In about a month I'm running Alchemising Anxiety — a 6-week live program where we work directly with the nervous system through somatic practice, meditation and inquiry.
This program is for anyone who feels stuck in chronic stress, relentless thinking, or that deep sense of not feeling safe in their own body — even after years of trying to heal.
"My mind was out of control. But since taking this course my whole world is different. I've never been so relaxed, so happy... and for no reason." — Lee
We meet live on Zoom each week building a sweet community for the 6-weeks.
If you feel called to join us, find the link below.
In case you haven't seen this yet… the doors to Back to the Body are open and we start on the 4th March!
This is a 10-week deep dive for anyone who really wants to commit to something meaningful, a rich container to do this inner work over an extended period of time.
Here’s what you’ll get: — 5 live mentorship calls with Chris exploring emotional healing, self-inquiry, inner peace and living from your true nature — Weekly Bioenergetics Practices to open up the body and release repression — Somatic Meditations for re-wiring the nervous system — Step-by-step enquiries to help you recognise and step into the freedom of Being
Making progress on this path is never about gaining more information for your mind - it is about coming into the direct experience of healing and awakening.
This course is about learning through experience.
Gently letting go of old blocks and conditioning, and finding more peace, strength and aliveness from the inside out.
Here's something spiritual people are often very bad at. Boundaries.
For a long time I was resting as awareness and using that as a reason not to listen to my body. My solar plexus was clearly saying yes or no and I was just overriding it.
"Awareness is fine, awareness is unaffected." Yet my body paid the price. I kept crossing my own boundaries again and again until it really fucking started to hurt.
And when that happens, presence can't drop in. It stays up in the head rather than something you actually live through the body.
What I've learned is that setting a boundary is usually harder than just going along with things, and that difficulty is the point. It asks you to face something real, speak from somewhere real, and in doing that something in you starts to open.
Our energetic system got closed down when we were kids, often simply through learning it wasn't safe to express ourselves authentically. We learnt to say yes when we meant no. To live the life our parents or society told us to live.
So reopening to our natural authentic spiritual nature doesn't always look spiritual. It looks like learning to say no. Speaking up for yourself. Choosing the life you actually want.
Embodied non-duality isn't just awareness recognising itself in the mind. It's awareness dropping all the way down, through an open throat, an open heart, a rooted belly, and living from there.
The doors to Back to the Body — our 10-week journey with Chris West and Alex Watson — are now open.
We start on the 4th March and this journey is for anyone who feels called to come home to themselves.
To feel more grounded. More alive. More at ease in their body and in their life.
Over the 10 weeks, we’ll gently guide you through a powerful process of transformation, working with the body as the doorway.
What you’ll experience
Each week includes:
Live embodiment sessions with Alex
Working with grounding, releasing emotional blocks, nervous system recovery, energy, self-esteem, empowerment and embodied spirituality.
Teaching and practices from Chris
Supporting emotional healing, self-inquiry, inner peace, resilience, and living from your true nature.
Weekly LIVE mentorship calls on Zoom
A space to ask questions, receive personal guidance, and feel supported by us and the group as you move through the journey.
This is not about learning information.
It’s about direct experience, gently returning to the body, releasing old blockages and conditionings, and allowing more clarity, strength and aliveness to emerge.
You’ll also receive
Somatic Meditations for Re-wiring the Nervous System
Reichian Breathwork Masterclass
We’ve created this journey to be simple, supportive and deeply transformative.
There’s nothing you need to figure out.
Just come with an open mind, an open heart, and a willingness to show up.
Over time, things begin to shift, naturally and from the inside out.
We’d love to have you with us.
With love, Chris & Alex and The School Of Embodiment Team.
We’re currently looking for an experienced operator to run the ground floor café at The School of Embodiment in Stroud.

Live Bioenergetics Session — Tonight 6pm (UK time)
I’ll be going live this evening to guide a bioenergetics and embodiment session. These classes are focused on releasing buried emotions from certain muscles groups and the fascia system.
We’ll be mainly working with the upper half of the body, particularly the shoulders, combined with some classic bow and arch postures. These practices help bring more awareness into the body and support the release of chronic holding patterns.
Many of us try to walk a path of embodiment but find it difficult at times due to the amount of tension stored in the shoulders, neck, and jaw. This session is designed to work directly with these areas.
No equipment needed. Please wear loose, comfortable clothing. Set aside 30–40 minutes of uninterrupted time.
New Upload: In this video Chris explores how anxiety can be a Gift if you want to awaken, before going into 3 different methods for USING anxiety in order to go through a spiritual transformation. Check it out.
