A Year-Long
Somatic Healing
& Transformation Program

This year-long group program is for the world tenders — the project leaders, creatives, healers, caretakers and dreamers who are feeling the weight of the world, but don’t want to get snowed under by it.

You feel me?!?

This is a place to deepen into your inner realms and allow them the space to breathe, to stretch, and to unfold in ways that inform and support your outer reality.

I’ve made this for those of you who don’t want to look out from under the covers, but are anyway. And, I’ve made it for those of you who need to stay under the covers for a little while to recover and begin to dream again.

The intention behind creating this group is to create something that builds somatic community, while also offering 1:1 support. Something that is nimble enough to hold you where you are, and also provides consistency of nourishment, company and embodied skill building to meet these times in health and strength.

If you are feeling stressed physically, emotionally or mentally, and are tired of putting your needs aside, check out all the details below.

Curriculum

Our curriculum revolves around participants’ needs, and moves between the following realms of embodied experience:

꩜ Inner World
꩜ Nature
꩜ Spirituality
꩜ Physical Ease/Healing
꩜ Community

Program Structure

A year of transformation, providing for depth of connection with yourself, each other, and your healing/learning/life goals.

Space to breathe, pause, take breaks. The web that we weave together is strong and nimble enough to meet you where you need, even if you don’t participate in each and every aspect or meeting.

Rolling admission as long as there’s space. Room to breathe and get what you need. The container we weave allows for deep learning, AND gives space for you to take pauses when you need.)

The Group Meetings

The following are rotating themes for our group meetings.

Hybrid In Person (West Philly) & Virtual 

Recorded for ease
Audio & energetic connection primarily (rest those weary eyes). 


2 Wednesdays per month
1–2:30 EST

  • Here’s where you get to ask questions and receive somatic facilitation and guidance from me, with the support and company of the group. You can also sit back and bask in the glow of somatic company while absorbing benefits and lessons from one another’s mini-sessions.

  • Here’s where I teach somatic ways to meet the challenges present for members of this group — mental, emotional, physical/physiological, relational, work/project related.  Then we practice these skills together. 

    It will be some combination of restful, nerdy and skill-buildy, and you are always invited to participate in ways that are most nourishing for you. Falling asleep or going on your own tangent is ok too! Farewell “be a good student” patterns! And you can always re-watch later.

  • This is a priceless opportunity to learn one of the best forms of mutual aid I know:  Calling a friend up and practicing somatically together. There are structures and ways to connect that I’ve found work great, and I’ll teach them by example here.

    These will be scheduled but can be dropped into as desired. Call from the woods! From your desk! Get what you need!
