Soma & Soul: Somatic Wisdom and Embodied Relating

Sun, Feb 22 · 1:00 PM PST

Exact Location with Ticket Purchase, wagon road, agoura hills, CA, US

Through somatic practices, movement, breath, and sound, we'll expand personal and relational range and amplify embodied aliveness.

This half-day (4hr) version of Soma & Soul is designed to bring you out of your head and into the wisdom of your body.

Expect to leave with practices you experience from the inside out and can return to again and again.

What we’ll explore

• Somatic Practices
  Uncover your current ways of being and gently “shape up” new ones—so under the ongoing pressures of life, you have more range to respond in alignment with the life you long for.
• Movement & Embodied Expression
  Guided movement and free-form dance to explore sensation and emotional flow into expression
• Voice & Breath
  Using the always-available technologies of breath and voice (humming, sounding), we’ll explore practices for regulation, resonance, and expression.

Who this is for

• You want to feel more connected to your body and its wisdom
• You love self-development, or are curious to see what’s possible
• You’ve done a lot of self development, Authentic Relating, and/or dance - and sense there’s something missing
• You value consent-based, trauma-aware spaces
• You want to nourish yourself and set yourself up with new tools for 2026

No prior experience is needed. All practices are invitational, adaptable, and grounded in choice.

What you’ll leave with

• Greater embodied awareness and self-trust
• Practical tools for regulating and resourcing yourself in everyday moments
• A clearer felt sense of your body’s signals, and more ease in expressing them
• New internal connections and with like-minded community
• The grounded satisfaction of investing in yourself from the inside out
