Building a somatic foundation under your clinical practice can make all the difference in finding more ease and joy in your work and in growing and sustaining your capacity to show up fully and effectively as a practitioner. This workshop will introduce somatic practices that can support your ability to be present and attuned to yourself, your clients, and the plants; to be flexible and resilient when challenges arise; and to stay aligned with the values that guide you and your work. We’ll root our practice in connection to land, community and self, with a particular invitation to the plants to join us in our embodied explorations.

My approach to somatics is relational (we experience ourselves in relation to a wide field of human and more-than-human kin), politicized (our personal and collective embodiment is always happening in a political context), and ecological (our embodiment is interdependent with our environment and the whole of the earth. If this approach resonates, come see how somatics might fortify or re-enliven you in your current (or future!) practice. Our contributions are needed now more than ever and I want us all to be able to show up sustainably (and joyfully!) for the long-haul.

I invite you to join me amidst the busy-ness of the weekend for a pocket of intentional slowness, as we connect to the land, check in with our bodies, and practice caring for ourselves, together.
