Western Massachusetts Offerings:
Somatic Healing & Parts Work Morning Workshops in Florence
Workshop Description:
During these morning workshops, we have a chance to slow down and sink into somatic practices... breathing, moving and sensing...to access the wisdom of our bodies.
I will guide you towards your inner landscape to find out what's calling your attention and needs tending. Using practices for emotional healing and self-discovery drawing from Internal Family Systems also known as Parts Work (more about this below), we will practice turning towards ourselves with compassion and curiosity to uncover our hidden needs.
We will connect with each other in playful and caring ways to help support each other's learning and bring in comforting touch (always optional), to help us feel more regulated and at ease.
The practices I offer include witnessing, writing, drawing, guided meditations and sharing. Some practices are done alone, others in small groups or some as a whole group. People often report feeling relieved, spacious and refreshed. One participant described this work as homeopathic: Gentle, but powerful.
I will be teaching skills for emotional regulation, but it’s also important to come with one or two skills for regulation already in your back pocket, for example; journaling, taking breaks or deep breathing, and please note, that while this work is therapeutic, it is not a substitute for mental health counseling.

More about Parts Work:
Parts Work is the practice of listening to the voices within. Our “parts” are our sub-personalities; they speak to us through thoughts, emotions and sensations. They have different roles, for example a part that organizes, a part that cares for others, a part that protects us from harm.
Some of our parts can feel quite challenging, for example, a tender heart, an anxious belly or the thought of not being good enough. It doesn't work so well to repress them or try to change them. Instead, we center in "Self," the word Schwarz gives to the calm and clear aspect of our being, and greet our parts from here.
We listen to their messages for us and find out what they are needing. When they feel supported and respected, they can release their grip and personal transformation can occur with more ease.
