Embark on a transformative journey of self-discovery and connection at "Embodied Connection: Exploring Authentic Relating through Touch." Join us for a 2.5-hour somatically attuned evening filled with an understanding of boundaries touch.
During this immersive experience, you'll have the opportunity to listen deeply to your body, discern the nuances of a true "yes," and honor even the subtlest twinge of a "no." We'll explore what it means to connect with our senses without any agenda beyond the present moment, diving into the depths of discomfort and joy alongside others.
"Embodied Connection" invites you to engage with your inner desires and boundaries, practicing deep listening and navigating the delicate art of rejection and acceptance. What arises within you when faced with the prospect of rejection? Do you shy away from reaching out for fear of hearing "no"? Do you freeze instead of saying “no”?
Through interactive exercises, we'll delve into authentic somatic communication, cultivating self-awareness, empathy, and emotional intelligence. Discover the profound joy of being truly seen and understood by yourself and others as we foster meaningful connections through the practice of Authentic Relating.
These exercises simplify the connection process with structured, guided experiences that will lead you on a journey of inquiry and body awareness unlike any other form of group connecting I’ve experienced. Join us for an evening of exploration, vulnerability, and authentic connection.

Through somatic practices, you will be guided to embody the pieces of you that are in need of integration.
