Somatic Practice Series: Embodied Boundaries
May 3rd + May 10th
10a-12p PST/ Virtual/Zoom
$45 *equity available
This Somatic Practice Series, Embodied Boundaries, will specifically focus on accessing the mobilizing and protective power of the sympathetic nervous system.
Falls, accidents, surgeries, relational harm or any form of physical, emotional or sexual violation, including being targeted for your identity, are just some of the ways our capacity to access boundaries can be inhibited, confused or overly rigid. Through somatic exercises and explorations we'll develop a clearer understanding of what a yes, no and unsure feel like in our own systems, discovering and clarifying how our bodies communicate about boundaries through sensation, impulse, movement, posture and imagery. We’ll practice feeling healthy aggression as well as healthy self-protection.
Whether you are someone seeking to repair the experience of boundary rupture or a person just trying to navigate living in the world as it is, this series is an invitation into finding your own midline and building the capacity to stay well oriented to the moment and right sized inside yourself when you feel threatened. This can be profoundly reparative and deeply informative, bringing us a greater felt sense of safety and confidence in our ability to take appropriate action.
This series will be recorded so if you're in another time zone or want to revisit the practice again, it will be available to you.
Pre-Recorded Classes + Workshops
You can access a collection of recorded Nervous System Reset classes or my Somatic Tools for Resourcing the Nervous System workshop through The Bhakti Yoga Movement Center’s online library. I am also a contributor to trainings offered by The Breathe Network, a non-profit organization that provides a healing resource network to survivors of sexual trauma. TBN also offers education and training for health and healing professionals on the impacts of sexual violence and best practices in providing trauma-informed care to survivors. Those trainings can be accessed directly through The Breathe Network.
"As a bodyworker of 15+ years, taking Kate’s workshop on resourcing your nervous system helped me not only to recognize how my body responds to stressors, but to more clearly recognize these stressors in my clients’ bodies, and respond accordingly during a session. Her nuanced understanding of nervous system anatomy and physiology, especially polyvagal theory, is way more information than I ever got in massage school. I use the skills I learned in her workshop every day in the treatment room.”-AB
