Our Programs
Collective Being delivers somatic wellbeing programs in partnership with key community and health services. We offer 8-week pilot programs to new partner organisations, and aim to build enduring relationships that foster ‘deep’ as opposed to ‘wide’ impact for client groups, staff teams and services.
Our programs utilise a well-researched and considered evidence-base, integrating an action-research approach that enables our team to be responsive to the needs of each participant group.
Somatic Wellbeing Programs
Wellbeing is crucial across the life course. We work with children as young as 5 through to elders in their 80s, catering our programs to meet the unique needs of each age group and community.
→ Trauma-Sensitive Yoga Program
Our Trauma-Sensitive Yoga Program is specifically designed for complex and clinical settings. Informed by empirically-validated approaches to facilitation and drawing on six years of service delivery experience across hospital, mental health and survivor-oriented sectors, our facilitators are highly skilled at adapting programs to meet the needs of specific client groups.
→ Soma Play Children’s Program
Soma Play is a therapeutic somatic program that encourages creativity, play, movement and mindfulness – all skills that support children to be healthy, resilient and connected. This program is for children aged 5-12 years.
→ Team Wellbeing Programs
Our Team Wellbeing Programs are specifically designed for organisational staff or teams who work in complex or high-stress environments.
Informed by emerging research regarding stress relief and wellbeing, our Team Wellbeing sessions are designed to share somatic education and resources that support connection and resilience.
→ Move & Soothe Youth Program
Move & Soothe is a therapeutic groupwork program that supports young people aged 13 - 25 to explore strategies for self-regulation, stress-relief and social connection. Integrating somatics, mindfulness, movement and pyschoeducation, Move & Soothe is co-designed with young people to meet their wellbeing needs.
