Conversations on Mothering Boys: Heal Our Bodies & Raise the Sons Our World Needs
When a Mother’s Depletion Becomes Her Son’s Dysregulation – and how Eastern Medicine and Somatics Can Help with Dr. Claudia Welch, Courtney LaCava and Mark Morey
In this conversation they’ll explore:
- The connection between a mother’s depletion and her son’s dysregulation, and why healing one addresses the other
- The role of the mother’s own body, nervous system, and vitality in shaping who her son is becoming
- How yin depletion and unpartnered yang in our culture shows up in boys as emotional disconnection, excess aggression, and vulnerability to harmful communities
- What Eastern medicine and Somatic wisdom offer that conventional parenting approaches miss
- What it looks like to mother from Source energy rather than stress energy, and how to begin
- The role of community-building, eldering and rites of passage for boys, and how this impacts individual and family development

The Body Remembers: A Somatic Workshop for Depleted, Devoted Women
Together we will work with:
- Somatic embodiment: guided nervous system practices drawn from somatic traditions
- Reflective writing and discussion: to understand our own nervous system responses, and uncover and heal deeply held beliefs and patterns that keep our vitality constrained
- Practical tools: simple somatic practices you can return to at home, long after the workshop ends
No prior somatic experience needed – just a willingness to come home to your own body, alongside other women doing the same.
