Do you aspire to be a peaceful parent, but still end up yelling at your child?
Have you read all the books, and tried every strategy, but feel like a failure because nothing seems to work?
Are you anxious about keeping your teen safe and strong in an increasingly complex world?
Who this course is for
The Embodied Parenting day is for anyone who wants to reduce family stress, increase harmony and connection, and help their children to grow, love and thrive in their relationships and communities.
When we parent with the body in mind, we learn new ways of being in connection with ourselves and our children. We can navigate even the most challenging situations with greater insight, choice and ease. We are empowered to move beyond superficial behavioural techniques and parent from a place of attuned presence, intuition, and deep understanding.
You will learn tools and practices that help you:
shift from reactive to aware parenting
reduce exhaustion, overwhelm and shame
receive nourishment, care and compassion for yourself
gain insights into your own and your child’s behaviours
transform your responses to challenging behaviour
cultivate regulation and resilience in difficult times
rediscover joy, pleasure and intimacy after birth and beyond
avoid repeating the patterns of your parents
prevent passing past wounds onto future generations
become a mindful father and nurture courageous-hearted sons into adulthood
have difficult conversations that matter (like race, sex and consent)

This online event is sponsored by The Embodiment Conference.
An online conference and more than that, a kickstart to a global movement.
Embodiment is about making friends with your body, and feeling at home in your skin. The conference will give you free access to the top teachers in the field, offer a community of support, and be a huge global party to be remembered.
Embodiment is an antidote to the violence, disconnection and overwhelm caused by numbing, and a return to our shared humanity. For this reason, our goal is to make the 20’s the embodiment decade, and help humanity thrive. The Embodiment Conference is a university, a fiesta and a catalyst. In a cynical age this is a bold vision, yes, but if not now when?
TEC will again be a uniquely rich opportunity for diverse learning, and will not only help you to come home to the anchor of your body in a chaotic world: to energise and inspire you personally, but also to connect with others for whom the body matters too. TEC will use global online community, to create local communities and real-world action.
Participants have an opportunity not just to get a bunch of information, but to clarify and digest that into wisdom. Through this event you can:
• Learn from the leaders and innovators in the field
• Gain deep personal insights (we will provide a platform to help with this)
• Deepen and reboot your own practice
• Easily learn about many new areas
• Build real relationships and gain a community of support that will continue long
after the event (online and in-person).
• Have a really good time doing all this 
Making embodied wisdom available to everyone, everywhere, free of charge.
The Embodiment Conference 2020
The conference is back…bigger but easier
TEC2020 has 1000 presenters, ordered into 10 channels, and we have a clever system so you can easily find what you’ll most love.
Yes 1000! We expect 100,000+ people to attend and this may actually be the largest educational event in human history. Given the huge amount on offer and that most of us are busy people, some have asked us already how we suggest accessing the feast! Here are some options:
• Just watch the “main stage” channel where 3 of the best known presenters will be daily.
• Book some time off and treat it like a face-to-face conference! We’ll be releasing the schedule weeks in advance so you can plan if you like to be organised.
• Let us pick two talks a day for you, just tell us your main area of interest and time zone and we’ll send you a “best of” recommendations
• Dip in and out randomly simply by clicking the various channels (like having the best TV ever for 12 days)
• See what’s “hot” on the Facebook group
• Buy the recordings and never need Netflix again!
The conference is totally FREE – (only recordings cost money to cover our expenses)
After subscribing you will receive a welcome email and monthly newsletters. For more info see our privacy policy.
