Advanced Somatic Consensus Training is a six-month immersion in embodied consensus, somatic listening, and the deepening of Spiral Blend in practice.
This training is for people who want to strengthen the depth, subtlety, and reliability of their practice while learning how to share Spiral Blend with greater care, relational clarity, and responsibility.
Over six months, you will refine your capacity to listen in and through the body, stay grounded in complexity, and work with others in ways that support deeper contact, wiser discernment, and more skillful facilitation.
You will leave with a more embodied relationship to the work, greater readiness to facilitate learning spaces, and a clearer foundation for sharing Spiral Blend in ways that are ethical, responsive, and alive.
The program combines direct teaching, repeated embodied practice, individual reflection, peer learning, and supported facilitation. The rhythm is designed to help new capacities become dependable—not simply understood.
Cohort learning accelerates embodiment because it brings practice into the fullness of relationship. We are challenged, supported, and guided to become more open, skillful, compassionate, and responsible for the quality of our connections.
The program welcomes different cultures, generations, identities, geographic locations, and life experiences. The diversity of the group becomes part of our education as trainers. We practice the kind of leadership presence that can cultivate generative community wherever we go—and leave our relationships, communities, and world more vital.
The year-long program provides the individualized guidance, practice, mentoring, and competency development needed to move toward Somatic Consensus Trainer Certification and begin designing and facilitating foundational learning programs.
Certification is based on demonstrated embodiment and facilitation competencies, not attendance alone. Individual timing may vary, and readiness is assessed collaboratively with care for integrity, responsibility, and each person’s authentic path.
Build reliable capacity to resource yourself, relate under pressure, and move flexibly through the Spiral Blend.
Design and guide learning experiences, receive feedback, and refine your presence and choices.
Show growing skill in embodiment, relationship, group leadership, and ethical facilitation.
Develop your own authentic way of sharing the work within an ongoing community of practice.
Practice with others in a supportive environment where the work can be witnessed, reflected, and integrated. The cohort structure offers a steady rhythm for learning through presence, relationship, and repetition.
The live teaching sessions will be offered in the mornings, Pacific Time. Recordings of every session will be included in the learning program, along with all course materials, so participants can follow the complete journey from anywhere in the world.
For participants in Asia-Pacific and other distant time zones, we will also offer live question-and-answer sessions at more accessible times. This allows you to learn through the recordings at your own pace while still having opportunities to connect, ask questions, and receive support directly.
The quality of what we offer is inseparable from how we embody it. This training develops personal practice, leadership presence, community capacity, and facilitation skill together.
Reliable, lasting change grows from practices that remain relevant and lifelong. You will meet the histories and strategies embodied in you with commitment, care, and courage—peeling back what no longer serves, cultivating inner resourcefulness and self-acceptance, and making room for deeper motivations and unique gifts to emerge. This work can be unsettling, and it can also become a homecoming.
We all lead our own lives, and each of us is both teacher and learner. You will strengthen your capacity to listen to your deepest knowing, engage a larger vision, build needed bridges, and meet changing times with honesty, courage, empathy, and compassion. As embodiment deepens, leadership becomes a more healing, connective, and empowering presence.
Community is both the ground of the training and a capacity we practice. Learning in cohort helps us cultivate respect for ourselves, for one another, and for all of life; listen beyond ourselves; take responsibility for connection; fulfill commitments; and embody new, generative ways of being together.
Develop the presence, structures, language, and practical tools to design and guide embodied learning experiences for individuals, partners, organizations, and groups from varied backgrounds. You will learn to offer work that is relevant, creative, empowering, and rooted in your own authentic way of teaching.

David Weinstock is an international trainer of Nonviolent Communication, a Somatic Coach, fourth-degree Aikido instructor, and author of Becoming What You Need: Practices for Embodying Nonviolent Communication.
For more than four decades, David has explored how the body can become a source of intelligence, empathy, choice, and compassionate action. He developed Somatic Consensus from the meeting of Nonviolent Communication, somatics, Aikido, consensus, activism, artistry, and the lived experience of intentional community.
His teaching invites people to move beyond understanding alone and cultivate practices that become available in the moments that matter—when relationship is strained, choices are difficult, and courageous action is needed.
