Peter Levine guiding practitioner, @jameelahcreates through boundary work after talking through developmental trauma. This session had a lasting effect.
In Jameelah’s words:
I had the pleasure of being coached by Peter Levine a few times as I walked through my fear of setting boundaries.
Ironically, the practice of softening into what my needs are - listening inside, connecting to truth - allowed me to set boundaries more authentically.
🍃Not from a place of force, like a wall … but from a place of honor & honesty.
🪬When I surrender to what is - the boundary becomes clear.
I learned I needed to become gentler with myself to define my boundaries with others.
After this session, I started practicing the Pranidhana Mudra, which is a gesture of surrender/devotion. And cultivates deep awareness.
Experience shifts like this into the softness of somatics, in Costa Rica Dec 11-18th with the Yes! to Life Retreat - supported by @JameelahCreates ✨ LIVE IN-PERSON RETREAT with Dr. Saida Désilets, Aaron Michael & Barbara Collier.
Comment YES to be sent a special link and offer.
We can be guided with great support from therapists, mentors, etc, but it is when we learn how to show up for ourselves that lasting change occurs.
How to practice this mudra:
🪬Hand Position: Form apana mudra with both hands by bringing the tips of your thumbs to the tips of your middle and ring fingers. Extend the index and little fingers. Bring the tips of the index and little fingers of both hands together.
🪬 Posture: Sit in sukhasana (easy pose) or in a chair with feet flat on the ground. Hold the mudra near your navel or rest it in your lap.
🪬 Breathing Technique: Inhale deeply through the nose, focusing on your intention of surrender. Exhale slowly.
🪬Duration: Practice Pranidhana mudra for 5-10 minutes during meditation, focusing on relaxation and surrender.

*Early Bird Special on Now for Master Level SE Class*
Some clients don’t respond the way we expect.
Not because the work isn’t effective—
but because their system is organized around something deeper:
▪ A surgical event where awareness remained
▪ A near-death experience that never fully integrated
▪ A nervous system still suspended in shock
These are not standard trauma patterns.
The Eye of the Needle I & II Master Class with Joshua Sylvae is designed specifically for this terrain.
Location: San Diego, CA
Part I: August 2026
Part II: November 2026
Inside this two-part series:
• Work directly with non-ordinary states of consciousness
• Develop refined autonomic tracking + perceptual skills
• Learn to “meet” clients where verbal memory cannot reach
• Build capacity for high-complexity clinical cases
This is where SE moves beyond technique into deep clinical artistry and precision.
This valuable in-person continued education is available to SEPs and SEI Students who have taken Advanced I and above.
Register for the Early Bird special.

Recreating Songlines from Trauma Trails - Some highlight moments from yesterday.
We opened on Bundjalung Country. Stories were shared. The work began in the body, not just the mind.
From yarning circles to movement, there was space to listen, reflect, and sit with what came up.
Now we move into day two.
A full day ahead.
Deeper into feeling, processing, and what it means to carry and release.
More time on Country. More time in the work.
Thank you to the Elders, faculty, and everyone in the room holding this together.
We thank-you deeply,
We Al Li Team in partnership with Restoring Resilience

Many clients walk in holding something they cannot explain.
A dream that stays.
An image that repeats.
A feeling that will not shift.
Dr. Levine has spent over five decades studying these moments.
He teaches that trauma is not the event.
It is what stays held in the body.
And dreams are often where that shows up.
This four-day masterclass focuses on how to work with that.
Not just interpretation
But tracking sensation, image, and meaning at the same time
And knowing what to do with it in practice
Day 4 opens up further.
The Live Case Consult Day is available to the public - Watch real sessions unfold, see how the work is applied in real time, understand the thinking behind each intervention
Join the full 4-day masterclass (in-person or online) or step into Day 4 live (open to all). #PeterLevine
Dr Levine has landed in Australia and is coming to Melbourne for the very first (and last) time in his life.

Now it’s here, and it’s happening over the next week.

This is not theory. It’s direct access to the work and how it’s applied. If you’ve been circling it, don’t sit on it now.
