Tending to the Nervous System - A Somatic Therapy Group

 

Reserve your Spot!

Our nervous system holds the stories of our experiences—our joys, our grief, our survival. This group is an offering for those who want to deepen their relationship with the personal, the collective, the seen and unseen. In a world that moves fast, this group is a space to slow down and listen. Together, we will explore how our nervous systems hold our experiences, how we process what’s happening in our lives and in the world, and how we can expand our capacity to feel, regulate, and connect.

Over the course of two hours, we will move through an open-structure flow that allows for embodiment, processing, and nervous system care:

Embodiment (30 min): Yin yoga or intuitive movement to arrive in the body, noticing sensation, rhythm, and breath.

Processing (75 min): A space to bring what is present—what we are carrying, what is moving through us—and explore how it lives in our bodies. We will deepen our interoception, our ability to be with sensation, and our capacity to hold both self-regulation and co-regulation within a group.

Integration (15 min): Learning and practicing a nervous system regulation tool, whether through polyvagal exercises, breathwork, or sound.

For our final session, we will close in community and celebration, weaving live music into our embodiment practice as we honor connection and endings.

This group is for those seeking to build awareness of how their bodies respond to life, to deepen their ability to be with sensation, and to practice nervous system regulation in relationship—with self and in community.
