An Introduction to Somatic Thinking

About this Program

An Introduction to Somatic Thinking — your first encounter with the method. A true taste of what coaching this way feels like, before you commit.

A first, honest encounter with a different way of thinking — one that begins with what the body already knows and moves toward what the mind then learns to say. Not a course about presence; a small, guided practice of it.

Recorded sessions you take at your own pace, in Samer Hassan's own voice and story. They place coaching where it belongs among the human-development disciplines — what it is and what it is not — introduce the International Coaching Federation's standards and what its research says about coaching's impact, then return to the roots: the coach as educator, the Arabic language as a door to understanding the self, and authenticity as the ground of a distinguished coach — opening the door to Somatic Thinking and its principles. Delivered in Arabic.

For whom? Adults meeting Kun for the first time; those who have followed Samer Hassan and want a first structured practice; anyone who wants a gentle on-ramp before committing to a workshop or retreat.

On completion: ICF Continuing Coach Education (CCE) hours.

  • You can state what coaching is and is not, and tell it apart from mentoring, teaching, therapy, consulting and motivational speaking.
  • You know the ICF partnership definition, the core coaching competencies, and what the research says about coaching's measured benefits.
  • You can explain the Somatic Thinking principles and what the methodology adds on top of the accredited competencies.
  • You can describe why the methodology works, and where bodily sensory signals sit in a session.
  • You have watched a real session performed with the methodology and can describe what happened in it.
  • You have enough awareness to decide whether this path is yours, and you know the next step is the Individual Coaching Foundation.

Samer Hassan

MCC · ICF

Samer Hassan is the creator of Somatic Thinking™, a published coaching methodology, and a Master Certified Coach (MCC) with the International Coaching Federation (ICF). In 2019 he received the ICF's Young Leader in Coaching award. He began in martial arts more than thirty years ago and carried one question from there into coaching: how does a person recover their drive from within, rather than from a teacher outside them? With that question he has conducted more than ten thousand one-to-one coaching sessions. Through Kun Coaching Academy, which he founded and leads from Dubai, he has helped train 1000+ coaches across 15+ countries in three languages. He co-authored the peer-reviewed Coaching Presence (McGraw-Hill, 2021) and wrote From Balance to Baraka (2025). In a session with him, the objective is yours. He does not hand you an answer from outside you; he listens and accompanies until you hear your own. People come to him when the question is larger than a situation: who you are, what all of it is for, and where this chapter of your life is going. If you want to find out whether this path is yours, the exploration session is free: twenty minutes in which you hear how he works, and he hears what you are carrying. If you are a coach, mentoring with him is a different kind of work. In coaching you work on your objective; in mentoring you work on your practice. He holds the ICF Mentor Coach Specialization (MCS) and accompanies coaches toward their ICF credentials, with clear feedback measured against the core coaching competencies. His courses open the methodology to anyone who wants to learn it from its creator, beginning with Introduction to Somatic Thinking (STI). Ask him about his role in all of it and he will give you the line he signs with: "A companion on the path, not a leader of it."

This program gave me the tools to be present simultaneously with my mind, body, and heart, enabling an openness to honor each part without compromising. I found the Somatic Thinking approach to be an elegant, naturally flowing methodology perfectly aligned with my core values of humanity and simplicity.
