Offerings may include:

• Intuitive Awareness Classes

These first four classes are being offered free of charge as an opportunity to explore community connection, embodiment, intuitive awareness, and shared learning in a relaxed small-group environment.

The Exploration Series is designed to help shape future classes, workshops, and educational offerings while creating space for people to reconnect more deeply with themselves and others.

What are Intuitive Awareness Classes?

Intuitive Awareness Classes are experiential classes designed to help people reconnect with their body, nervous system, emotions, breath, posture, stress patterns, and non-verbal communication. These classes combine embodiment, nervous system awareness, chronic stress education, and relational understanding in a grounded and approachable way.

Who are these classes for?

These classes are for people experiencing chronic stress, nervous system overload, emotional exhaustion, chronic pain, tension patterns, burnout, anxiety, disconnection from their body, or those seeking deeper self-awareness and embodiment.

Do I need experience with meditation, energy work, or spirituality?

No experience is necessary. These classes are designed to be practical, grounded, and accessible for people from many different backgrounds. The focus is on awareness, nervous system connection, embodiment, and learning how the body adapts to stress and lived experiences.

How can emotional stress affect the body?

Emotional stress can influence breathing patterns, posture, muscle tension, nervous system regulation, sleep quality, pain sensitivity, digestion, and chronic compensation patterns within the body. Over time, unresolved stress and suppression can contribute to chronic tension and physical discomfort.

What is the Flow Differential Method™?

The Flow Differential Method™ is an approach developed through years of observing how the body compensates and adapts around restriction, stress, breathing dysfunction, emotional guarding, posture, and chronic overload patterns. The focus is often on identifying underlying restriction patterns rather than only treating the area of pain itself.

Can stress and emotional suppression contribute to chronic pain?

In many cases, yes. Chronic stress, nervous system overload, emotional suppression, shallow breathing, and protective movement patterns can all contribute to long-term tension and compensation patterns within the body.

Are these classes therapy or medical treatment?

No. These classes are educational and experiential in nature and are not intended to diagnose, treat, or replace medical or mental health care. They are designed to support awareness, embodiment, nervous system education, and self-connection.

Will there be classes specifically for massage therapists or wellness professionals?

Yes. Future classes may include practitioner education, case study discussions, compensation pattern analysis, bodywork concepts, and Flow Differential Method education for massage therapists and wellness professionals.

How long are the classes?

Most classes will range from approximately 90 minutes to 2 hours depending on the topic, group interaction, and experiential exercises included.

Where are the classes located?

Classes are hosted through Ben Johnston Intuitive Wisdom in North Liberty, Iowa, serving the Iowa City, Coralville, and surrounding areas.

How do I sign up for upcoming classes?

Upcoming class announcements, schedules, and pilot program information will be posted on the website and social media pages. Seating may be limited depending on the class format.
