MOVEMENT MEDICINE APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAM
WITH DAVID MOONEY AND YASIA LEISERACH
2025
David’s background in Integrative Psychotherapy and Internal Family Systems, as well as strong long term engagement with Somatic Experiencing a is woven into the Apprenticeship program. He is deeply passionate about Shamanic pathways and has studied with the Lakota in Canada.
David has been working intensively with Ya’Acov and Susannah Darling Khan for 20 years. He teaches from the heart and integrates his 18 years of somatic psychotherapy and his passion for shamanic pathways including the Red Path into his work with groups extensively throughout Ireland, Europe and USA.
Yasia’s ongoing work and development of somatic voicework allows voice to be a key part of this program, and is adapted for the maps of Movement Medicine, as embodied voice is a part of expressing your souls greatest wish for your life and your offering in the world.
Yasia is a Somatic Voiceworker and Dance Facilitator. She uses these skills to empower others to reclaim and embody their voice – instinctive and intuitive voice as well as the literal. Yasia leads groups in Ireland, Europe and Asia
“We are delighted that David and Yasia have become the first people to run their own Movement Medicine Apprenticeship Programme with our support and mentorship right behind them. They are fully committed to serving the being and becoming of their students. They are actively willing and able to work with their own unconscious, and because of their commitment to integrity, they hold their considerable experience and power responsibly and safely.
We are confident that their apprenticeship will open the way for those who wish to travel with them to a deeper sense of self, and a deeper connection to to the world around them.
They offer a blend of exquisite gentleness and acceptance, alongside a capacity to hold space for the fierce self-inspection that a human being needs to become who they are in this world and give their gifts – the central intention of any Movement Medicine Apprenticeship.
We fully recommend their programme and we are delighted that through it, their apprentices can enter the wider community of Movement Medicine Apprentices, for whom we will continue to offer ‘apprentice only’ gatherings over the years to come”
