Embodied Emotional Wisdom

Where Self Awareness Meets Measurable Impact

In today’s fast-paced world—whether you’re leading a team, navigating a demanding role, or simply seeking to show up more fully—the ability to communicate with empathy, lead with clarity, and respond to stress with intention is what sets thriving individuals and organizations apart.

At Rare Method™, we blend the science-backed framework of Emotional Intelligence (EQ-i 2.0®) with the deeply embodied principles of Somatic Experiencing®, offering individuals, leaders, and teams the opportunity to not just understand emotional intelligence—but to feel it, live it, and lead with it.

Why It Matters

Emotions don’t begin in the mind—they begin in the body.
Before we speak, decide, or lead, our nervous system has already assessed the moment: safe or stressful, open or guarded, clear or overwhelmed.

By helping individuals attune to those subtle cues and build capacity for regulation and resilience, we create more self-aware, emotionally agile, and grounded humans—whether they're leading themselves or others.

This inner sense of safety lays the groundwork for something every team and leader needs today: psychological safety.

Lunch presents another vibrant feast. Sometimes we dine together, fostering a sense of community, while other times it's a casual, grab-and-go affair, perfect for spontaneous adventures.
As the late afternoon or early evening arrives, we reconvene for sessions that delve into self-discovery and facilitated conversation. These gatherings might include a second mat practice or special group experiences, tailored to the unique needs and energy of the group.
Dinner is a festive, communal affair where we share stories, laughter, and delicious food, celebrating the day’s experiences.
Finally, the day winds down with a serene night of rest. Climb into your comfortable bed, ready for a peaceful slumber.
