-
SOMATIC INTELLIGENCE + HOLISTIC LIVING + SACRED INQUIRY
Exploring the tender, rhythmic, meaningful aspects of being human in a digestible, grounded way.
Remember your inherent intelligence, goodness, and belonging; a felt experience of wholeness; a coming home.
Upcoming
Gatherings:
In Gestation; Time + Date TBD
A space to take refuge from the noise and return to body, heart, earth, cosmos, source, center through intentional movement, somatic inquiry, meditation, and expressive arts.
This practice beside the new moon and will serve as time, space, permission, and support to slow down, tend, and go within, cultivating fertile soil for the new moon to take root.
As rhythmic, cyclical beings affected by the rhythms and cycles of earth and cosmos, it can be informative, insightful, and inspiring to engage in practices and ways of being that put us back into participatory relationship with the rest of life.
It has also been found in archaeological evidence from the caves in Southern France, that the cycles of the moon may have been one of the earliest forms of tracking time and engaging in ritual practice.
What to expect:
Arriving and settling through body literate practices that respect the pace of the nervous system and animal body
Gentle yoga and meditation to nurture prana/life force/the rivers of the body and deepen in connection to soul, life, and the wider than
Time for integration through writing and/or drawing with intentional prompts
Taking refuge in the goodness, intelligence, and love that lives inside and all around
There are times when sharing during virtual classes serves a purpose and can help cultivate a sense of togetherness and there are times when remaining internal and maintaining a silent container are beneficial— this practice will lean into the latter and serve as an opportunity to take refuge in your practice
There is a Beautiful Creature
Living in a hole you have dug.
So at night
I set fruit and grains
And little pots of wine and milk
Besides your soft earthen mounds,
And I often sing.
But still, my dear,
You do not come out.
I have fallen in love with Someone
Who hides inside you.
We should talk about this problem--
Otherwise,
I will never leave you alone.

tending the soma, soul, and spirit.
Welcome ,
I am a somatic guide, yoga and ayurveda practitioner, and integrative psychotherapist.
My work weaves ancient wisdom, experiential insight, and scholarly study into a felt experience of aliveness, wonder, meaning, and wholeness- where the seen and unseen meet. This work is rooted in an ethos of holism, animism, regeneration, and the numinous.
My approach is a synthesis of my studies in yoga, ayurveda, meditation, animism, spirituality, somatics, mental health, trauma responsive care, expressive arts, and social work. I believe social work is rooted in story, the soma, and the sacred- story as a thread of interdependence, somatic as a pathway to embodied vitality, and sacred as a lifeline to the wider than.
I support folks in uncovering and remembering their embodied and psychological well-being through the different seasons, cycles, and chapters of life byway of somatic experiencing, soul work, yoga and ayurveda, and the mythopoetic.
In practice, I bring a sense of care, compassion, and curiosity to group and private sessions as well as a deep reverence for the teachings that have crossed my path, integrating philosophy, theory, cosmology, mythology, ecology, spirituality, and heartfelt intention.
Please note, integrative psychotherapy services are offered under Anam Therapeutics PLLC, contracted with Bright Therapeutics PLLC. For more information and inquires, please visit Bright Therapeutic Services.
A poem for the road.
The Fountain
by Denise Levertov
Don't say, don't say there is no water
to solace the dryness at our hearts.
I have seen
the fountain springing out of the rock wall
and you drinking there. And I too
before your eyes
found footholds and climbed
to drink the cool water.
The woman of that place, shading her eyes,
frowned as she watched -- but not because
she grudged the water,
only because she was waiting
to see we drank our fill and were
refreshed.
Don't say, don't say there is no water.
That fountain is there among its scalloped
green and gray stones,
it is still there and always there
with its quiet song and strange power
to spring in us,
up and out through the rock.
