you can teach from a place of embodied knowing. You will learn to teach a trauma sensitive, sacred somatic style using an elemental framework (earth, water, fire, air, ether). Special attention will be paid (primarily, though not solely, through the lens of eco-feminism,) to unseating systems of oppression.
YOU CAN TAKE THIS TRAINING AS A DEEP DIVE INTO MEDITATION - EVEN IF YOU’RE NEVER PLANNING TO TEACH!!
These considerations will lay the foundation for teaching the following specific meditations:
Yoga Nidra meditation
Sacred Mandala of Support meditation (metta, benefactor and inner sanctuary)
Guided imagery to include goddess, chakra and moon meditations

“The best training!! This particular training is not only how I learned to teach meditation. It’s where I truly connected with myself and learned how to listen to the land.”
