The Embodied Workplace

Building a responsive workplace culture through agency and choice.

 

Transforming Organizational Culture by Centering
Belonging, Choice, and Empowerment

THE EMBODIED WORKPLACE aims to support organizations in creating ‘ways of being’ within the workplace that reflect values inherent to trauma-sensitivity.

These values form the pillars of our approach and include:

  • Shared Authentic Experience
  • Power and Power Sharing
  • Non-Coercion
  • Invitation Language
  • Choice Making
  • Interoception

This trauma-informed framework supports culturally responsive leadership and organizational change by integrating social justice principles through an embodied, whole-person approach.

A bottom-up approach to organizational change

Focusing on leadership, power dynamics, anti-oppression, culture change, relationships, and creating space for our bodies at work. 

This approach invites leaders at work to examine and explore their relationship to power, coercion, choice, and agency. These core pillars are grounded in decades of research, trauma care, and education within complex systems.
