There are few opportunities to watch a true master at work.
Even fewer that let you feel the process as it unfolds in real time.
Join me, Dr. Diane Poole Heller, as I host Dr. Peter Levine, developer of Somatic Experiencing®, for a free 90-minute masterclass:
Shame & Grief: How Trauma Lives in the Body
This live online event offers a front-row seat to the living art of trauma healing — an unscripted demonstration of how the body tells its story through movement, breath, and sensation. You'll see how shame and grief intertwine within trauma responses, and how the nervous system, when met with safety and curiosity, begins to restore balance and dignity on its own.

In this all-new, 90-minute session, you'll have the rare opportunity to learn directly from Dr. Peter Levine, the creator of Somatic Experiencing® and a pioneer in the field of somatic trauma healing.
I'll be joining Peter to discuss:
•   How shame and grief live in the body and how they reflect the body's attempt to protect and self-regulate.
•   Core Somatic Experiencing® principles that help the nervous system's natural movements.
•   The interplay between shame and grief—how one can block the other, or allow release.
•   Gentle, body-based techniques to help release these patterns and support regulation.

This isn't just theoretical teaching––you'll see practical demonstrations and learn how somatic techniques and interventions are applied to real clinical scenarios.

As always: These types of conferences and summits are free during the conference. Once you sign up, you'll get a fair number of emails suggesting you pay for permanent access. That's really not necessary. The material gets recycled - it'll come up in another conference/summit in a few months!
