Somatic Integrations: Somatic Praxis Professional Mentorship Program
Somatic Praxis is a 15-hour, 1:1 somatic mentorship (training and coaching) program based on specific professional needs, capacities, and limitations. 
We will craft the course together, setting goals and intentions to learn somatic skills, ​apply the skills, and use cycles of reflection and feedback to integrate and guide further learning.  This course is set up as a praxis space, which integrates practice and application, thus is intended for professionals who are actively in practice and would benefit from a supported implementation process.      

Time Commitment: 
  • 10 weekly 1.5hr in-person somatic integration classes, (15 hours total)
  • 1-4 hours of personalized homework outside of class.  Homework may include readings, somatic skills practices, audio talks/videos, and themed explorations.
  • Daily practice time, amount TBD
As a 1:1 course, the timing is dependent on our mutual availability.  Within the application, you'll state options for when the course could work for you.  Upon receiving the application, I will cross reference your availability with my own and propose a schedule.  

I look forward to working with you.

Please share any identity/positionality markers that you feel are important to name.
Positionality markers are parts of our identities that shape our lived and cultural experiences.  Though there is no "one" monolithic experience of life, we know that certain markers have shared experiences, particularly in cultures that value certain identities over others.  For example, the experience of living as person of color in the US is different than that of a white person.  Or, the experience of living as a man, is different than living as a woman, or trans or non-binary person.

Thank you for your application.  

Upon submitting, you'll receive a confirmation message that will give you a link to set up a 30 Minute Phone Call. 
In this call, we'll make space to ask questions, get to know each other, and make sure we are a good fit for working together.  It's important to me that we both feel like I am able to support you in the specific of your profession and that we both practice "consentful acceptance" of the course.   

Upon acceptance, and to confirm your participation, a $250 non-refundable deposit will be required.  
Venmo: @amafranza (last 4 digits: 2629) Please write Somatic Praxis in the comment.

After the call, please expect 1-3 weeks for the scheduling magic to happen. 
Why does it take so long?  Because the number of available spots are limited and the scheduling is specific to each person, it takes some time to map out folks availabilities and then puzzle together a coherent schedule.  Thanks for your patience.  
A copy of your responses will be emailed to the address you provided.
