Moving with Trauma

A gentle movement class mixed with community gathering to support you through the winter season and all the feels that come with it.
About this Event

Moving with Trauma is a chance to get more comfrotable with yourself even in the midst of big feels.

Mini version: 90 minute class where we move gently through some lightly guided practices, have a moment to journal, and talk about resources to get through the winter months and holiday times where big feels and SAD can be present, alongside of our "normal" trauma load.

The bigger picture:

We've all got our shit, some of us more than others. CPTSD is rampant, and this world can be harsh. Plus, we all have lives to live! How do we do it?

There's not a right way to feel it, or distance from it, or process it, but there's a lot of things out there that can help support whatever we need to live with the realities of our past and present.

For the last decade, I've been working with people everyday who've lived some lives, if you know what I mean. As a bodyworker and an intimacy coach, and a person who's experienced my fair share of f*'ed up childhood nonsense, I've learned a lot about what supports people through it.

This class is a little bit of a lot of things that are simple, gentle, and effective at stirring up things just a little, and then settling them back down with care - it's a way to be with yourself, the shit of the past, the needs of the future, and the reality of who and how you are right now in the present without that feeling like a battle.

Settle in and start

Move with it

Info: An intuitive movement practice - gentle guided and with full permission to do what you need - that get's you feeling what there is to feel with safety and ease. We're not trying to crack anything open here, we're being what's asking for your attention and seeing if we can meet some internal needs.

🕑: 05:30 PM
Name it

Info: After movement, we'll settle into some prompted self reflection through journaling/drawing, giving ourselves a chance to name what's there for you, and set any intentions for the next few hours/days/weeks that you need. Then we'll close out with some collective conversation where you can participate as much as you want. We may linger past 6 for those that have the space to do so, though that isn't required.
