The School of Embodied Enlightenment™ (SEE) offers education in Princeton, NJ, and online, rooted in the teachings of Contemporary Shaman and published author, Roberta Pughe. Based on her book, Body as Sanctuary for Soul, she teaches a practical skill-set for daily living to invite your soul HOME to live IN the container of your body. Roberta draws from the disciplines of Gestalt Theory/Therapy, S
hamanism and Kundalini Yoga. Each soul seeks embodiment – simultaneously traversing both earth and sky realms – so that it can unveil its mythical knowledge in practical ways to create a life of greater purpose and fulfillment of destiny. Once we learn how to access our very soul’s communication, “that primordial seed of memory” planted within becomes the inner intelligence of the soul, the True Nature of the Self. Upon being born, we all move through “the river of forgetfulness” until we realize that we can actually retrieve what we think we have forgotten. If we do not do this “work”, we may be caught in an unwanted past, trapped in the genetic history of our family of origin and our parents’ psychological dramas. In short, we don’t become truly free people, and we live and die unconsciously. Fortunately, there is a method to free ourselves, learning techniques of shamanic ecstasy that can free us from this unhealthy legacy and give us power over our own bodies and minds. We’ll learn how to recover parts of our soul, and lost parts of self, that have been lost to trauma and stress, and discover how befriending these abandoned parts of our soul, what Jung called the shadow, can restore our physical and emotional health. In a practical and easily accessible manner, Roberta Pughe teaches an embodied methodology rooted in Shamanism, Gestalt Theory/Therapy and Kundalini Yoga. These life-changing principles & teachings will move this “Embodied Enlightenment™” process along more quickly; offering specific skill-sets to help call the soul home to live integrated within the container of the body. There is a specific conceptual framework required to understand exactly what is going on and to learn how to nurture this in daily life. Once this is achieved, you will be able to access, through the path of direct revelation, the incredible powers and wisdom stored within. Roberta Pughe is a published author, Gestalt Psychotherapist (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist), Contemporary Shaman (named by Stanley Krippner, PhD) and KRI Certified Kundalini Yoga Teacher (Kundalini Research Institute). As the Clinical Director of The Center for Relationship, LLC, in Princeton, NJ, as well as the Founder of the School of Embodied Enlightenment™ (also in Princeton, NJ) Roberta helps bring people home in their bodies to their soul’s intelligence as “Primary Guide” so that their soul can practically inhabit the physical realm. She is also a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, practicing since 1980 and integrates a solid psychological theory in her spiritual practice methodologies. As a Faculty Trainer in the early 90’s with a NJ Gestalt Institute, Roberta facilitated open-seat groups rooted in body awareness, body intelligence and Gestalt Therapy/Theory. With a Masters Degree in Theological Studies, she found herself organically drawn to the integration of Shamanism in 1996 and received certification in Core Shamanism with Michael Harner. Her work is rooted in Soul Retrieval (answering back to Soul Loss) and expanded states of consciousness, utilizing the body as “laboratory”. In 2015, Roberta trained with Gurmukh in Kundalini Yoga, Level 1 and 2 (Vitality and Stress) in Rishikesh, India, and is now a Certified Kundalini Yoga Teacher with KRI (Kundalini Research Institute). She is now synthesizing these technologies/theories in an awareness practice she calls, “Embodied Enlightenment™”. Her belief is that this ancient technology (when practiced as a daily lifestyle) offers access to deep healing and unity of consciousness, both individually and communally, providing a pathway forward toward building “Soulful Communities” – domination free orders which support a socially just world for all.
