Intro to Embodied Leadership, Lesson 4: Creating a Dojo in Your Life & Cultivating Your Practice in a Brave Space

To cultivate a practice, we must learn to create a dojo or practice space in our lives. Creating and appreciating a brave space with a responsive structure and an inside and outside that allows transformation and change to occur is important. 

In this training, we will reflect on lessons 1, 2, and 3 to appreciate how the role of space and structure relate to the way our nervous system and psyches work. We will explore our relationship with four different containers, including our solo somatic practice in our bodies, our 1:1 coaching relationship, our group containers, and our relationship with our default life, work, and relationship challenges. 

This lesson will open with six guiding questions: 

• What does it mean to create a container? 

• What are three different examples of containers in this program?

• How do space and structure relate to yin & yang or feminine & masculine?

• Do you need a container/dojo to transform and grow in your life?

• How do space & structure relate to the nervous system & psyche? 

• Examples of cultivating a practice in this program and after
