WHAT’S ON? Workshops & Support Groups
Do you need a safe enough space to review what’s going on inside you, grapple with internal questions, get perspective from others? In our groups, serious investigation and aha-moments, decision-making and tears meet laughter, play, and joyous release. For 10+ years, we have been co-creating such spaces for transformation with participants of our workshops, therapeutic and support groups. We use art, breathwork, conscious movement, dance, journaling, meditation, mindfulness, nature, rhythm, ritual, somatics and sound/voice, so everyone can take something valuable that works for them.
Our social experience determines our health to a great extent. The systems we live in tend to keep us separate. Loneliness begets shame and more loneliness. When we are isolated, overworked, and feel stress from all sides, we may lose the drive or energy to seek out people, forgetting that we are wired to go through life together. Healing cannot happen alone. Life is so much more gratifying and rich when we participate in community experiences. In groups, we can practice being vulnerable, welcoming the unexpected, embodying new ways of being, connecting with and trusting others. Join us and be surprised at how deep change can happen in group spaces – without enormous effort!

PAST OFFERINGS, WORKSHOPS ON DEMAND
POLITICIZED SOMATICS FOR ACTIVISTS. Based on the generative somatics model, we explore how we are shaped individually and collectively by the world, discover our deepest longings and develop a commitment towards change, learning practices to uphold our commitments, care for ourselves and each other, and let go of the practices and shaping that take us off course. We offer one-day or weekend introductory workshops, as well as a series of 2-hour sessions with one group, which takes us through an arc of embodied transformation.
SOMATICS and SONG / RESONANCE. Collective circle singing and rhythm, with some breathwork, meditation, movement and somatics mixed in. These 2-hour sessions often take place outside in warm weather.

Some themes: identifying values, visioning and goal setting, relationships, boundaries and intimacy; connection with the body; communication; managing emotions and thoughts; nervous system basics; grief and joy, mindset; overthinking and self-talk; play; self and collective care; trust… and many more.
