Origins

Source Embodiment® was born through my pursuit of healing deep personal and ancestral traumas and my desire to ground profound spiritual openings into the fabric of my everyday life. In 2008, when my journey began, I saw that humanity was entering a chapter of unprecedented chaos, driven by our struggle to metabolize the pain of our past. The path forward was narrow but clear: through devotion to healing the mind–body connection in direct relation to the Earth, we may one day realize that we are Earth, waking up to itself.

My path carried me through countless ceremonies, retreats, somatic psychology, meditation, non-duality, and more. Each opened glimpses of truth, yet without integration, the insights dissolved, leaving me and others swinging between inspiration and exhaustion. I had enough success with somatic integration to know it was the way, but something was missing. That missing piece came through my initiation into Kundalini Activation in 2019: a direct transmission of life force that provided the catalytic fuel to unify everything I had been building, infusing it with an undeniable living current of Source energy.

Source Embodiment grew out of this union: a framework that combines energy activations with somatic integration. What began as a personal necessity has become a school and training pathway designed not to create dependence on any teacher, but to return each person to their own soul’s connection with Source. In a world unraveling, my aim remains the same: to live aligned with life’s only constant and the truth of what we are - change.”

Our philosophy

Awakening does not come through insight alone. It is lived, over time, through the body and in relationship with others and the world.

Source Embodiment grounds spiritual openings through embodied integration, honoring life force as sacred and transforming shadow into fuel for growth, trust, and agency. We believe in cultivating spiritual sovereignty by recognizing the guru within, while also fostering interdependence through community, council, and service.The philosophy of Source Embodiment is simple: awakening does not come through insight alone. It is lived, over time, through the body and in relationship to others and the world.

Our work grounds spiritual openings through embodied integration, honoring life force as sacred, and transforming shadow into fuel for cultivating growth, trust and agency. We cultivate spiritual sovereignty by recognizing the guru within, while fostering interdependence through community, council, and service.

Rooted in non-duality, this work is a living transmission that evolves through direct experience, rather than dogma or doctrine. With agency, play, and devotion as companions, Source Embodiment unites body, soul, and community in alignment with Source so that we can meet the challenges of our time with coherence, creativity, and joy.

Our Values

  • We put integration first by structuring our offerings to anchor awakening across all dimensions of embodiment. Our work goes beyond peak experience to weave the non-conceptual, felt sense of Source through the nervous system, into the flesh, and into every area of your life. Whether you're walking or talking, exploring your shadow or expressing your full potential, spiritual practice should support you in accessing Source wherever you go, no matter what.

  • We hold lifeforce as sacred. Whether it’s in a single loving pulse, ancestral grief within a family system, or our collective creative fire for a free and just world, every current carries cosmic intelligence. Wherever it has been shut down—whether in the body, the lineage, or the culture—we work to help aliveness flow freely. When we yield to what wants to live, a portal of creation opens, aligning us with Source, clarifying our soul's purpose, and revealing the universal power already coursing within.

  • Within our darkness lie vast reserves of karmic and emotional fossil fuels, dense with our stories and the history of our ancestors, waiting to be ignited into vitality and creative energy. Fear, shame, guilt, rage, and grief aren’t obstacles along the way. They are the way. When embraced with loving presence, these energies spark joyful transmutation and unlock the gifts they’ve been guarding all along. Here we learn to trust ourselves, and to become more trustworthy both within our relationships and as a community. The more we relate to our blind spots, the safer we become for ourselves and for each other.

  • A direct, unmitigated connection to Source is your birthright. By cultivating our unique Soul’s connection to Source, we access our purpose and authenticity and foster a community of visionaries and leaders.

  • It’s in relationship we know who we are as individuals, and yet the sum is greater than the parts. By recognizing and engaging the many sources of support, we foster co-creative and generative fields that feedback into the ecosystems and communities that sustain us. All enduring lineages are based in council. For an organism to thrive it must be in communication with itself. To ensure continued growth and integrity we rely on a governing body to ensure proper checks and balances for the health of the entire system.

  • Source Embodiment goes beyond self-development. With our own cup full, we can fill others’. By fueling our Soul’s purpose, we become the living embodiment of ource so we can Source others through our unique gifts. The more empowered we become, the more we serve to empower and liberate the life force of the people, as well as the Earth that feeds us. It’s part of a collective evolutionary process that honors Earth, ancestors, future generations, and the unseen forces that shape our world. It is a prayer and an offering in service to life.

  • Agency is the foundation of embodied empowerment, both in our own bodies and in community. Consent, safety, and radical self-responsibility ground this work. We uphold clear energetic boundaries, honor full consent, and cultivate relational integrity. Honest, generative feedback is welcomed. Whether participant or leader, we each take ownership of our power, privilege, projections, and impact on one another.

  • At the heart of this work is the remembrance that we are all one. Each person has a place and brings value in service to the evolution of consciousness. As much as it strengthens the whole, we make room, wherever available and appropriate, for a diversity of experiences, perspectives, and needs.

  • Source Embodiment is a living field. It evolves through direct experience rather than dogma. The field shapes the facilitator as much as the facilitator shapes the field. We remain humble students, attuned to emergence, honoring the mystery at the heart of transformation.


  • Play and pleasure are essential to life and learning. They open space for curiosity, creativity, and connection. From limitation to liberation, they generate the wiggle within stuckness, the subtle opening that allows for movement and change. Play and pleasure help keep us honest and shift us from effort to flow, from striving to presence. Learning to laugh with our shadow softens our attachments and opens us to what we truly are. A path that is both effective and joyful is one worth returning to.

the journey

Source Embodiment® is a living ecosystem you can enter through many doors. Some begin with an Activation, others through the Source Embodiment Core Practice or Emotional Flow Practices. Each entry point offers both a direct experience and a practical pathway into a deeper relationship with Source.

  • Source Activations: A direct transmission of life force that awakens the Source already alive within you. Students describe bliss, spontaneous movement, or deep peace, often followed by the surfacing of what is ready for integration. The intention is simple: open safely, remember your connection, and trust what wants to move. Online and in person.

    Pre-Recorded Online Trainings

  • SE Core Practice: A course in a one-of-a-kind meditation that teaches you how to digest the transformative energy of any peak experience and allow it to nourish true growth over time. By learning how to self-sourcing your connection to the nourishing forces of nature, this practice stabilizes awakening in the body and nervous system so you can return to Source wherever you are.

  • Emotional Flow: Learn how to let your emotions work for you rather than against you with this trauma-informed practice that shows how to alchemize fear, grief, anger, or shame into vitality and clarity, while stabilizing joy and creative energy to cultivate resilience in daily life no matter what.

  • Somatic Integration Training: A course that deepens embodiment through a developmental lens, rewiring old patterns and activating creative agency. Especially relevant for anyone with big transformative or plant medicine experiences they seek to ground.

    Live Initiations

  • One or Two-Day Intensives: Immersive retreats that weave multiple activations, practice, and integration in community to create a cumulative, exponential effect. Online and in person.

  • Facilitator Training: For those called to serve, a pathway that weaves energy transmission with shadow work and soul essence activation, preparing facilitators to hold Source with integrity, accountability, and through their own authentic channel. This is a one week in person training, followed by 5 months online.

Through each doorway, the invitation is the same: integration. This work is not about conceptual models or chasing peak states, but about embodying Source as a felt reality, so that inner and outer transformation move as one.

What Past Students Are Saying

“The 2020 training was absolutely life-changing on so many levels I don't even know where to begin. As an end-of-life doula and Reiki master, this work continues to be a total game changer for me. It's really important that I maintain my connection to source and center for my clients who are struggling and this energy taught me how to do just that. As a result, I'm now supporting larger groups and my practice keeps growing... all the while I'm feeling more nourished and inspired than ever! Justin holds a very safe, loving, and professional container and I really appreciate the community and connections I've made from this process.”
