Root & Resonate:
Spacious practices for stressful times
A Somatics & Parts Work (IFS) Learning Space
This is a hard time for many. Let's support each other in finding more ease amidst it all so we can navigate our life with from our center. When we gather together in a spirit of non-judgment and offer each other caring attention and encouragement, we can rekindle a sense of aliveness and can even have more joy. From this place, we can root into our own essence, our gentle power, also called Self energy, and attend to the parts within us that are longing to be seen and known.
If this sounds appealing to you, come join me for a 4-week class to connect with others and to deepen your connection to yourself. I teach you simple, yet potent practices for resilience, drawing from somatic practices, IFS (parts work), expressive arts and nervous system regulation tools. Some practices will be done solo, others in small groups or pairs and some with the group as a whole.
This series may be for you, if you are...
* Wanting more compassionate connection.
* Seeking a practice and learning space for embodiment and parts work.
* Are curious to get to know your nervous system and gain new regulation practices.
* Struggling with challenging feelings or stress.
* Enjoy authentic relating and play.
You get the benefits of co-regulation, and are also leave empowered with self-regulation tools that you can have in your back pocket when stress or difficult emotions arise.
Each session begins with slowing down tune into our bodies and noticing what is happening in our nervous system. I offer "rounds of regulation" which are a series of embodiment practices, breath, grounding, orienting, movement and touch. We practice them each session and also highlight one each time to take deeper look at one and understand how it can nurture our wellness,
We also attend to our parts. What parts are emerging? How are they showing up? How do we feel towards them? With engage in a caring conversations from Self and offer them validation, guidance and support. Parts practices include guided practices, writing, moving and drawing.
Come to:
* Slow down and experience the power of the breath.
* Root into your gentle power (Self energy).
* Orient to the environment to cultivate a feeling of safety.
* Create room for your parts to be seen, understood and supported.
* Soothe, comfort and strengthen with self-supportive touch.
* Explore the power of movement to release tension and promote flow.
* Connect with each other (co-regulate/resonate) for mutual support and play.
Participants often report feeling nourished and grateful to feel more at home in themselves with this work. I hope you will join me!

Participant Expectations:
You have done some parts work and you are able to:
-Listen to others without interrupting.
-Speak with respect and kindness.
-Refrain from giving advice, unless asked.
-Communicate your needs and make requests.
-Tend to your own triggers and come prepared with a few tools for self-care.
-Pause & take time to notice body sensations and emotions.
Important info:
-I welcome all genders to my groups.
-These practices can be therapeutic, this class is not a substitute for mental health counseling. If you are dealing with mental health issues, please have support from a professional.
- While I work gently and provide space for integration, these classes may catalyze the movement of emotions that you don’t have time to process during a session. You may want to schedule 10 or 15 minutes afterwards to continue integration.
-This work draws from Parts Work (Internal Family Systems), but doesn’t necessarily use all of the tools or in the order in traditional IFS. This approach is more fluid. I use the concept of a “part” more broadly. My goal is to establish a compassionate relationship to whatever is emerging and restoring a sense of wellness and safety. My background in Internal Family Systems is a 3 year study group with Wendy Weiss and the IFSCA Stepping Stones program.
-Somatic approaches draw inspiration from 2 years of training in Somatic Experiencing, and over 20 years of mindfulness practices, and improvisational dance forms.
