Boundaries, Feeling & Consent:
A 4 Week Somatic Intensive
In this trauma-sensitive group, we will gather to explore ways to respect and care for ourselves, including developing our ability to feel and learning to express consent, make requests, and set boundaries. Using a combination of somatic exercises, journaling, and group discussion, we will examine what it means to find home in our bodies and create safety and connection in our relationships. We’ll ground our explorations inside the challenging social, racial, and political contexts we are all inhabiting. All levels of experience with somatics are welcome.
