Head Heart Body Practice Group
In the midst of the uncertainty that marked 2020-2022, three companions — Allie Middleton , Maria Sousa , and Newell Eaton — found solace and inspiration practicing each week in a series of workshops entitled “Embodied Leadership while Working from Home.”
Given the turmoil happening in the world these days and our desire to continue to practice in community, we decided to seed a new version of it.
What to Expect
Our free offer is an exploratory journey into the interconnectedness of Head, Heart and Body Centered Practices. The first three gatherings will be learning and practicing with Bohmian Dialogue. The next series of explorations will be three sessions each of other interests and skills we have in our toolkits. These include linguistics, meditation, yoga, Social Presencing Theatre, energy awareness and somatics, breath practices, brain gym, Liberating Structures, deep listening, and applied improv along with other playful and engaging practices we love. They are all able to applied in any context you live, learn, work and play in.
We also welcome you to host practices you would like to explore with others. We view our role principally as conveners, co-creating a safe and open space for fellow explorers. We will probably even do some dancing together!
Whether you’re a seasoned practitioner or new to these life giving practices, your most welcome.
We’d be thrilled to have you join us on this enriching journey.

Embodying Emergence – A Presencing Approach
Transformative Ecology of Communication Overview: Join us in an immersive workshop designed to shift from ME to WE awareness through a dynamic yet grounded ecology of communication. Explore how awareness, creativity, and action can co-evolve and yield surprising insights both personally and collectively. Objectives: Cultivate an inner space by releasing the thinking mind with a lifted heart & playful, relaxed body. Engage with the concept that “creativity comes from nothing,” fostering revelatory novelty. Learn to navigate cultural and epigenetic conditions to emerge with new collective insights. Activities: Reflective practices to deepen awareness and connection. Collaborative exercises to explore emerging creativity. Group discussions with individual and group movements to integrate insights for the benefit of personal and systemic transformation.

LifeForce Yoga®
MOOD MANAGING YOGA PRACTICE
LifeForce Yoga® was developed by Amy Weintraub, author of Yoga for Depression and the founder of the LifeForce Yoga Healing Institute as a means of working with mood management using yogic tools. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, more than 20 million Americans suffer from a mood disorder each year – 14.9 million suffer from depression and 40 million report anxiety. Many have success with talk therapy and/or with pharmaceuticals. Some people are looking for different ways to treat their mood issues and finding great success with yoga. As a result of her own healing practices and spiritual searches Allie now works to share the process of embodying the wisdom of yoga traditions and other contemplative practices with her clients and students. She is a faculty member with the LifeForce Yoga Healing Institute.
LifeForce Yoga® is not just yoga poses, although that is a part. LifeForce Yoga finds its foundation in ancient yogic practices (from the Yoga Sutras, the Hatha Yoga Pradipika, the Bhagavad Gita, Advaita Vedanta, to name a few sources) LifeForce Yoga empowers the practitioner to manage changing moods. Through the practice of LifeForce Yoga, you will learn to dissolves the blocks that keep you from knowing your deeper self.
LifeForce Yoga® includes:
- Setting intention (sankalpa)
- Visualization (bhavana)
- Breathing techniques (pranayama & kriya)
- Sound (mantra)
- Finger yoga (mudra)
- Postures (asana)
- Meditation (dhyana)
