Series: The Art of Listening to Yourself

Session 2: The Art of Listening Through the Body — Somatic Presence

Join Laurie for a spacious experience exploring what it means to listen to self through the body.

This is Session 2 of a two-session workshop series designed to help you hear yourself more clearly beneath the noise of daily life, shoulds, and expectations.

What if the tension or physical pain you're currently experiencing is actually inviting you to acknowledge something deeper? What other symptoms and signals is your body using to start a conversation with you to reveal your unmet needs?

Come explore gentle somatic practices as Laurie facilitates giving presence to your physical self. Rather than trying to “figure things out” in the mind, we’ll practice noticing what the body already knows—and how that awareness can gently inform the way you move through life.

This is an exploration of felt awareness, learning to trust the intelligence the body holds but the mind has not yet put into words. Through presence, we allow emotional clarity to surface, stress to release, and delight and ease to become our experience.

While this session stands fully on its own, we recommend attending both Saturdays in the series for the full experience. Both experiences are hosted at The Dock in the Ashton Building at Millwork Commons, Omaha, Nebraska.

Register for Session 1 under the Eventbrite listing "The Art of Listening Workshop Series: Intuitive Journaling"

The Art of Listening to Yourself is an in person, two-part experiential series exploring how our inner wisdom speaks in more than one language. Session 1 listens through the page (Intuitive Journaling), where thoughts and emotions become visible in language; Session 2 listens through the body (Somatic Presence), where felt intelligence emerges without words. Together, they offer a way of recognizing and trusting our inner guidance to move through our life seasons with ease and delight.
