EVENT DESCRIPTION
SoULL (School of Unusual Life Learning) is a multi-level somatically focused program about human life which helps you take your own life and work to a new level of depth and presence. SoULL’s primary task is to connect human helpers, healers and creatives with wisdom teachings sourced from the natural world so that they first recognize themselves and others as natural and find radical applications of this awareness.
SoULL presently has 2 years, the first being Pilgrim SoULL which is a 6-month program consisting of 3 units. The units are as follows:
Unit 1: The Nature of Being Human
May 14, 2021 - May 31, 2021
During the two weekends, Jeanne will introduce a language of human life itself, integrating the processes of aging and dying into an overview of human development. Through direct teaching and experiences, students will learn to see spiritual, energetic and somatic experience as deeply, inevitably connected, and discover the continuity of life (or “Life Movement”) within the body and psyche. They will learn to recognize patterns within this movement, which include the Vertical Pulse, the Allometric Wave, the Circular Pulse and the Radial Pulse. Students will link these insights to existing developmental theories within somatic psychology, especially Neo-Reichian theories. This unit will be in online format.
Unit 2: The Nature of Relationship
Aug 6, 2021 - Aug 9, 2021
Relationships are essential for human survival. But what are they? In this unit we take up this question, seeing relationships as living energetic systems that grow, breathe and change. We examine how they develop, get ill, heal, inevitably end and also live forever. The inevitable experience of grief will be explored, as well as attachment, breakups, and the components of good and bad endings. In this weekend, we study the Horizontal Pulse, the Vertical Pulse, and the Dual Pulse, patterns of natural life movement within a relationship. In sum, we will be studying the energetics of human relationship and how they effect our bodies. This weekend will be in-person at the DeKoven Center in Racine, WI.
Unit 3: The Nature of Community
Oct 15, 2021 - Oct 18, 2021
In the final unit of Pilgrim SoULL, students put learning about individuals and relationships together to explore larger systems of energy: families, groups and communities. We will look at common group energy forms, the leadership of these forms, as well as group identity and conflict, individual roles within groups and ultimately the role of communities in our understanding of life purpose. Finally, students look at how communities impact both individual development and relationship processes, and elements of wise and sustainable communities.
Unit 1 may be taken as a standalone unit. Students must fill out an application to be considered for the full program.
