Hi dear friends.
Join me for gentle self-massage & somatic practices in this nervous system centered, trauma-informed gathering.
Each week we will be invited to explore:
⋒ mindfully making contact with our bodies
⋒ our nervous system states and how they might show up in our bodies
⋒ tuning into our felt sense through honoring sensations, emotions and boundaries
⋒ discovering different depths & types of touch
⋒ grounding, settling and being-with techniques for when we feel activated or overwhelmed
This might support you if:
⋒ you have been feeling tension in your body
⋒ you have been experiencing anxiety
⋒ you are wanting to soothe your nervous system through touch
⋒ you would like to learn somatic settling practices
You will receive:
⋒ a captioned recording of the workshops (just for our group, and with only my video pinned)
⋒ resources & notes from our workshop
Workshops will take place on Fridays in November from 4-5 PM EST. You can calculate for your time zone here.
Our practice time is short and sweet because embodiment* can be overwhelming and containment* can be helpful.
*We’ll talk more about these in our workshops.
Each workshop is self-contained with a trauma-informed introduction, so no worries if you can’t attend each one.
How much does it cost? HELD is a sliding scale offer. You can choose to pay $55, $85 or $115 for the series. And right now, it’s 20% off with the code GREATPUMPKIN20 at checkout!
If you’re feeling it and would like to save your spot, you can do that right here.
In our time together, we will:
1. Arrive and get settled into the space
2. Connect about what we’ll be invited to explore in a trauma-informed, nervous system centered way
3. Invite a connection with our bodies & present felt sense state
4. Explore somatic self-massage techniques
5. Connect and check out, as desired
What if I can’t make it live or come to every class?
That’s totally okay! You don’t need to attend each time, or at all. The recording will be there for you, and you can come and go as you please and as your life happens. Also: each workshop is self-contained with a trauma-informed introduction, so no worries if you can’t attend each one.
Will this be more lecture or body-based practices? Both! I will share a bit about the nervous system and the techniques as well as how to connect with your body in a trauma-informed way, and we’ll have time for self-massage, gentle movement and more.
What do I need to participate?
You won’t need much (besides a zoom account), but you might like to have:
Something to write with, a space to be, comfy clothes, water, anything that will resource (we’ll chat about this in the workshop) you!
What if I’ve never done this before?
You don’t need any previous experience with bodywork. Exercises will be gentle, and you don’t need any special experience or equipment to participate.
