Upcoming Retreats
Moving Through Freeze: A Somatic Attunement Retreat
Moving Through Freeze: A Somatic Attunement Retreat
Join body mechanics and mobility coach Mandy Hackman and psychotherapist and educator Amie Anderson for a weekend of emerging from the deep freeze of winter. We will create space within ourselves to thaw out, applying wisdom from Somatic Experiencing and movement-based somatic exploration that honor the nervous system’s mechanisms for safety and interconnection. Together, we will reignite agency for those who are feeling stuck, indecisive, or frozen as we welcome the coming spring. We will offer a space to become curious about freeze, reconnect with our bodies, and expand into resilience with movement, art, and conceptual exploration. As nature cycles through freeze and thaw, we will honor the wisdom in our bodies and invite new possibilities.
Contact Improv + SOTAI Ancestral Body
Contact Improv + SOTAI Ancestral Body
Hello. This is our second CI+SOTAI retreat at WildHeart. I am deeply honored to hold space for contradicting the world’s normalization of disembodiment and distress through remembering, embodying and resting our SOTAI (human and non-human ancestral body). As a Japanese person, I will emphasize on taking time and being spacious. Let the time have their turn to speak. Let the space have their turn to speak. Touch is powerful. Touch is a portal. Sometimes I don’t want to be touched because it’s so nostalgic. Can I cry with you? I am so blessed to be alive with you all.
