Trauma is the result of a stressful event or series of events over time that exceeds an individual’s ability to cope. Feelings of helplessness, loss of control, pain, confusion, betrayal and confusion may all have become more prevalent during this unprecedented time of crisis, resulting in worldwide overwhelm and potentially, trauma. As embodied facilitators, we must be able to identify the common responses and symptoms of those suffering from trauma in order to be able to best support and care for all those within our classes (and just as importantly, not to overstep our boundaries of expertise).
The Embodiment Conference is offering everybody the opportunity to learn more about trauma free of charge, giving us practical knowledge of how to proceed when we encounter those suffering from trauma. We have extensive experience working online, and a large and diverse team of facilitators.
World-renowned trauma experts will join together for a day to help facilitators to:
- Understand why the subjective response, rather than the objective trigger, plays a greater role in determining whether trauma is induced by an event (or series of events)
- Identify a range of reasons that cause some to be traumatised by particular events, even if they are not directly involved, whilst others remain unaffected
- Learn about the temperamental and environmental factors, including resilience and social support, that enable some individuals to better cope with potentially traumatic events
- Recognise the emotional and physical signs of trauma, along with the longer-term conditions and disorders that it can lead to
- Learn how to avoid where possible and best support when needed anyone in their class who may be triggered into re-living a traumatic event
- Understand why trauma can lead to feelings of numbness, disconnection and distrust, and why high-risk or dangerous behaviours may be more likely because of these feelings
- Learn about the range of treatments available for trauma so that they can appropriately guide those in their classes experiencing trauma to relevantly trained professionals
The event will be recorded and calls will be available on the resources page for 48hrs and as a package to buy in the shop soon after the event.

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.
