The muscles establish a tensile three-dimensional grid for the balanced support and movement of the skeletal structure by providing the elastic forces that move the bones through space. They provide the dynamic contents of the outer envelope of flesh encompassing the skeletal structure. Through this system we embody our vitality, express our power, and engage in the dialogue of resistance and resolution.
10/10 - 10/20/25 (days off 10/13 & 10/17)
Completion of other SME courses is a prerequisite. Time is spent considering what it means to be a professional and how do you transition into this role? This course will cover some of the important issues facing professionals in the somatic field.

The Logic of Support
This workshop will look at Gait Mechanics and human fascial anatomy as a resource for exploring the fundamentals of human locomotion and dance. We will work with Contact Improvisation and The Axis Syllabus© as resources for finding support.
Waiting for the Weight
We are disassembling and reassembling all the time into different shapes. The “success” of motion comes from a balance of tension and release. Together we will explore our ability to “fall and catch” ourselves and others using the Axis Syllabus© and Contact Improvisation.
Shake with Niki (in-person only)
5-6.30pm Second Sunday of every month, starting November 10th (60-75 mins)
Group Shake - A somatic movement practice during which we will shake to music or sometimes, silence. Shaking, individually but as part of a group to ground us, can be healing as it is a natural way to relieve tension. You may choose to shake standing, seated, lying down or alternating between those depending on what your body needs in the moment. You can choose your own intensity, when to stop or when to keep going as you listen to your own body. While it is important to keep ourselves open to what, if anything, may arise emotionally, please only engage to the degree that you can still care for yourself. This is not a therapeutic space. The practice will start with a demonstration and it will end in silence. Dress comfortably and stay hydrated!
$10-$25 (with Sonic Immersion $8-20 - Come just for the Shake, or stay on for the Sonic Immersion right after)
A multi-instrumental Sound Bath by Sasha Bogdanowitsch to create an ever-evolving sonic tapestry that will immerse attendees in resonance and overtones; aiding all in their own sonic journey, relaxation, stress reduction and/ or meditation.

Authentic Movement is a contemplative dance practice where a mover explores the unconscious mind through self-directed, expressive movement while being witnessed with compassion and non-judgment. This relational practice of “seeing and being seen” fosters trust, self-awareness, and a deeper connection to one’s inner experience.
Vija’s two-hour contemporary class begins with a full-body Simonson Technique warmup, balancing stretching, strengthening, and dance technique. Dancers then move through progressions across the floor before learning a longer combination and closing with improvisation. Her classes emphasize musicality, fluidity, and emotion.

Three skilled practitioners will be offering a variety of sessions for you to choose from throughout the weekend. Whether you’re looking to connect more deeply with your body, recenter your mind, release built-up tension, restore safety within your nervous system, or find a sense of inner clarity, our practitioners each bring their own unique expertise in facilitation and guidance.
Browse each practitioner below and select the session(s) that resonates with you. You’re welcome to book with one practitioner or multiple practitioners.
