ALIVE
Somatic Group Coaching Agreement
Program: ALIVE — 8-Week Somatic Journey Through The Embodied Self Method™
Facilitator: Veera Korjala
Program Dates: November 2026
By registering for ALIVE, you acknowledge and agree to the following:
1. Program Description
ALIVE is a 4-week small group coaching experience designed to support greater self-awareness, emotional expression, nervous system awareness, self-leadership and embodied living.
The program is based on The Embodied Self Method™, incorporating somatic practices, IFS-inspired coaching, nervous system education, reflective exercises, embodiment practices and group discussion.
The journey moves through three interconnected areas:
- CONNECT — developing awareness, inner connection and a deeper relationship with yourself and your body.
- EXPRESS — creating safe and authentic ways to recognize, communicate and express emotions, needs, boundaries and truth.
- EMBODY — integrating awareness and expression into everyday life through self-leadership, choice, boundaries and embodied action.
This program is educational and experiential in nature. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any mental health condition, medical condition or illness.
2. Coaching Scope
You understand and agree that:
- Coaching is not psychotherapy, counseling, psychiatric care or medical treatment.
- Veera Korjala is acting in the role of a somatic coach and group facilitator during this program.
- The practices offered are intended for education, self-exploration, awareness and personal growth.
- Participation is voluntary and you are responsible for your own physical, emotional and mental well-being throughout the experience.
- You remain responsible for determining whether a particular practice is appropriate for you.
- If you are currently receiving support from a licensed healthcare or mental health professional, you are encouraged to continue that care alongside this program.
If at any point you feel that additional therapeutic, medical or other professional support would be beneficial, you agree to seek appropriate professional assistance.
3. Group Participation & Confidentiality
ALIVE is intended to cultivate a supportive, respectful and compassionate group environment.
By participating, you agree to:
- Treat fellow participants with kindness, respect and compassion.
- Maintain the confidentiality of personal information, stories, experiences and reflections shared by other participants.
- Refrain from sharing another participant's identity, experiences or contributions outside of the group without their explicit permission.
- Participate in a manner that contributes to a respectful and inclusive environment.
- Honor that each participant has their own experience, pace, boundaries and level of willingness to share.
Confidentiality within the group is a shared participant responsibility. While reasonable care will be taken to create a confidential environment, the facilitator cannot guarantee that other participants will maintain confidentiality.
4. Attendance, Participation & Recordings
Live attendance and active participation are encouraged to receive the full benefit of the program. If you are unable to attend a live session, recordings will be made available. Recordings and program materials are provided for your personal use only and may not be:
