Sanctuary: An Accessible Somatic Dreaming Group Practice
For anyone wanting to sleep better and rest easier.
Every week in September
Join us every week online for a guided somatic meditation practice - you can join from your bed! This practice will guide you through the essential steps somatic therapy uses to provide deep nervous system regulation, so you can connect to a deep sense of ease and possibility. We will meet as a group, share our intentions, and practice for 45 minutes together. All you need to do is find a comfy place to lay down, and listen to the instructions.

Emotional Intelligence & Social Anxiety
For Youth with Developmental Disabilities
July 10, 2024 (CLOSED)
This workshop will educate, validate and normalize varied emotional experiences and encourage youth with developmental disabilities to identify their emotional state and self-regulate. I will use a strengths-based approach to highlight the ways youth already support themselves to self-regulate in their daily life. We have fun and learn with parallel play, craft self-care jars, and practice a variety of somatic tools designed to support daily life.
