workshops work 316 - Walking Your Story: A Somatic Path to Connection and Purpose with Jimmie White
What does facilitation have in common with quantum physics? What do organisations have to do with molecules? And why when you ask a question, are you playing around with someone’s mind?
All will be revealed this week with Jimmie White! A seven-times best-selling author, an indomitable facilitator that has trained The Peace Corps and supported NASA with somatic integration, and in a past life, a teacher of ballroom dancing.
It’s perhaps not surprising then, that Jimmie’s facilitation is alive with somatic movement, storytelling - and even neuroscience. It’s something Jimmie calls ‘Walking Your Story’: a physical navigating of group narratives, helping us to rewrite our stories, explore multiple outcomes, and bond with others in the steps we take.
Press play for an incredible, expansive conversation!
Find out about:
- Jimmie’s ‘Walking Your Story’ method, and how it can foster deep reflection, transformation and connection
- The Observer Effect of Quantum Physics and what it means for facilitation
- How physical movement can change our relationship with past stories
- The methods of somatic storytelling and socratic thinking
- The importance of fostering psychological safety in personal storytelling
