Join the Trauma Research Foundation on a transformative journey to bring the wisdom of The Body Keeps the Score to life in a free online webinar series.

Every Body is Welcome

The only way we can change the way we feel is by becoming aware of our inner experience and learning to befriend what’s going on inside.

— Bessel van der Kolk, MD

This series offers more than passive learning about the connection between the body and mind. It is an invitation to reconnect with parts of yourself that may have been set aside and embrace a more curious and connected you. We have created a safe space to move, to explore, to discover.

That space is Integrate: A Mind-Body Practice for Working Through Trauma. Each month, we host free virtual, mind-body sessions led by experts in trauma and movement.

Whether you support others working through trauma or focus on healing your own, there is something for everyone. Practice during the session then walk away with easy-to-implement tools for whenever you need them.

Come as you are. Stay to discover who you were meant to be.

Curious? Please join us in exploring, playing, and moving – to the extent that works for you. We look forward to seeing you here!

Reinhabiting our Bodies: Finding Center & Holding Contradictions

with Prentis Hemphill

Join us for an engaging experience that explores how personal and societal conditions shape our bodies over time.

Through guided practices, we will reconnect with our physical selves, sensations, and presence while embracing contradictions and staying connected to our center. This session is especially valuable in today’s polarized environment, promoting personal understanding.

Everyone is welcome to participate in this journey of self-discovery and connection.

The 2025 Season

What if...

What if you gave yourself permission to know what you know and feel what you feel?

What if acknowledging your body’s messages opened the door to recovery?

What if there is something new to discover here?

Neuroscience tells us that those “what-ifs” are opportunities for true and long-lasting healing. Evidence shows that acknowledging our inner experience is key to self-acceptance. When combined with movement, the connection between mind, body, and brain can open pathways to new ways of being.

Integrate will help you get in touch with feelings, sensations, and thinking to recover the disconnection trauma creates.
