Body as Foundation

A Clinician Mentoring Intensive with Jill Satterfield

Most clinician training teaches you what to do with your clients’ bodies. This group is about something prior to that — what happens when you actually inhabit your own.

Your nervous system is your most essential clinical instrument. And yet most of us were never trained to use it. We learned frameworks, techniques, even somatic theory — while continuing, quietly, to work from the neck up. This group is an invitation to change that.

Over four months in an intimate online container of no more than eight clinicians, we’ll work directly with embodied mindfulness and somatic practice — not as tools to pass on to clients so much, but as a living foundation for your own presence. When you’re genuinely home in your own body, something shifts in the room. Clients feel it. You feel it. It isn’t a technique. It’s a transformation in how you show up.

This group is especially suited to clinicians who have some mindfulness or somatic training — and who sense that knowing about embodiment and actually being embodied are two very different things.

It is also a place where clinicians can set down the professional role for a time — to practice, to be uncertain, to share what’s alive in their own experience, in the company of others doing the same.

What We’ll Work With

Guided somatic and subtle body practices, interoception as a clinical and personal resource, and working with felt sense and feeling tone to recognize and interrupt reactive patterns — in yourself, and eventually in your work with others.

About Jill

Jill Satterfield has been teaching embodied mindfulness and somatic practice for over 40 years, drawing from Theravada and Tibetan Buddhist traditions alongside contemporary somatic psychology. Her work sits at the rare intersection of contemplative practice, subtle body teachings, and lived experience — including decades of navigating chronic pain, which has shaped a particularly precise and compassionate understanding of what it means to actually inhabit a body. She has taught clinicians, practitioners, and teachers internationally and is recognized as one of the leading embodied mindfulness teachers working today.

The Container

Four monthly sessions via Zoom. Maximum eight participants. Dates: 2/27, 3/27, 4/3, 5/1. A new round will begin again in June.

Time + Day: Friday’s 10- 11:30 am PST

Recordings of the meditation practice will be posted on a password protected webpage

$700.00 for four months plus lifetime access to recordings

Payment through Zelle or Venmo, details when you sign up.

Being a skill-based class – there’ll be an emphasis on practicing whatever is offered, in between the monthly sessions. This way the next conversations we’ll have will be based in your direct experiences rather than a concept of them. We’ll build together depending on what is presented by the group.

Jill has been leading groups in outpatient Behavioral departments, and teaching clinicians since 2001.

She has been grandmothered to offer CEU’s at major meditation venues, due to her reputation and decades of practice. Her approach is practical and usable for clinicians and clients alike.

You’ll have a password protected web page with the audio recordings of each month’s practice, the discussions, resources and research to deepen your understanding of Dharma and its complimentary Embodied practices.

You may bring in case studies, or questions/concerns about applying the practices to certain conditions or clients.
