Steve Hoskinson

Introducing the Post-Trauma Era of Healing

Growing organically since 2010, Organic Intelligence® (OI™) has developed as a unique approach/understanding to healing—one dedicated to seeing and facilitating clients’ emergent healing empowerment. Not merely non-pathologizing, the OI Coach or therapist sees the client as essentially whole, with an insistent, inherent intelligence aiming to bring that wholeness into daily experience.

In this initial hour of the inaugural OI Summit, OI Founder Steve Hoskinson will walk us through the essence of Organic Intelligence. From its basis in biological attunement to its recognition that we are one another’s spiritual midwives, Steve will describe the essential steps of the OI healing approach, and cite the research.

You will gain insight into the methods of this mindful and positive psychology approach, and have time for experiential practice and Q&A as Steve sets the stage for upcoming conversations between five brilliant and truly remarkable people, the OI Faculty. Welcome to Organic Intelligence and this introduction to a new era of healing—the Post-Trauma era of Post-Trauma Growth.

Andi Dumas

OI and the Power of Attunement with Clients, Kids, Creative Collaborators, Canines and the Cosmos.

The understanding of attunement is foundational to the practice of Organic Intelligence. Attunement is both a skill that can be taught, and an art arising from inspiration and practice. This conversation will explore how attunement goes beyond empathy and unconditional positive regard to draw on presence, play and improv. We will also discuss how the forms of attunement change, based on the developmental stage and needs of the client-or other human-before us. Finally, we’ll talk about not only attunement with individual adult clients, but with family members (of all ages and species), groups, and our relationship with Life as a whole.

Andi Bio

Andi Dumas has spent a lifetime practicing attunement. After working for 25 years as a somatically trained psychotherapist in a busy private practice, she’s discovered OI in the last ten years, and never looked back. Her spiritual training began fifty years ago with a degree in religious studies, traversed earth-based rituals, yogic ashrams and Buddhist retreats, and landed her solidly in the present moment, as a practice leader for an international Buddhist community. This journey has been the perfect vantage point from which to explore decades of improv through movement, singing and storytelling. Her growing edge is teaming up with her husband to raise their third puppy, whose lively spirit and unstoppable prey drive provide constant opportunities to bow to the forces of nature, and invoke love and collaboration.

Rena K. Bauman

Overcome Hidden Shame with Organic Intelligence®—the Safest and Gentlest Approach for Life-Long Freedom

Behind every personal challenge lurks shame. For some, it’s chronic and debilitating. For others, it’s hidden and barely noticed, yet still running the show.

You may think that the way out is to release your trauma, sit in the sensations of what’s painful, or tirelessly try to change your thoughts. From an Organic Intelligence perspective, these approaches are unnecessarily difficult and painful. Fortunately, there is a more friendly way.

In this talk, Rena K. will help us understand the biological nature of shame, share how the OI approach uniquely melts shame, and provide OI informed practices that support friendliness towards yourself.

Rena K. Bio

Rena K. has been learning, practicing, and sharing Organic Intelligence® principles since 2017. As an OI™ Specialist, she coaches adults in her private practice and specializes in working with chronic debilitating shame in her Journey of You™ transformation programs, helping support the movement from shame to connection, confidence, and sustained happiness. For 5 years, she led a weekly group called OI™ JOY—a Trauma-safe Series™ course supporting the application of OI™ principles to the challenges of chronic shame. Currently, Rena K. is a facilitator-in-training for the Organic Intelligence Coaching Certification™ course and facilitator of EOTC™ live.

Creating the Conditions for Change: An Organic Intelligence® Approach to Psychedelic Therapy

As psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy expands rapidly, clinicians are seeking frameworks that extend beyond preparation protocols and post-session meaning-making to explain how therapeutic change becomes fully integrated in the biology. In this conversation with Amie Summers, she’ll introduce a body-oriented, biology-first approach to psychedelic-assisted therapy through the lens of Organic Intelligence® and complex systems science.

Learn how Organic Intelligence principles can help practitioners recognize and support the biological processes that underlie lasting integration and change. She’ll also share how these principles inform preparation, medicine sessions, and integration. We’ll learn about facilitating greater stability, flexibility, and enduring therapeutic change while respecting clients’ inherent capacity for self-organization.

Gladdening the Mind: Meditation, Ease, and Training the Mind

Meditation is often approached as something we should do—another good habit to establish, another way we might become better at managing ourselves and our lives. But what happens when meditation becomes less about striving and more about developing a different relationship with our experience?

In this conversation, Robin Craig and Steve Hoskinson will explore meditation through the lenses of Buddhist practice and Organic Intelligence, including the role of ease, interest, and even enjoyment in supporting practice. We’ll consider what we are cultivating, what helps practice take root, and how practice can meet us in the midst of ordinary life. We’ll also explore what becomes possible as we learn to attend to experience in a different way. The conversation may include an opportunity to explore some of this together through meditation practice.

Robin Bio

Robin Craig appreciates the ways that joy is an integral part of the path to deep spirituality and interconnection. She is a Nature Dharma Teacher and trained in The Mind Illuminated tradition, which is rooted in Theravadan and Tibetan Karma Kagyu traditions with lineage to the Venerable Ananda Bodhi.
