Online: Embodiment Training, & Moving Meditation
What is somatic skills training?
Personal qualities like patience and persistence are partially in our makeup but they’re also partially in our control. You can learn to be more patient, and if you want that new quality to stick you’ll use embodiment.
This training uses the body which means you’ll be moving some part like your arm or head. Sometimes it’s a small gesture with your hand, sometimes a look, a curve in your spine, or a change in your shoulders. Sometimes we’ll use a whole-body movement, but nothing athletic or strenuous, and it’s not yoga or a gym class.
Instead of developing your muscles we’re working on developing your personality, changing your mood, and instilling habits. If there are places you’d like to improve, this is how. No matter where you start, you can learn somatic skills like increasing your focus, finding your resilience, calming yourself down or revving yourself up.

In Person: nature immersion and micro-retreats in rural NSW
Connect with nature and with yourself
A major part of my work is helping you remember that you are part of nature. Leading people into the wilderness in a safe way helps them connect with their own wild nature, and that is embodiment on a deep ancient level.
This private road leads to Dark Arm Valley, an unspoiled spot where you can be entirely immersed in nature. Take a bush walk, have a dip in the creek, journal, paint, or dance. We will take you there, supply everything you’ll need for exploring and relaxing, bring you snacks and drinks, and whisk you back to the cozy cottage afterwards.
After just a couple hours disconnected from electronics and news and human noises, your body will settle, your mind will settle, and you may find yourself automatically grinning. Take a retreat here with me and experience how powerful the immersion can be.
Embodiment workshops
Coaching is helping yourself get done the things you want to do, and that’s why embodiment coaching is so powerful. Bring your mind and body together with sessions of talking and moving with me.
In each session you’ll build a necessary skill, such as patience or persistence, using embodiment tools, and you’ll also learn how to continue improving on your own. Every bit of it is tailored to you: your situation, your energy that day, your goal, your body.
What if you could be 1% more patient, or have a reservoir of patience to call upon when you need it? Experience the power of embodiment coaching.
Whatever quality you need more of, there is a way to use embodiment … not to force that quality on to you, but to find where it already exists in your personality, to amplify it and simmer in the feeling of it, and then to bring that quality out in yourself when you need it.
Patience? Resilience? Focus?
No matter where you start you can be 1% more, and more and more. Don’t take my word for it — give it a try with these three videos.
In the first video, you’ll learn what embodiment is, and how it might help you do the things you want to do. The second video is an excerpt from a workshop about building business visibility.

Hi, I’m Mags Sheridan
For fifteen years I’ve been dedicated to the idea of you making friends with your body and hearing its wisdom. As a massage therapist, chiropractor, recovery mentor, and dance teacher, I learned the incredible power of the communication between and union of mind and body. Now all my trainings in anatomy, movement, emotion, expression, and personal development come together into the WISE BODY embodiment exploration.
When you make friends with your body again; you can make aligned decisions easily all day long, and those decisions determine who you are. Learning to embody your values, the parts of yourself, and your desired personality means you truly can create a new experience for yourself. You can learn calm and focus and patience and resilience, even if you don’t think you have them at all now. You can have an emotional reaction that doesn’t derail you. You can learn to listen to your body even if you’re disconnected or in pain.
Most offerings are available both online and at my new venue. Find out how to join me there at the Putty retreats page.
