”In our willingness to come back down into our bodies, in our willingness to feel the feelings that we’ve spent our whole life running away from – we reconnect with the felt sense of our own Being! We return back Home.”

Chris West & Alex Watson – Back to The Body Week 1–3–4–5

Back to The Body is a multi-week experiential immersion designed to reawaken the intelligence of your physical form, dissolve patterns of disconnection, and rekindle your innate capacity for embodied presence, pleasure, and awareness. Curated by Chris West and Alex Watson, this transformative program guides you through a progressive somatic exploration rooted in body-led healing and neuro-emotional integration.

This isn’t a theoretical course—it’s a visceral experience. Through carefully designed weekly modules (Weeks 1, 3, 4, and 5), you’ll move through layers of sensation, emotional release, and inner clarity, reconnecting not just with your body—but with the wisdom and wholeness it holds.

If you’ve felt estranged from your physical self, emotionally stuck, or out of alignment with your deeper truth, Back to The Body offers a structured, yet deeply intuitive path back to coherence.

What You’ll Discover in This Multi-Week Journey

Each week builds upon the last, offering a rhythm of inquiry, activation, and embodied integration. You’ll cultivate practices that restore your nervous system’s natural intelligence, while accessing new states of grounded clarity and sensual aliveness.

Weekly Pathways and Core Themes

Week 1 – Grounding & Somatic Reconnection
Lay the foundation with body-based practices that foster safety, presence, and awareness. Establish a felt sense of self through guided explorations of breath, micro-movement, and inner orientation.

Week 3 – Emotional Fluidity & Energetic Flow
Release stored tension and long-held emotional patterns by learning how to track sensation, metabolize feelings somatically, and access your body’s own rhythm of healing.

Week 4 – Conscious Touch & Boundaries
Develop a refined relationship with sensation, contact, and consent. This week explores relational embodiment, teaching you to sense and express boundaries through subtle cues, presence, and embodied language.

Week 5 – Integration, Expression & Embodied Identity
Bring together the full arc of the experience by stepping into your expressive, embodied self. Engage with movement, breath, and voice to anchor your newfound alignment into daily life.

These aren’t just exercises—they are gateways to embodied insight, offered with care, depth, and respect for your pace.
