Marsh Ecology Walk + Somatic Stress Workshop

Lauren at High Tide Paddle Co (Paddle Babes) and Ashleigh at Somatics For Stress are hosting an immersive marsh ecology and somatic stress workshop for women who are experience chronic stress and who know they need to get outside more. We are here for you! We will be taking an intimate dive into what makes the marsh so magical (because it's pretty freaking awesome) and how to use the magic of our local Charleston ecosystem to reduce stress in your day to day life. We both firmly believe that one of the absolute best ways to reduce stress is to GET OUTSIDE. If you know you need to get outside more and are really feeling the stress of life starting to creep up on you, we would love to see you.

WHY ATTEND?

• Open ourselves up to the wisdom of the marsh and how you can become deeply immersed in your local ecosystem
• Get to start your Saturday by playing in the marsh with us! Such a good setup to a relaxing and restorative weekend.
• Connect with like-minded individuals on a shared path of discovery and growth.
• Enhance our mind-body connection by learning the practice of somatics.
• If you experience chronic stress, you are going to be given body-centered tools that you won't get in your standard talk therapy sessions.
