PRACTICING
TOWARD A
NEW
WORLD
10-Week Somatic Practice Group
collective healing and embodied world-making
This group is for change-makers, artists, and dreamers who are interested in collective healing and world-making. Through a mix of playfulness, somatic practice, and imaginative inquiry, we will work to embody new possibilities both individually and collectively. Our bodies heal most readily in relationship. perhaps because this is also where our defenses and fears show up most acutely. With the somatic arc of transformation as our guide, we will explore and move through what keeps us from accessing our full aliveness, sense of purpose, and collective imagination.
This series includes individual, partnered, and group practices.
Participation in this series also includes a 1:1 coaching session with the facilitator

WHAT A BODY CAN DO
January Practice Group
A monthly virtual space to explore, discuss, and practice WHAT A BODY CAN DO.
This month we will be exploring the concept of SHAPE. If you haven't listed to the podcast episodes on SHAPE yet, make sure you do before we practice! LISTEN HERE
How are we shaped by the world around us? How are we shaped by the stories, people, experiences, and worldviews of our lives? I mean SHAPE literally, like the growth and tension patterns of our muscles, the way we walk, move, gesture, and posture ourselves. The shapes of canyons and redwoods are determined by the ecosystems and nutrients and disruptions that accumulate over generations, somatics proposes that bodies work the same way.
Tuesday January 18th @ 6pm-7pm EST // 3pm-4pm PST
Zoom link will be emailed to you the day before the workshop
Coming Back To Ourselves and Each Other
a somatic healing group for white identified social change organizers and cultural workers
During this 11 week healing arc, we will work through the body to become aware of and heal contractions shaped by oppression, whiteness, and social conditioning, and work to support you to embody what you most care about- even under the pressure of this political moment.
By recognizing and exploring how your body is shaped to survive we are clued into what new skills need to be developed and what needs to heal through the body to find more freedom, choice, and empowerment for ourselves and for how we show up in our communities.
By focusing on the ‘how’ we remind ourselves and each other that there is a path forward, toward collective liberation and transformation.
