I’ve been in the incubator for several years now since I started Nepenthe Somatics. I’ve focused pretty exclusively on 1:1 Individual Somatic Healing work, deepening into the art of Somatic Experiencing and assisting and supporting trainings to help others learn SE. Throughout these years, my work with individuals has been a tremendous privilege, and yet my heart has been called to different forms of healing work.

Facilitating groups continues to call out to me as one of my greatest joys.

I’ve had extensive training in facilitating groups, and in the past several years I’ve been contracted out to work as a Crisis Counselor in Florida, offer training in Mindfulness-Based Mind Fitness Training (MMFT) to leading military psychologists and first responders in Ukraine, facilitate countless meditation retreats for teenagers all over the country, and facilitate and experience a variety of Men’s Work containers. I’m also a p community-building and group process portion of this incredible new program I’ll be a part of this fall, called the Contemplative Semester, a three-month immersion into Buddhist Wisdom, Meditation, Community, and Nature Connection for 18-25-year-olds.

All of these experiences continue to call me into a different style of working with people, sharing my gifts, and exploring the wild possibilities of a group field for individual and collective healing and awakening.

So I’m starting these free monthly calls as an opportunity for people to come and receive what it is they are ready to offer, and to hold a container that brings us all into a greater inquiry into this being human.

Additionally, I’m in the process of finishing my first book, Meditative Warriorship: A Path to Fearlessness in the 21st Century, and will be offering various practices and experiential group processes from the book.

I hope you’ll accept this offering, as it is my great joy to be on the welcoming end of the vast and beautiful terrain of a group.

In gratitude,

James Nepenthe

PS. If you’re interested in working with me individually, I have a new 1:1 offering available here, filled with new value that I’m excited to share.
