ExplO+re Class: Spiral: A Winding Somatic Journey Back to Our Essential Nature
Somewhere along the way, our original essence was muddied by the grit of our circumstances. Our capacity to feel, to really FEEL with our whole body, was diminished. The full breath of our experience was muffled. Because we are wired to survive, even at our own expense. In this Somatic Embodiment class, we will explore and discover our lost essential nature. The children we once were. Through gentle breath work, guided meditation, and Embodiment practices, we will unwind the stories held in our body. We will float in the river of our experience. Revealing our most honest essence and learning to be in relationship with it once again. Getting curious about what it might feel like to move through the world in this state of benevolence and authenticity. How this internal resonance might outwardly transmit hope, change, and radical self love. Tiana, a sound healer, will play crystal bowls and Amadou, a Senegalese drummer, will play live drums – adding richness and depth with these sound elements.

A Collective Unburdening: Women’ Salon
Meditation Healer, Centre for Social Innovation
Survivors speaking out in this era of Metoo and TimesUp has created a huge cultural shift toward a less patriarchal society. This salon is an intentional space for women who have made the determination not to make their experiences public or are still in process with that question. We will dialogue around the power of personal transformation for collective justice, exchange tactics for self-care and creating inner peace when a source of your pain holds power in your community/is a public figure and explore through writing, meditation, and sound.
Rebecca Kelly Golfman will hold the space and offer soundscapes for healing and reflection alongside Sexual Wellness Coach, Betsy Perez and Meditation Healer, Crysta Bloom.
