Art and somatics- grounded awareness exploration.
After 15 years as a massage therapist discovering the body's moving, coping, and healing mechanisms from stress, I am offering a workshop with some of the basic principles that show up in my practice: the lack of self-awareness of our bodies.
It begs the question of how do we keep connected to ourselves in a world so busy and already onto the next thing when what we need most is to slow down, ground and learn the art of listening to the cues our bodies give us.
This workshop will give you a basic overview of what I find essential, as well as a hands-on approach to learning to tap into your center of gravity. Stand in your feet and breathe through enough to notice the cues and signs of the body seeking realignment. A simple lymphatic reset, some self-massage, and some prop play will help you get you get back into that center pole of your inner being. If time allows, we will do a short meditative body scan.
Learning to listen to the body is an art within itself. These are all great tools to help the soma come back online, help you feel more tuned, and alleviate pains and aches through your own self-healing mechanisms. Through various exercises and activities, this experience will allow you to explore and cultivate your body's awareness and connection, opening you to your creativity and allowing expression to flourish.
The wonderful thing is that it's relaxing, simple, and fun to practice these moments of reconnection. However, they can be difficult when we haven't done them experientially. Engaging in these types of grounding practices in a group setting helps cultivate our personal and collective learning and experience.
Let's take a moment to familiarize ourselves with the basics of self-knowledge and discovery.
You will experience an array of sensations that might surprise you and help you restack your body. This unique event at La Fitnesserie, will dive into the fascinating world of somatic’s. You will learn to cultivate grounded awareness and tap into your inner artist. Whether you're a seasoned practitioner or new to somatics, this event is open to all levels. Come and join us for an afternoon of exploration, discovery, and creativity!
