Embodied Listening

Finding deeper connection to your whole system to allow for deeper attunement with God, neighbor and self.

Struggling to connect with others on a deeper level?

We can’t go with others where we haven’t gone ourselves.

The answer: Embodied Listening

Begin by healing yours own nervous system with somatic practices designed to help you connect with your

WHOLE HEART

WHOLE MIND

WHOLE BODY

Then you can love your neighbor AS yourself.

Connect with your GOOD God given body and the parts that use physical symptoms to communicate.

Deeper connection to your whole system allows for deeper attunement with God, neighbor & self.

God is attuned to us ~ how are you attuned to Him?

Embodied Listening is 6 weeks

We meet via Zoom Mondays at 7 PM Eastern

  • Start with a somatic exercise designed to help you connect with God through your body.

  • Then you will bear witness as Marion guides a fellow participant to go deeper in listening to the parts in their body.

    • Holding space as another goes deeper is a gift to that person but is also allows our parts to know they too can have a voice.

  • We will conclude our time by allowing you to speak for your parts.

The somatic exercise and witness parts work will be recorded. We will not record as participants are invited to speak for their parts.

Meet Your Somatic IFS Guides

Let us move together through the practicing of bodily attunement to unite us to Christ on His Cross. Our guides bring deep formation in Internal Family Systems (IFS), advanced training in Somatic IFS/body-based work, and a Catholic vision of the human person.

She holds a Master of Science in Clinical Counseling and teaches within the Catholic Christian Meta Model of the Person. Marion is licensed in WV, TN, FL, MI, and PA and is an Approved Clinical Supervisor. She has completed IFS Level 3, served as a Program Assistant for IFS trainings, and brings extensive field experience in trauma response through the Green Cross Academy of Traumatology.

This gentle, faith-centered Lenten experience offers:

  • 6 live weekly online sessions (Mondays, 7 PM Eastern: Feb 23 – March 30) led by experienced facilitators Kathryn and Marion.

  • Guided prayerful somatic exercises each week to connect with your God-given body through gentle awareness, movement, or stillness.

  • Witnessed Parts Work — A safe, compassionate space where one volunteer participant (your choice) explores their inner system deeply while the group holds loving witness; your own parts often stir and speak in resonance.

  • Structured sharing time to practice "speaking for" your parts — naming them and describing their messages, sensations, or reactions with curiosity (no storytelling or fixing required).

  • Gentle, real-time coaching from facilitators to support openness, keep sharing grounded, and honor your system's pace.

  • Private, supportive group environment limited in size for intimacy, safety, and meaningful connection.

  • Optional camera-off participation (except for volunteers during their witnessed session) — focus on your inner experience in comfort.

  • Preparation guidance for creating a suitable space (e.g., comfortable clothing, room to lie down or move, avoiding overly cozy spots).

  • Opportunity for deeper individual follow-up if parts arise that need private attention (facilitators available post-group).

  • A sacred Lenten framework weaving embodied prayer, Internal Family Systems-inspired listening, and communal witness to invite God's transforming love.

No prior experience required — just an open heart and willingness to show up. Registration includes all sessions and materials outlined above.

FAQs

  • It's a 6-week online series during Lent focused on deepening your relationship with God, your body, and your inner world through embodied prayer and compassionate listening to your "parts" (aspects of your inner system). We use gentle somatic exercises, witnessed parts work, and "speaking for" parts in a supportive, prayerful group setting.

  • No prior experience is required! This is welcoming for beginners. We'll guide you step by step with clear explanations and gentle coaching. Curiosity and an open heart are all that's needed.

  • They’re rooted in the Catholic understanding of the human person but offered in a spirit of welcome to all Christians. Each session integrates faith, psychology, and embodied awareness in a way that honors each participant’s relationship with God.

  • You can email Christina at trinitas@integratedhearts.com and we’ll respond as soon as possible.

  • No—this is a faith-centered spiritual and embodied listening group, not licensed therapy or medical treatment. It's inspired by Internal Family Systems (IFS) principles but framed within Christian spirituality and prayer. If deeper personal therapeutic needs arise, facilitators can offer referrals for individual support.

  • We create a safe, compassionate space, and facilitators provide gentle guidance. You're never required to share aloud. If something feels overwhelming, you can step back, keep your camera off, or connect privately with facilitators afterward for follow-up. This isn't crisis support—reach out to a professional if needed.

  • Find a private, comfortable space where you can lie down or move gently. Wear loose clothing. Have water nearby. Avoid overly cozy spots (like bed) to stay present. Camera is optional and off for most (only on for volunteers during their witnessed session). Sessions are 60-90 minutes (exact timing shared upon registration).

  • Email Christina at christina@trinitas.guide to express interest. We have space for 6 volunteers across the series. If selected, you'll have your camera/audio on during your turn (with a quick sound/video check beforehand), but participation is fully voluntary.

  • Yes—strict confidentiality is required. What’s shared in the group stays in the group. No recording, screenshots, or external discussion without everyone's explicit permission.

  • Totally fine! Many participate silently. You can listen, notice your own parts internally, and share only if/when it feels right. Facilitators model and coach gently.

  • Facilitators will record for internal quality/safety purposes only (with strict confidentiality). Only the exercise and demo will be recorded. Participants agree not to record without explicit consent from all involved.

    This program invites God's transforming love through embodied awareness and compassionate inner listening. If your question isn't covered here, feel free to reach out—we're happy to help!
