S.E.E.R - Systemic Essential Energy Retrieval

8 Week Movement Medicine® Intensive Online Course

1st December 2024 - 2 Feb 2025

with Keef Wesolowski-Miles

The S.E.E.R Process - Systemic Essential Energy Retrieval, is rooted in the ancient shamanic art of SOUL RETRIEVAL. It is an invitation to assume creative responsibility and reclaim essential life energy and personal power from stories embedded in challenging past experiences. 

Movement Medicine® is a body based movement meditation practice that will reconnect you to the wisdom of living from the heart, the joy of knowing who you are and the satisfaction of making your unique contribution to life.

During this 8 Week Programme you will cultivate and strengthen a powerful personal MEDICINE CIRCLE. A circle of wholeness and healing. A circle of awakening, integrity, power, protection and inspiration.

We will explore essential resourcing practices, dance with the disempowering roles of THE VICIOUS CIRCLE and cultivate the archetypal empowerment of THE MEDICINE CIRCLE.

From this resourced place we will learn and practise the alchemical medicine of S.E.E.R as a powerful tool for soul evolution and wholesome living.

This programme offers a unique opportunity to study deeply with Movement Medicine Teacher and Somatic Soul Guide Keef Wesolowski-Miles within the safe and intimate container of a small community of cohorts who share a common purpose - living a fulfilling and creative life empowered with integrity, passion, purpose, patience and the poetry of presence. 

In addition to cultivating your own personal Movement Medicine practice as a soul resource for everyday living, you will be invited to do plenty of self-reflection, wholeness resourcing practices, explore ‘deepening’ invitations and wander in nature frequently. You will have fine company by your side as you remember, reSource and enliven the magnificent and unique creative being you were born to be. 

"It’s been so great to connect with a beautiful community of like minded souls to dance my socks off once a week! I was incredibly astounded how I could explore my inner emotional landscapes through the dance and throughout the time have moved through several powerful Movement Medicine systems and approaches, each with its own unique flavour, realisations, insights and healing. I cannot recommend this container or any other group containers held by Keef enough - Experience deep healing & have tons of fun in the process - what’s not to love?!” Jess Falmer, Coach

Course Structure

  • 7 weekly Wednesday ReSource Sessions

December 2024 - 4, 11, 18th and January 2025 - 8, 15, 22, 29th at 20.30-21.00 (UK)

These sessions are a combination Movement Medicine practice and teachings regarding the conceptual frameworks, practices and processes of this programme. This will include at least 90 mins of actual Movement Medicine practice. Both the teachings and practices will evolve and expand, built on a simple foundation of core essentials.

  • 3 Monthly Sunday Community Medicine Circles 

December 2024 - 1 st , January 2025 -12th and February 2025 - 2nd at 14.00-17.00 (UK)

Sharing, witnessing and feedback. Arguably the most potent medicine is community. In these monthly circles, we will have the opportunity to share our process, to be witnessed and to witness each other. The invitation is always - What is asking to be felt? What is asking to be expressed? What is asking to die and what is asking to be born? The material you bring is whatever is emergent, whatever is hot. It may explicitly relate to the practices and processes we are exploring together or it may have a wider lens regarding what is alive for you in your life. These sessions will be book ended with 2 x 30 minute Movement Journeys.

  • 1 Sunday Soul Gold Ceremony - 3 hours dance

February 2025 -2nd at 10.00-13.00 (UK)

This will be a deep dive into the Movement Medicine Mandala and another opportunity to weave together all the medicine you have been gathering and especially to further embody and activate the soul medicine inscribed in the incantations you will have uploaded from the S.E.E.R Process work. Ultimately, the intention is empowerment, responsibility and the harvesting of the fruits of our journey together.

  • Peer Support Group and Personal Study Invitations

- ReSource WhatsApp. Ongoing sharing support and inspiration where everyone will be encouraged to offer words, voicedrops, share challenges, victories, track commitments that you want accountability for and much more. These groups are as alive and vital as the energy each of us contribute. It's a place for the community to ReSOURCE and for you to ReSOURCE the community. 

- Circle of Support. We will constellate small circle peer listening groups for weekly check-ins. 

- Study Invitations. I will invite self reflection and self-practice opportunities; sometimes for the whole group and sometimes more personalised. 

  • 1-1 Mentoring Calls

Optional at additional cost.

This course is essentially an extrapolation of phase one of the MENTORING PROGRAMME I have been offering individuals for the last few years. There are many blessings to sharing this journey in community - affordability, good company, peer support and inspiration, the power of witnessing and being witnessed - and inevitably it is not possible to be quite so precise and personalised. 

To bridge the space between the Mentoring work and this group format, I am offering these 1-1 sessions at a reduced price to participants of this course so you can really dive deep into the intimate specifics of your personal journey. Please get in touch if you would like to further resource yourself in this way.

Course Content

  • Week One 

- Sunday 1st Dec 2024, 14.00-17.00 (UK)- Inauguration Community Medicine Circle +Dance

- Wednesday 4th Dec 2024, 18.30-21.00 (UK) - ReSource Practice

Core Practices: Awakening The Wild Dancer, Tree of Life, Yin-Yang, M.E.S.A Practice - Movement Energetics of Spatial Awareness,  Essential Elements

We will start this journey with a thorough embodied exploration of the core essential practices of Movement Medicine. These simple yet profound movement practices are the core foundation for the whole body of Movement Medicine work. They provide essential resourcing and refuge for the deeper and more intensive processes. If you are continuing on from the preceding ReSOURCE programme, this repetition of foundational material is absolutely essential. Repetition is the mother of genius. These practices can be the foundation for a lifetime of essential resourcing if we choose. The more we show up the more we grow up - into the branches of the tree of life and the more we grow down - into the roots. If this is new to you - congratulations! These powerful life tools will serve you well.

  • Week Two

- Wednesday - 11th Dec 2024, 18.30-21.00 (UK) - ReSource Practice

Core Practices: Elemental Heart: Fear/Awakening, Anger/Integrity, Sorrow/Surrender, Joy/Gratitude, Compassion/ Grace

We will continue to deepen our exploration of the core practices and start to build on that foundation by touching on our relationship with and between our body, heart, mind, soul and spirit. Throughout our time together we will work with the Movement Medicine ‘Animal Intelligence and the Chambers of the Heart’ map. We will engage with this as a model for our sessions to feel what needs to be felt and to express what needs to be expressed in a safe, non-judgemental space, where you can be witnessed in the emergent emotional landscapes of your heart with love, respect and compassion.  

  • Week Three

- Wednesday 18 Dec 2024, 18.30-21.00 (UK) - ReSource Practice

Core Practices: Vicious Circles. Roles: victim, persecutor, rescuer, hungry ghost

We will explore some of the debilitating and destructive roles which we all find ourselves identifying with, personally and collectively, for reasons, seasons or lifetimes.

We will explore ways of becoming more aware of what happens to us on every level of our being and how we behave from that place when we find ourselves, consciously or unconsciously identified with these roles. As Ya’Acov Darling Khan says “In a world in which we are educated to feel sorry for ourselves and to live inside the story of our own disempowerment, the Inner Shaman works to change this perpetual drain on their energy. For themselves, yes. But also, for all that they love.”

  • Week Four

- Wednesday 8 Jan 2025, 18.30-21.00 (UK) - ReSource Practice

Core Practices: Medicine Circles. Archetypal Allies: Dancing Warrior, Dancing Fool, Wise Elder, Wounded Healer, Great Mother / Great Father

With the deepening awareness that arrives from our ongoing exploration of Vicious Circles and their impact on our lives, we will then invite an alliance of archetypes to serve as medicinal soul resourcing to expand our palette of possibilities and our capacity to have more life affirming choice fullness available to us in any given moment.

In Carl Jung's psychoanalytic  theory, an archetype is  a primitive mental image inherited from the earliest human ancestors, and is a living energy present in the collective unconscious. As such it has pure potential and can have a powerful effect when activated in the human psyche and especially when brought into embodiment and utilised in daily life.

- Sunday 12th Jan 2025, 14.00-17.00 (UK) - Continuation Community Medicine Circle + Dance

  • Week Five

- Wednesday 15 Jan  2025, 18.30-21.00 (UK) - ReSource Practice

Core Practices: Systemic Essential Energy Retrieval

This is where it starts to get really juicy. This is the territory of soul retrieval, harvesting gold from our wounds, recovering and harnessing lost, forgotten or frozen life energy, rewriting our stories and planting the seeds of possibility for fulfilment, interconnection and realisation in this one precious life.

In this first session we explore what I call the Arc of Integrity - Preparation> Process > Integration. We will lay the ground for the SEER Process and start to identify the raw material from our personal life experiences that we will explore over these three weeks focused on The S.E.E.R PROCESS. We will ‘ walk the course’ - learn the map of the process in an embodied way.

Whilst these are designed to be stand alone programmes, it is optimal to follow the sequence ReSource, How The Light Gets In - Systemic Essential Energy Retrieval , Phoenix rEVOLUTION.

21 Portals of the Movement Medicine® Mandala

The symbol of the Movement Medicine® Mandala contains all the teachings that make up Movement Medicine. Each of its 21 gateways is an invitation to engage with a different aspect of life in the most creative way possible. Each Gateway opens up an important aspect of life's journey. As your practice deepens, the mandala becomes more and more useful, both as a reminder of where you are, and as a measure of your evolution.

The ancient Greek symbol of the Phoenix sits at the centre of the mandala. The Phoenix is explored in depth in the Awakening The Wild - Movement Medicine Intensive Course- ‘Phoenix rEVOLUTION’ .

“Given enough resources - namely love, enough safety, support, acceptance and movement, all human beings have it within them to rise from the ashes of suffering and create a new story. The cycle of life, death and rebirth that the Phoenix reminds us of reflects the reality of mortality and opens us up to the reality that all things come to an end. 'Dying whilst still living' is a universal shamanic principle and philosophy. In order to evolve, our patterns, identities, and roles often come into question. The presence of the Phoenix reminds us that change is both inevitable and constant.Dancing with whatever life brings is part of what Movement Medicine teaches us. Change is part of life. Whether it involves an actual death or a metaphorical one, working with the Phoenix as a symbol helps us to be more at ease with life's only guarantees - namely change and death.” Susannah and Ya'acov Darling Kahn - Co-Founders of The School of Movement Medicine

Vicious Circles and Medicine Circles

Deactivating Reactive Roles and Living with Response Ability.

Vicious Circles: Victim, Persecutor, Rescuer and Hungry Ghost

Medicine Circles: Dancing Warrior, Dancing Fool, Wise Elder, Wounded Healer

During this programme will dive into the territory of the roles which we all find ourselves identifying with, personally and collectively, for reasons, seasons or lifetimes. We will explore ways of becoming more aware of what happens to us on every level of our being and how we behave from that place when we find ourselves, consciously or unconsciously identified with these roles.

With that deepening awareness we will then invite an alliance of archetypes to serve as medicinal soul resourcing to expand our palette of possibilities and our capacity to have more life affirming choice fullness available to us in any given moment.

S.E.E.R Process Systemic Essential Energy Retrieval.

The SEER Process is rooted in the ancient shamanic art of soul retrieval. It is an invitation to assume creative responsibility and reclaim essential life energy and personal power from stories embedded in past experiences.  Movement Medicine - the embodied shamanic soul practice is the primary resource. 

From a well resourced place we will learn and practise the alchemical medicine of S.E.E.R. as a powerful tool for soul evolution.  

‘There is a crack, a crack in everything. That's how the light gets in’ Leonard Cohen

“Our perception of life is shaped by our past experiences and by the meaning we make from them about ourselves, about each other and about life. These stories have become so much part of the fabric of our everyday lives that we don’t even notice them. They are held in place by memory and we are experts at focusing on all the evidence in the present to repeatedly reconfirm our stories about how life is. This is good news. Why? Because we are naturally creative beings who are capable of changing the stories we tell, once we have become conscious of them. When the dancer inside us has access to this storehouse of creativity we become capable of reshaping and bringing healing and transformation to any experience. The intention is to consciously write the next chapters of your own personal and ancestral stories through intensive Movement Medicine practice. You will continually find ways to acknowledge your challenges and your wounds, and keep moving through them into a place where you are strengthened by your experiences, not weakened by them. Your history will then become a resource rather than an excuse. The SEER process releases energy from where it may be locked up in the undigested stories of our pasts so that it is available to us in the present and so makes the crucial difference in our ability to dream and manifest the lives we came here to live”  YaAcov Darling Kahn, cofounder of The School of Movement Medicine

The SEER Process is an excellent preparation for Phoenix Programme and other advanced Movement Medicine processes, immersions and training.

" Youwww! This was my very first experience such as this, and it was spectacular! Deeply profound, provocative and powerful. I accessed parts of my being that I have been unable to touch in the last 30 years of conventional talking therapy...the space felt extremely safe and sacred at all times, enabling me to open up and welcome in whatever feelings, both physical and emotional, arose in me. This feels like deeply important, life - changing work and I will return again. " James

Dancing With Death

Dancing with Death Ceremony is an opportunity for recapitulation, a chance to revisit and clean up your personal history. It is the process of reclaiming energy that is locked up in past events and interactions; to find peace, acceptance, forgiveness; to take responsibility and offer apology, gratitude and prayers for all beings everywhere. Ultimately it is an invitation to fully say YES to this one precious life and an invocation of Death specifically as an ally, a benevolent friend.
