About the training
Deepen the practice. Learn to share it responsibly.
A six-month immersion in embodied consensus, somatic listening and the Spiral Blend in practice — for people who want more depth, subtlety and reliability in their own practice, and the care and clarity to share it with others.
You’ll leave with a more embodied relationship to the work and a clearer foundation for guiding others in ways that are ethical, responsive and alive.
What the six months include
Learning that becomes dependable — not just understood.
40+ hours of live training
Experiential teaching with David and the training team.
30+ hours of cohort practice
Guided sessions to deepen the material through repetition and reflection.
Partner & small-group practice
Ongoing practice between sessions, bringing the work into real relationship.

Facilitation & program design
Structures, practice and mentoring to guide foundational learning experiences.

Your guide
David Weinstock

For more than four decades, David has explored how the body can become a source of empathy, choice and compassionate action — and developed Somatic Consensus from that work.
Questions
Does joining the waitlist commit me?
No. It’s free and there’s no payment. You’ll get a few emails as the program takes shape, and can unsubscribe anytime.
Do I need to take the Foundation first?
Yes — the Foundation, or an approved equivalent, is a prerequisite. See the Foundation →
I’m not in a Pacific time zone. Can I still take part?
Yes. It’s fully online, every session is recorded, and there will be live question-and-answer sessions at more accessible times for Asia-Pacific and other distant time zones.
What if cost is a concern?
Payment plans and supported tuition will be available. Join the waitlist and we’ll share the details — please don’t rule yourself out before then.
