Derek’s Bio: For over three decades, Derek has dedicated his life to the study of physical culture and philosophy. This pursuit has led him all over the world including time living in China and South East Asia, studying with traditional masters of martial, movement and healing arts.
Derek always sought to extract the essence of the traditions while connecting the common elements. Despite the uniqueness of each art and human form, there is a commonality to being in a body and so themes emerge. He has made it his life’s work, to investigate and understand these themes and share them with others in a paradigm of traditional wisdom through embodied practice.

WHAT WE DISCUSS:
“The body is the shoreline of the soul.” – Derek Notman
- There is a need for discernment and discrimination.
- We are living in a world that is in upheaval and change.
- People don’t usually make significant changes in their life until they are forced to.
- We have to be more diligent about finding time to unplug.
- It’s all about stillness and silence. We need to undergo a process of remembering to let go and not chase the narrative.
- Derek’s work is centered around balancing mind, body and spirit. He supports people in learning to go inward.
- Learn to recognize the narrative and story that makes us comfortable in our bodies. Learn to promote a softening of one’s entire being.
- Listening, sensing, and let go so we can come into healing and silence – that is where healing happens.
- How to quiet the ego.
- Be in nature, journal, meditate.
- Jin Shin Jyutsu – energetic healing that is similar to acupuncture that comes from Japan. It promotes circulation and the movement of energy in the body.
