About the event
Please join me for this 12-week series that welcomes you into the world of Somatic exploration and release.Â
What is Somatic work?Â
Soma is a greek word meaning "the living body known from within."
Somatic work is becoming widely known as we come to the stage in our wellbeing practice where we understand we must go deeper into the body. What's the difference between Somatics and Body Mindfulness? Simply being aware of our body is not enough. Being aware and witnessing our bodies are important. But observing doesn't mean we're actually in relationship with our body or what's occuring within it. Most are not truly aware of their body beyond the surface tension they might hold.Â
Somatic work welcomes you to explore your body in a way you've unlikely experienced it before. Through the body we'll explore stress, trauma, emotion and so much more. Â The body truly does keep the score, and it's time to understand more deeply both what you hold within and how to better understand your body in order to help is process and release.Â
Our bodies are primal, intuitive and intelligent vessels. It's time we release the stories of our minds and step more fully into the power of our bodies.Â
Together we'll explore the stress cycle and understand where your body might be getting stuck. We'll work through the layers of the physical body to better understand tension, fascia, and how to truly release this. We'll explore the power of our breath and learn how our entire body is breathing and nourishing.Â
Together, we'll come into better relationship with our bodies and all that they hold.Â
