What we’re about
The Somatic Coven is a neuro-informative, magickal learning community for radical somatic reclamation. Together, we:
… cultivate trauma-sensitive spaces outside of the Healing Industrial Complex, invoking our innate witchery to shape our nervous systems and befriend our body-based experiences.
… draw on elemental practices to generate safety in an unsafe world, grounded in the teachings of lunar cycles, meditative movement, tarotist archetypes, and other forms of magick.
… gather with intentions of witnessing and being witnessed, co-nurturing dignity for our wholly unique bodies, and accessing joy without spiritual bypass.
… foreground embodiment as a radical choice during these apocalyptic times; and examine, celebrate, and advocate for somatic exploration as both a political and spiritual act.

Nobody turned away for lack of funds.Each time Earth's moon reappears to its inhabitants, earthlings are uniquely positioned for somatic replenishment. The first visible sliver of moonlight bolsters our access to cyclical cosmic strength, and supports our bodies as we navigate our internal tides. Let's gather each New Moon to generate mindful embodiment and mutual support, and set or renew intentions for our somatic journeys.
Participants will be invited into the wisdom of their own unique explorations, and deeply encouraged to honor their body's requests above anything the facilitator offers. In this space, you are the only expert on your experience. The only non-optional practices are mindful presence, and kindness to self and others.

Because video meeting is a challenging medium by which to connect wholly and authentically, we ask that participants make the effort to be as present as possible in the digital space. Ideally, this means our cameras are on during group discussion, and that we are not dividing our attention with simultaneous activities. To help create brave spaces for the vulnerability of embodiment work, our digital gatherings are never recorded.
