Bienvenu.e dans Art of Nourishment
A six-month embodied passage through menopause and beyond
Ceci un espace pour ralentir.
Je t’invite à laisser ton corps lire avant ton mental.
Laisse ton cœur, ton ventre, ton centre -
la partie de toi qui porte ton autorité intérieure -
celle qui ressent, reconnaît et sait -
laisser cette partie décider.
La vérité ne vit pas dans les stratégies ni dans les instructions.
Elle ne vit pas dans le mental, mais dans le corps.
Non pas la vérité dictée par le conditionnement, le contrôle ou le besoin de l’ego de gérer ou réparer -
mais ta propre vérité,
celle que ton âme te communique à travers les sensations, le rythme et l'élan.
Le corps abrite l’âme,
sa sagesse est censée être notre autorité la plus profonde -
notre boussole intérieure.
Ceci est mon espace.
Et si tu t'y sens bien, il pourrait aussi être le tien.
Prends ton temps.
Reste avec ce qui est vrai pour toi.
Le reste se révélera.
Ce qu’est Art of Nourishment
For me, the womb is more than an anatomical space. She is a foundation. A place of sensation, sexuality, creativity, intuition, power and knowing. A place through which we can develop an extraordinarily intimate relationship with ourselves. And yet, for generations, so many of us have been taught to disconnect from it. We have learned not to know our anatomy. To override sensation. To mistrust our bodies. To carry shame around our sexuality. To endure discomfort silently. To look outside ourselves for answers before listening within. Kookoon’ is a call back to the body. A multidimensional, holistic approach that invites us to know our bodies, listen differently, reclaim what has been silenced or shamed, and reconnect with the Kookoon’ as a foundation and source of our own power, wisdom and sovereignty. Kookoon’ Famn Sajès is one passage within that larger body of work. It is devoted to one of the most powerful transitions in a woman’s life: menopause.
Why Kookoon Fanm Sajès
Cet espace est pour celles et ceux qui ressentent un oui dans leur corps.
Pour celles et ceux qui sont prêts à ralentir suffisamment pour écouter les sensations, les rythmes, ce qui vit sous les habitudes et les envies.
Ce travail demande certaines capacités -
non pas parce que quelqu’un serait “meilleur”,
mais parce que ce type d’exploration ne peut ni être accéléré ni délégué.
Cet espace est pour toi si tu :
• pratiques - ou es prêt.e à pratiquer - l’honnêteté envers toi-même
• sais recevoir plutôt que demander
• choisis d’écouter ton corps au lieu de le dépasser
• prends la responsabilité de ton rythme et de ton processus
• peux rester curieux.se sans chercher des réponses immédiates
• comprends que la transformation naît de la présence, non de la pression
Tu n’as pas besoin d’être disciplinée.
Tu n’as pas besoin de savoir où cela va te mener.
Je t'invite simplement à rester avec toi-même,
et à t’engager pleinement dans ton propre processus.
And while everyone around you may be trying to reassure you.
"You’re still young. It’s normal. Don’t worry about it."
Something inside you knows:
Something is changing.
Profoundly.
There can be fear. Grief. Anger. Confusion.
A need to retreat when your life gives you very little room to retreat.
Questions about ageing.
Questions about everything you thought you would have done by now.
Questions about who you are becoming.
Sometimes simply: What the fuck is going on?
In Kookoon’ Famn Sajès, we are not interested in either pathologising menopause or romanticising it.
What we experience can be influenced by hormones, our nervous system, our organs, nourishment, stress, the way we live, the way we see ourselves, our relationship with ageing, what we have inherited, what we resist and the ways we may have learned to live out of alignment with ourselves.
Menopause is not simply a collection of symptoms to eliminate.
It is a passage.
The winter of our menstrual life.
And you do not have to cross it alone, uninformed or disconnected from yourself.
My wish is that you leave more able to hear yourself, trust yourself and stand in your own relationship with your body.
Pour qui est cet espace
Art of Nourishment se déroule sur deux semaines. Et ce ne sont pas simplement deux semaines. Ces deux semaines sont un seuil - une porte d’entrée vers une autre relation à ton corps, à la nourriture et à l’écoute.
Ce qui s’ouvre ici n’est pas destiné à être “terminé”.
C’est destiné à s’enraciner.
Le parcours suit un protocole doux et cohérent, inspiré des principes de la Philosophie des 5 Éléments (issue de la médecine chinoise) qui comprend la digestion comme un processus global impliquant le rythme, les émotions et la régulation du système nerveux.
Le travail est expérientiel et incarné.
Tu es invité.e dans des pratiques qui t’aident à :
• ralentir et revenir dans le corps
• écouter sous les habitudes et les envies
• exprimer et relâcher ce qui a été retenu
• sentir ce qui demande réellement à être nourri
Il s’agit de restaurer le dialogue.
We look at the whole woman
hormones · organs · nervous system · blood ·fascia · lymph ·
nourishment · sexuality · desire · emotions · culture · shame ·
The Kookoon’ Approach
UNDERSTAND
Learn what is actually happening in your body: anatomically, hormonally and physiologically.
EXPERIENCE
Move beyond information alone and explore
through the body.
LISTEN
Develop a deeper relationship with sensation, symptoms, emotions, rhythms and the language of your body.
NOURISH
Explore food, plants, hydration, rest, touch, movement and the conditions that support your changing body.
RECLAIM
Reconnect with what has been silenced or shamed and deepen your relationship with your wisdom, agency, freedom, sexuality, essence and life force.
Over six months, we move through six interconnected territories.
Each brings together knowledge, embodied experience, conversation and practices you can gradually make your own.
04 - Hormones, Organs & Elemental Support
Alongside specialist knowledge, we explore the organs, nervous system and Five Elements -developing ways of supporting the changing body rather than constantly fighting against it.
05 - Sensuality, Desire
& Life Force
Sexuality beyond performance.
Desire. Pleasure. Changing libido. Sensuality. Shame. Sexual energy. Life force.
This is a gentle invitation back into relationship with aliveness and pleasure, whatever your starting point may be.
03 - Fluids, Fascia & Flow
We explore the fluid systems that nourish and support the Kookoon’ and begin noticing where the body may be asking for more movement, softness, hydration, circulation or space.
06 - Transmission & Becoming
We close by turning towards lineage, legacy, integration and the Famn Sajès you are becoming.
Ce qu’est Art of Nourishment
Kookoon’ Famn Sajès is created and held by Sophie Acomat, somatic and elemental practitioner, facilitator, teacher and learning designer.
My work brings together somatic exploration, the Five Elements of Chinese medicine, emotional work, unshaming and embodied education.
Kookoon’ grew from my desire to create spaces where women can understand their bodies not only through information, but through direct relationship with them — learning to listen differently, question what we have inherited, reconnect with our womb and develop our own ways of nourishing and responding to ourselves.
Throughout the six months, I will also be joined by invited practitioners and specialists bringing expertise in areas including hormones and women’s health, Tantra and sexual energy, Chinese medicine, embodied sexuality, plants and nourishment.
