My first collection of writing paired with somatic practice is now available for purchase.
These words and practices are for the world holders, deep feelers, heavy lifters, helpers, and burdened shoulders. the ones that have learned, either through experience, agreement, protection, or observation.. to carry it all. these words are an invitation to investigate what is ours to hold and what is not. with intention and hope of moving towards putting down what is not ours to keep or carry. may we hold what is ours with care and have the courage to build different stories, stories not built on sacrifice- together. there is a somatic or embodiment practice paired with each poem. this is to feel and be with the sensation of the poem in your body. to create some internal space and explore how these qualities move in you. when we investigate ideas through the body, there is a new kind of attunement to ourselves that is born. the body is a wise teacher and ally with much information to share. these practices are not rigid or static. they are meant to grow and breathe. please adapt or shift them to your specific body in whatever way you need. before beginning a practice, intentionally signal to your body that you are about to begin a practice. when complete, intentionally transition out of the practice and into the rest of your day.
