Join us at our first USABP Speaker Series event.
Featuring
Susan Bauer, MFA, MSME/T, RSDE
At this event we'll be talking with Susan Bauer, author of The Embodied Teen: A Somatic Curriculum for Teaching Body-Mind Awareness, Kinesthetic Intelligence, and Social and Emotional Skills.
Somatic practices help us learn about our bodies and build inner resources to tap into our body intelligence on a regular basis. Basic principles of somatics—like paying attention within and developing a less judgmental ‘inner witness’—can be a key to helping teens to thrive. But how do you make these practices accessible for teens, so they can develop a level of comfort with their own bodies? Come see how it’s done!
Join us to learn about this groundbreaking work. Bring your questions. Find out more about Susan’s Embodiment in Education™ trainings. Get a demonstration of this ground breaking work.
Check back for more details.
This event will be recorded and available for members and non-members who register for this event. This event will not include CEs.
About The Embodied Teen
Designed for educators, therapists, counselors, and movement practitioners, The Embodied Teen presents a pioneering introductory, student-centered program in somatic movement education based on over 30 years of working with youth and young adults. The practices help students reconnect to their sense of self, cultivating both self-assurance and self-care. Students learn the basics of anatomy and physiology, and unlearn self-defeating habits that impact body image and self-esteem. As they recognize their commonalities (such as that we all have a heart, lungs, and skeleton within us), students develop compassion for themselves and others. Just as important, they also begin to accept and appreciate their diversity. These core social-emotional skills are essential in building more inclusive and collaborative environments.
Learn to empower teens as they navigate the volatile physical and emotional challenges they face during this vibrant, powerful stage of life. In the words of Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen, “Susan Bauer offers educators a dynamic curriculum with clear guidelines for helping adolescents discover ways to enliven their sense of self, recognize and accept the diversity of others, and establish a base of lifelong habits for well-being.”
Gaining the capacity to facilitate somatic movement practices—in a way that is specifically adapted to the unique needs of adolescents and young adults—can be beneficial to professionals in many fields.
