Dec 10 • Soma Soma Soma #3 – Amélie Gaulier + Sara Awada
Join us for SOMA SOMA SOMA, a new series of workshops organized by Amélie that explore what somatic practices are and why practicing them together is so powerful. Each session will feature a guest co-facilitator, bringing unique perspectives as we discover how working with the body and mind helps us connect, heal, and grow as a collective.
Soma-tics is about our ability to be present with sensations and emotions by building tolerance for what we feel. It helps us become aware of our current practices and learn new ones that align with our values and who we want to become. Définition inspired by Stacy K Haines, in “Politics of Trauma”
