When the abstraction of what’s inside us takes on more of a distinct form, we can attune with more intimacy and availability to the truth of our body in the moment.

This day-long class is for people interested in learning human anatomy through both visuals and touch. Connecting structures we can look at in a model or book with what we feel inside ourselves and when touching others alters what and how we know.

We will focus on the head, thorax, diaphragm, pelvis and feet, drawing from Somatic Experiencing and Craniosacral Therapy diaphragm frameworks. Our time will include visual anatomy, palpation of self, partnered activities, and group discussion. I'll be using the emotion of awe as a guide for our time - how we make contact, what we can see, feel, and know.

In-person on Saturday, May 11th, 10am at Yaad Wellness, 344 Main Street, Catskill, NY 12414

This weekend will also include a class with my dear colleague, Char:

Tremor Practice Workshop with Char CA

We're gathering to build skill around a simple, thoroughly effective somatic tool for stress resilience. This workshop supports understanding of and comfortable practice with therapeutic tremoring. We work with the tremor as a nervous system tool for regulation, to decrease stress and increase resilience. For context, we'll also explore basic nervous system states and how we can know we're shifting between them.

Our exploration will be informed by Nkem Ndefo's work with The Resilience Toolkit and principles of Somatic Experiencing as well as by the wisdom each participant's body will present.

For folks with an existing somatics or bodywork practice.

In-person on Friday, May 10th, 10am at Yaad Wellness, 344 Main Street, Catskill, NY 12414
