A PEEK INSIDE THE WORKSHOPS
Charlie’s workshops are known for their magic, depth of experience, and celebration of life. He weaves together theory, poetry, music, movement, practical applications, and a clear encounter with one’s core identity.
One of the hallmarks of the Seishindo Life Coaching and Personal Growth Workshops is that Charlie often works with participants sitting on large rubber physiotherapy balls. He uses the balls to set up a “fluid” environment. This helps make your bodily reactions and balance more palpable, and your numerous somatic shifts that lead to a robust relaxed state, more apparent.
Read this short article to learn some general principles about the fitness balls that we use so often in Seishindo work. Although we do not use the balls to teach yoga or other disciplines as described in this article, we do use the balls as a way to help people develop their intrinsic muscle system.
The moment is now.
We welcome you to enter an austere theater of life.
Please come and savor, in a supportive community,
the reintegration of your thoughts and feelings intoA heartfelt experience beyond words

“Charlie, I didn’t know what to think at first. I’ve seen you do some wonderful work in person, and I was hard put to understand how you could do anything vaguely similar over the phone. Now, after having had a few phone coaching sessions with you I am a believer. It is fascinating for me to begin to better understand how you slow things down and soothe people, whether in person, on the phone, or the middle of cyber space. I am looking forward to taking your teleclasses on somatic coaching. I really want to learn how to do what you do, so I can reach a larger coaching audience.
Frank Masters, NYC
“…For the first time in my life I feel love for myself. My somatic intelligence has done its work, and this is a very interesting process! Something has really changed. And after all of this, I find myself feeling healthy, without pills or any special supplements, for the first time in many years. …
Corry Brons, Belgium
“My experience of Charlie and the practices of Seishindo have been nothing short of profound. By tapping into my own somatic and emotional sources of wisdom, I can now come from an authentic place in bringing these practices to my executive coaching clients. I was awed at the life-changing insights participants in his workshops were able to experience with his gentle and humble guidance.”
Connie MacKinnon, Executive Coach & Management Consultant, Calgary, Canada
