Integrate: 5 Senses & 5 Elements

2026 in-person workshops

Regulate the Nervous System: Sensory Integration & Elemental Theory

Integrate: 5 Senses & 5 Elements

2026 Workshops ~ Facilitated by Amanda B’Hymer, C-IAYT, E-RYT 500, YACEP

Tuition: $100 per workshop

This workshop series explores the relationship between the human system and the Mojave Desert ecosystem through somatic movement, breath, and sensory practices. Each session includes experiential tools designed to support grounded presence, emotional regulation, and empowered well-being.

Workshop Focus
Each month highlights one element of the desert environment—space, air, fire, water, earth, or a seasonal elemental combination represented by the doṣas. Participants are invited to sense, move, breathe, and inquire into how each element expresses itself both internally and in the surrounding ecological landscape.

How to Participate
The Sensory Integration & Elemental Theory workshops may be taken:

  • As stand-alone monthly workshops ~ choose the element that resonates most with your interest or current needs

~ OR ~

  • As a progressive series ~ building layer-by-layer awareness across all five elements and the full spectrum of human sensory experience

This series encourages the development of a personal daily practice rooted in movement, breath, observation, reflection, and creative expression.

Elise Kost

Energy Medicine Teacher, Joshua Tree CA

"For over 30 years, I have explored self-development, consciousness, and many spiritual paths to holistic awakening, liberation, and an embodied understanding of The Sacred. For several years, I taught shamanic energy medicine for one of the most renowned energy medicine schools in the world. It now takes excellence, precision and grace, to inspire my attention in another teacher. Amanda not only exudes these qualities, but her genuine generous kindness, deep wisdom, vast clarity, and thorough experiential comprehension of what she teaches, moves me farther into my own breath and humility, expanding my vision. It is a joyous honor walking beside her, as a colleague and friend on The Path, a student of this magnificent life which Amanda translates exquisitely, heartfully, and with great integrity."
