Are you tired of New Year’s Resolutions? Especially the ones that don’t stick?
Do you feel like you sometimes make resolutions because you’re supposed to?
What would it be like to start with what you long for in your life or the world?
Here we are: at the end of a year and at the top of a new one.
Even if you don’t prioritize the Gregorian calendar - it is a cycle, a rhythm we live inside of culturally. And – the end of a cycle and beginning of another offers us time to reflect, reset, call in, and discover old or new commitments.
The world has a lot to say about what we should commit to or focus on. There’s a lot of input, noise and pressure - what would it be like to feel a sense of agency and clarity in your own commitment setting? And then be in concrete tangible action around making that commitment come to life or fruition through your body.
Somatics provides a pathway through the body to articulate your commitment and then align your words, actions and relationships with the longing.
Join us for an introductory somatic workshop to support you to clarify your longings and be in practice toward them to bring focus to the year ahead.
In this workshop we will offer a few embodiment practices to support you to listen to the wisdom of your body and center in what you are committed to. We will offer some theory, practice and space to connect. No prior somatic or embodiment experience required.
It’s never too late to get in touch with your longings and begin again.
What to expect:
In this workshop, we’ll learn through the body using individual, partner and group practices. The practices are simple, but require repetition to become accessible under pressure. Please plan to experiment with these practices in your day-to-day life between sessions.
This workshop is designed for both people new to somatics and those who've been practicing for a while. Somatic practices are meant to be revisited again and again, inviting new depth and understanding with each repetition.
About the Facilitators:
This workshop is co-facilitated by Lucy Waechter Webb and Tess Waechter Smith grounded in the Strozzi and generative somatics methodologies. Tess and Lucy are sisters, politicized healers + change makers who grew up in Michigan and after years of living away returned to the land and peoples who shaped them with a committment and longing toward community care and racial justice. They approach somatics as a practice that offers personal and collective healing and change.
