Sensory Groundwork

An immersive multisensory program.

Develop sensory intelligence and learn to trust your instincts through immersive, ceremonial research.

Experience the Wisdom of Your Senses

Scarlet Jaxen’s signature offering, Sensory Groundwork, is a 3-month in-person immersive designed for those who are ready to move beyond insight into integration. Through nine multi-sensory ceremonies, participants engage in a rigorous, intimate, and radically transformative process to explore instinct & intuition, release nervous system blocks, and establish embodied self-trust. 

You’ve followed the expert advice, gone to therapy, read the books, and learned the frameworks— but there’s still a gap between what you know and what you feel. Sensory Groundwork provides a ceremonial return to the wisdom of your body, so you can integrate what you know on a sensed level. 

Multisensory Ceremonies

Each ceremony in Sensory Groundwork is an immersive experience that activates a different aspect of your sensory intelligence. These are not performances or workshops— they are portals that guide you inward, using movement, sound, storytelling, and creative inquiry to reconnect you with your instincts, emotions, and inner wisdom.

Together, these nine ceremonies form a transformational arc that moves you from disconnection to embodiment, from hesitation to clarity, and from external seeking to internal leadership.

Who is this for?

Sensory Groundwork is for those who:

  • Have explored therapy, coaching, or self-development, and want deeper integration

  • Want to trust their instincts, feel more connected to their body, and develop discernment

What Makes This Program Different?

Unlike programs that provide information and share insight, Sensory Groundwork offers transformation through direct experience. This is not a course or a coaching program. It’s immersive, ceremonial research that awakens your body’s intelligence and guides you back to your internal authority.

Each ceremony activates a different aspect of sensory wisdom so that you’re not just learning about yourself— you’re experiencing who you are. Through sensory rich experiences, movement, creativity, embodied inquiry, and deep relating, participants gain the clarity, regulation, and discernment to lead from within.

This program isn’t traditional group therapy, but it’s deeply therapeutic. It’s designed to move you beyond thinking and into your sensory intelligence.

If you’ve read the books and done the work but still feel like something is missing, this is where the pieces come together.

Why this work, now?

We are living during an era of deep disconnection: from our bodies, our truth, and from each other. Dominant cultures have taught us to override our instincts, numb our sensations, and outsource answers. Sensory Groundwork is a response to this disconnection. It’s a pathway to reconnect you with that internal guidance system, so you can stop second-guessing and start leading with clarity.

If you’ve done the inner work and still feel like something’s missing, this could be the next step. During a time when the world feels so uncertain, cultivating sensory intelligence and internal leadership isn’t a luxury— it’s essential.

This is the time to return to your body, reclaim your senses, and reorient your life from within.

Our team consists of trained therapists who are experts in preparing brave space. Our application process helps ensure participant readiness and group cohesion.

  • It’s natural to feel nervous. This program is designed with container-building, structured support, and clear facilitation to help participants feel safe, seen, and well resourced. You’ll never be pushed beyond your capacity.

  • Tuition includes all nine ceremonial experiences, three immersive weekends with facilitation, structured integration sessions, group coaching, and the materials needed for creative exploration. Accommodations and meals are not included.

  • Healing is not a finish line. You don’t need to be fully regulated or “put-together” to participate— you just need to be resourced enough to access presence, be receptive, and hold space for others. This is a program for people in process, not perfection.

  • No. This program is open to everyone. If you feel resonance with this work and the values it’s grounded in, you are welcome here. This program is held within awareness of gendered socialization and the impacts of power and privilege that are distributed inequitably. You can expect conventional conceptions of gender and identity to be challenged in this program.

  • This is primarily a group experience, but there are opportunities for individual coaching support that are observed within community. If something arises that requires more support, our team will connect you with additional resources or referrals. We also provide the option to schedule a coaching appointment before and/or after the program to prepare and integrate your experience.

  • Because of the ceremonial arc of this program, full participation is strongly encouraged. Missing portions of this program will impact your experience significantly. If you foresee conflicts, please reach out before applying to explore whether this cohort is the right fit.

  • This program is offered once annually. While future cohorts are planned, we cannot guarantee the same format, pricing, or facilitator availability. If this work is calling to you now, we encourage you to apply.

  • While the weekends are the core of this experience, we also set up a 30min check-in with a partner once a week. In addition, we provide personal integration practices, including journal prompts, and somatic exercises. You can expect 1–2 hours per week, most of which is self-paced.
