Imagine the possibility that what feels stuck, or is keeping you stuck (mentally, physically, emotionally, and/or spiritually) is an isolated moment (or series of moments) in your past when there was a lack of relational resonance and the flow of life froze and buried itself into an isolated pocket of energy, awaiting the love and light of your attention to come be with it in the way it needed back then, and needs now. I laugh as I write this, because there is a part of me that I am delighting in more and more who will hear me or others describing something somatic and will say in response… “words, words, words…Let’s drop into something deeper.”
This my friends, is the realm of somatics. We can use all the words we can muster to describe, to explain, to make sense of, to create structure and possibility, and this is an important part of the process. But eventually, we need to drop in and drop down into what is waiting beneath the words. This is what you will learn and experience in my four part series Somatic Savvy.
Yes there will be words. I will guide you through some structure, I will even present a little slideshow that details the theme of the session and clarity into what to expect, what you might notice, and when/why/where the resources, tools and practices we will engage in could be supportive. And then, we drop into the experience because that is how you will meet what feels stuck and guide yourself back into flow and openness.
To be somatic savvy is to recognize that we cannot liberate ourselves or wake ourselves up with the same language that put us asleep or boxed us in (Ghosthorse, 2021). Lakota scholar Tiokasin Ghosthorse (2021) highlights the English language as perpetuating this sense of separation and isolation, as a left-brain dominant, noun-based objectification that is inherently dominating, and riddled with phrases and cultural narratives that seek to possess and contain. There is so much more to you than your thinking mind, the words that narrate your experience, the ideas that you have about who you think you are. These are not bad or “less than”, they are just not the whole picture. When we can step out of the contracted and limiting space of a dominant thinking mind, we can shift to notice how we are shaped my how we are met, and most importantly, this includes how we are meeting ourselves, and the many aspects of our experience.
Join me for this four-part series online, starting in February 2026, to learn, practice, and explore what it is to notice what’s here and take responsibility for how you are being with what you notice. I am your guide, your fellow-traveler, and your anchor as you come back home to the anchor within.
