Moving Through Freeze: A Somatic Attunement Retreat
Join body mechanics and mobility coach Mandy Hackman and psychotherapist and educator Amie Anderson for a weekend of emerging from the deep freeze of winter. We will create space within ourselves to thaw out, applying wisdom from Somatic Experiencing and movement-based somatic exploration that honor the nervous system’s mechanisms for safety and interconnection. Together, we will reignite agency for those who are feeling stuck, indecisive, or frozen as we welcome the coming spring. We will offer a space to become curious about freeze, reconnect with our bodies, and expand into resilience with movement, art, and conceptual exploration. As nature cycles through freeze and thaw, we will honor the wisdom in our bodies and invite new possibilities.

Cuddle Party
A workshop on Consent and Communication, cleverly disguised as a Pajama Party. Have recent events left you feeling deprived of opportunities for touch? Do you feel stressed, overwhelmed, isolated, or alone? Do you struggle to ask for what you really want? If any of this sounds like you or you are just curious then you are invited to pack your PJs, your favorite pillow, and a snack to share and give yourself the gift of a Cuddle Party.

DANCING THE MESS OF RELATIONSHIP: An Art-Monastic Experiment in Relational Meditation
Our intention for this 9-day program is to practice meditation on the relational field. Where a traditional meditation retreat might have practitioners focusing on their breath, or sensations throughout their body, this meditation practice will have us focusing on what is coming up between us in relationship moment-to-moment, the ever-unfolding dance between self and other.

Shake with Niki
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)
