The Integral Energetics course explores the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual aspects of our energetic field.
WHAT IS INTEGRAL ENERGETICS, OR IE?
Integral Energetics is both a growing body of knowledge and a holistic therapy.
Integral Energetics is a course teaching the mysteries of the human energy field.
The more we learn about the invisible energy surrounding the human body, the more we understand its compelling power for healing and transformation, for others and for ourselves.
This course teaches IE as a holistic therapy integrating the nervous system and bringing coherence to the energetic field. It embraces the whole human.
In this course, we explore where science and spirituality link up, and consider the role of energetic bodywork in the context of modern health practices and beyond.
​
LIFE AS PROCESS
Knowledge of the whole human being, of your own field and energetic constitution and ways of ~ Exploring it. Knowing it. Inhabiting it. Experiencing it. Trusting it and learning who you really are.
Integral Energetics was founded in 2017 by chiropractors Dr Fred Swann
and Dr John Hare.
It emerged from decades of working with the body. It brings together scientific knowledge, psychology, trauma work, shadow integration, and mystery wisdom provide a comprehensive understanding of the energetic field.
This is the course Fred and John wished existed when they began as practitioners - unifying these perspectives to guide people through healing and transformation.
“Even as young graduates starting out, both Fred and I yearned for a path that unified scientific knowledge with mystery wisdom to guide people through healing and transformation. This led us on journeys to all sorts of interesting places! We studied mainstream science and learned from fascinating teachers in complementary healing practices. We deepened our understanding of mystery traditions. We refined our techniques. And then, together, we developed Integral Energetics to teach others what we know about the mysteries of the human energy field.” Dr John Hare.

IE Course Structure
Training begins with a foundation program of three week-long modules:
1. Presence
2. Attunement
3. Resonance
​
In each module we explore the layers of the field. We use meditations, challenges, and content to experience the energy and consciousness of each depth of the field.
Together, these three modules build the foundation of trust needed to work with others.
We call this PART – Presence, Attunement, Resonance, Trust.
​
Following the foundation modules, there are opportunities for ongoing learning with stand-alone seminars, such as Psych-K (psychological kinesiology) and organ work.
​

​
​
Our Foundation Module is a 7 day immersive training, that will run from
22nd of Feb - 28th of Feb 2025
In Our Foundation Module we learn to become present to our own energetic field and its currents, each with its own information and intelligence. This deepens our awareness of the field as a resource for self-knowledge, resilience and well-being.
Note: Our workshops are held in Melbourne, Australia
FOUNDATION MODULE - $6,600 ( inc GST)
Early bird price - $5,500 ( inc GST) until 30th of October 2024
Our Foundation program of 3 week-long modules starts with:
Presence: Module 1
NEXT ROUND STARTS, FEBRUARY 2025
Attunement: Module 2
NEXT ROUND STARTS, JUNE 2025
Our Attunement Module is a 7 day immersive training.
​
In Module 2 we will attune ourselves to what’s going on in our field, find where it’s under or over-stimulated and differentiate between areas of ease and tension.
We explore shadow work, using Jungian and Integral lenses. We learn about the 12 Stages of Healing and Interpersonal Neurobiology. We see how presence and coherence in the field show up as integration in the nervous system.
​
Students will get hands-on experience, discovering how different depths in the field are reflected in the physical body.
To work with others, we must first become coherent ourselves.
​
​
MODULE TWO - $6,600 ( inc GST)
Resonance: Module 3
NEXT ROUND STARTS, 2025
Our Resonance Module is a 7 day immersive training.
​
In Module 3 we learn to pitch your consciousness to resonate with another. Resonance promotes coherence in the field and integration in the body.
When the practitioner is present, attuned and resonant, there is coherence -- and more access to your own critical, imaginative, creative and intuitive faculties.
This coherence creates safety for the client. The information flow deepens.
During the hands-on section we learn how develop two waves in the body.
-
the breath wave, which reflects safety and stability
-
the coherence wave, which reorganizes underlying patterns
These waves work together to create integration.
We also explore western and eastern knowledge of consciousness.
MODULE THREE - $6,600 ( inc GST)
​
​
Trust
Once we have completed the three modules we can move beyond technique and into artistry. We offer post-graduate ongoing training to expand and develop your practitionership.

“ We find the soul, not by turning away from the body, but by embracing it in a way that spiritualises the body; and we find the sacred not by turning away from the world but by embracing it, in a move that sanctifies matter."
~ Iain McGilchrist

I'm already a coach or practitioner of some kind, can I still join & weave this work with my own?Yes! Around half of our participants have some kind of previous experience, modality training or skill (some examples are doctors, psychotherapists & bodyworkers) but feel they are missing a ‘key piece’ to structure & deepen the work they are offering. Every participant in the practitioner stream can learn our teachings, then use to suit your current practice or expand it. We encourage you to take Integral Energetics and weave it together with your other skills & tools to offer the work in a way that feels aligned for you.
