What is Innerintensive?
Innerintensive is a 9-week online journey into the ideas, practices and experiences that shape Dreamwave.
We explore the body, nervous system, sound, perception, emotions, patterns, transformation, and the ways we relate to ourselves, others and the world around us.
Learning happens through teaching, conversation, guided experiences, personal practice and shared exploration.

Who is Innerintensive for?

Bring it into
your workFor practitioners who want to bring Dreamwave into the spaces they already hold, from healthcare and recovery to education, psychology, coaching, organizations and community work.
A place to begin
Previous experience with Dreamwave can be one point of connection; curiosity and a willingness to explore your own experience can be another.
Space to unlearn to learn.
Space to deconstruct to reconstruct.
Learning to hold space
To learn to hold space for others, we begin by learning to hold space for ourselves.
Innerintensive begins with your own experience. Through teaching, guided exploration and personal practice, you learn to notice, sense and understand what is happening within you, in the body, nervous system, emotions and patterns.

Relationship
As these capacities develop, you begin to bring them into relationship, learning to observe what is happening, sense what emerges and respond with presence and care.
This is where learning to hold space for others begins.
