We find ourselves in unprecedented times facing rapidly changing climate on our earth\, deeply divisive political climate\, and an onslaught of media cycles. All on top of our day-to-day lives\, work commitments\, and relationships. It can lead to waves of overwhelm and numbing. \nThis 6-part series will invite participants into embodied practice (somatics) that support returning to the wisdom of our body for the sake of our own healing and the healing of the world.
