Why make life your teacher?
Insight isn’t always enough. You may understand your patterns and still push through exhaustion, lose your boundaries, repeat the same relationship dynamics or wait for the right state before you act.
Life keeps meeting us through change, relationships, uncertainty, desire, conflict and limitation. We can spend enormous energy trying to control these experiences, or learn to meet them as information.
The difference lies in how much of yourself you can bring to what happens.
In Life as Teacher, you work with the foundations beneath your patterns and find out what your body and mind are asking for, so you can take part more fully in the life you’re already living.
You might want this if
- Making decisions leaves you exhausted.
- You start new habits, and they don’t stick.
- You understand your patterns and still repeat them.
- You feel cut off from your body and emotions.
- You’re trying to build the life you actually want, and you keep getting in your own way.
- You’re tired of trying to fix yourself.
Step into a more trustworthy relationship with yourself
Our six principles for meeting life as a teacher
Stay connected to yourself in hard times
Build enough inner steadiness to meet uncertainty without abandoning or forcing yourself.
Change what keeps repeating
Close the gap between knowing and doing by noticing the patterns behind your choices.
Find your own way
Learn to tell what’s right for you, and follow it.
Feel what’s alive in you
Notice your body, your desires and your energy, and let them inform what you do.
Move with your whole self
Put the energy tied up in inner conflict back to use, with more clarity and ease.
Build a life you want to live in
Bring more of yourself into your relationships, work and choices.
The approach
Start with what is already happening.
Bring the challenge you’re actually facing: the change you can’t quite make, the fatigue you override, the relationship where you lose yourself.
Short teachings and embodied, reflective and relational practices help you recognize the foundations beneath your experience, so you live the teachings and don’t only understand them. The course offers maps, not answers. Test everything against your own experience and adapt the practices to your life.
Seven chapters, each with video teachings, written material and practices:
- Unfolding
- Safety
- Agency
- Embodiment
- Wholeness
- Relationality
- Integration
Meet Marei & Navi
Navi Säregård
Bodyworker, somatic coach and Circling leader
Navi brings together embodied inquiry, martial arts, dance and relational practice. His work helps people listen more closely to their bodies and meet experience with more sensitivity, honesty and choice.
Marei Christensen
Integral psychotherapist, senior Circling leader and coach
Marei works with embodiment, nervous-system awareness and relationship, helping people understand their patterns, stay connected to themselves and take part more fully in their lives.
Life as Teacher brings together the teachings and practices we return to again and again, with clients and in our own lives. It grew from years of that work, our own paths of discovery, and practices including Circling, psychotherapy, coaching, martial arts, dance, meditation and embodiment.
Across these paths, we kept meeting the same foundations: safety, agency, embodiment, wholeness and relationship.
We bring different perspectives to one shared question: what helps us understand how we work, meet what gets in the way and create a life that is genuinely our own?

A taste of the practice
Finding peace and pleasure in our experience
Sit or lie down comfortably. Let your attention move through your body and notice whether you can find even the smallest trace of feeling good: peace, pleasure, safety or trust.
Stay with what is actually present. There’s no need to manufacture a state. If nothing feels pleasant, start with what is most neutral.
When you find something pleasant or supportive, let yourself receive it for a few breaths and notice its effect.
What changes when you let a little more goodness register?
