An 8-week committed series
January 14 – March 11
(No session February 18)
Drop-ins welcome for the first two weeks (Jan 14 and 21)
9:30-11:30am
About the Series
We will explore movement as an expression of material intelligence: sensation, gravity, impulse, rest. Practices invite participants to listen beneath habit and story, allowing motion to arise from contact with what is already present.
This is a space for remembering that bodies belong to the world—and that the world moves through our bodies.
Through movement, stillness, and attentive witnessing, we explore how bodies weave themselves into larger patterns: land, lineage, culture, and the living present. Practices and frames draw from Authentic Movement, Somatic Experiencing®, and Cultural Somatics. We work with sensation, image, impulse, and rest, allowing meaning to emerge slowly.
This is a space for:
re-patterning relationship with self and environment
cultivating trust in bodily intelligence
exploring support, edges, and choice
being witnessed without interpretation or fixing
This series is open to anyone curious about how embodied practice can support resilience, agency, and a sense of place—both within oneself and in the wider world.
No prior experience is necessary.

A Note on Care and Support
Somatic care and witnessing can surface challenging processes. While our group practice offers support, some experiences may require more individualized attention. To honor the integrity and limitations of the shared space, participants are encouraged to have an active web of care that includes mental health or other professional supports.
If you are unsure whether this group is right for you—or if you are currently navigating intense life challenges—please reach out to me directly for a conversation before joining.
Accessibility: Community Yoga & Wellness Center is a scent-free space, located on the second floor and accessible by stairs.
