A Summer Series · July 2026
A summer series of healing trauma through movement, breath, and sound.
With Dr. Frank Anderson & Paul Denniston
Enroll for July →Live on Zoom, with a limited in-person cohort · Every session recorded
The invitation
We name our patterns and trace them to where they began. And still — something stays: a bracing that won't soften, a survival strategy that once kept us safe and now keeps us stuck.
That isn't a failure of understanding. It's a sign that something is still held in the body, waiting for a different kind of attention.
This summer, Dr. Frank Anderson and Paul Denniston bring together the science of trauma and the practice of the body — taking what's been suppressed and beginning to move it through, with movement, breath, and sound.
This is not a lecture. You'll leave each session having felt something shift — not just having learned something new.
The self can be wounded. The soul cannot. Healing begins in remembering the difference.
The premise of the work
What's included
Real-time, expert-led teaching, interactive discussion, and a collaborative approach to healing — four Monday afternoons together.
In every session, simple yet powerful movement, breath, and sound practices that integrate the learning into the body.
All course materials — videos, readings, and exercises — organized in one place for ongoing learning, long after July.
Every session is recorded and posted, so you can revisit the work any time — or catch a week you couldn't join live.
Learn alongside others in an intimate, supportive space — with a limited in-person group joining each session live.
Grief Yoga® principles — movement, breath, and sound — to release stored emotion, foster connection, and support transformation.
What you'll walk away with
01
Learn to recognize the patterns and protective strategies that shape your emotions and reactions — meeting them with curiosity and compassion, and opening new pathways to healing.
02
Connect with the calm, confident, and compassionate presence beneath survival — the steady ground you can lead from when life feels overwhelming.
03
Develop tools to meet inner and outer conflict safely, turning vulnerability into a source of connection, authenticity, and resilience.
04
Experience the power of witnessing your pain, creating new corrective experiences, and letting go of the weight of old wounds.
05
Anchor your transformation with practical mind, body, and spirit tools — so you can move forward with clarity, strength, and purpose.
06
Use Grief Yoga® principles — movement, breath, and sound — to release stored emotion, deepen healing, and align the body with emotional and spiritual growth.
07
Learn to carry these practices forward — supporting yourself and others — and build a foundation for lasting well-being and transformation.
The journey · Four Mondays
Four movements, one each week — from coming home to the body to stepping forward, changed.
Session 1 · July 6
I · Embody
Reconnect to the body as a source of strength, wisdom, and intuition — the calm power beneath survival, and the foundation for everything that follows.
Session 2 · July 13
II · Bridge
Meet the survival strategies that once kept you safe — with compassion, not blame — and begin to repair the connections trauma severed.
Session 3 · July 20
III · Release
Reach the wounds the mind can't talk its way into, and move what's been suppressed through the body — where talk alone cannot go.
Session 4 · July 27
IV · Transform
Integrate what's shifted into daily life. Anchor your healing through embodied practice, and step forward with clarity, strength, and purpose.

We meet via Zoom on four Mondays — July 6, 13, 20, and 27, 2026 — from 12:00 PM PT / 3:00 PM ET. We'll get together for two hours each week. A limited number of seats are available to attend in person; everyone else joins live on Zoom.
Each week, we record our session and post it to the training platform, usually within a day. You'll have ongoing access to the recordings, so you can revisit the work again and again — and you won't fall behind.
This course is focused on understanding grief and trauma, and is designed to pull back the curtain on these often-misunderstood experiences.
We'll talk about the ways trauma and grief affect the mind and body, and share strategies for integration and healing.
You're welcome to participate no matter where you are on your grief and trauma journey — whether it's something you (or your clients) have lived with for years, or something new.
We don't expect this course to be activating, but instead to be a helpful resource: increasing agency and understanding, and offering hope for empowerment and healing.
This course was created to deepen your understanding of and confidence with grief and trauma, and to give you mind/body/spirit tools through a somatic experience. There are no CEUs offered for this training.
Not at all. This mind/body approach focuses on emotional liberation, not physical flexibility — creating a safe, supportive space where everyone is welcome, regardless of experience or ability.
From surviving to thriving
We begin July 6, and spaces are limited.
