A Four-Month Virtual Somatic Trauma Healing Group

Get out of your head and into your body through the wisdom of nature.

In this group container, we will learn new somatic (body-based) trauma healing skills based on the elements of nature: Earth, Water, Air, and Fire.

This group is for anyone who has experienced trauma in their life and/or anyone who would like to feel more embodied on a regular basis.

The group includes two monthly live group session via Google Meet. The first session of the month focuses on somatic skill building while the second session focuses on trauma processing as a group.

January 16 & 30, 2024

February 13 & 27, 2024

March 12 & 26, 2024

April 9 & 23, 2024

7:00 - 8:15 p.m.

  • In January, we will focus on GROUNDING, leaning into the stability of the Earth and our ability to connect with it in every moment. We will get curious about the question: What does safety feel like in my body?

    Somatic skills to learn: resourcing, grounding, orienting, and somatic awareness

  • Our February sessions will teach us to be like water. That is to FLOW and allow sensations as they come and go. The skills taught in this session will make space for moving through difficult emotions and uncomfortable sensations with more ease and safety.

    Somatic skills to learn: titration, pendulation, and intentional movement

  • March is all about the element of air and how we experience it in our bodies through BREATH. We will spend time exploring the natural breath, trying out another way of breathing, and expanding our vocabulary for talking about body sensations.

    Somatic skills to learn: conscious breathing, voo sound, and somatic language expansion

  • When we think of fire, we often think of warmth, or perhaps burning. Fire also owns the space its given, whether that space is a candle, a bonfire, or a wildfire. April’s sessions will focus on taking OWNERSHIP of our own body. The group will close with acts of triumph, or thanking our bodies for the ways they have protected us throughout our lives.

    Somatic skills to learn: somatic boundary expression, saying ‘no’, and acts of triumph.
