What people are saying about the series:

I signed up for these workshops without knowing exactly what to expect, but I knew two things:

1. I could leave if it wasn't for me, and

2. it wouldn't harm me to try.

What made it easy to show up was Luciano's authenticity and genuine care for the people in the room. There was no pressure to be anything other than yourself.

Each session had a clear structure: we learned something, then we practiced it. Simple, grounded, practical.

And yes, I was often outside my comfort zone, but I also felt safe being there. That might sound contradictory, but it's actually the sweet spot for real growth. You need both: a container that feels secure enough to take risks, and guidance that gives you the tools to do something with the discomfort.

If you are someone who tends to be more analytical or grounded in the practical, this workshop meets you where you are.

It's about learning to be more present in your own body, understanding patterns you didn't know you had, and practicing new ways of moving through the world. The kind of stuff that actually translates into everyday life.

I'm glad I went. Not because it was easy, but because it was real.

Thanks Luciano!

Workshop 6/6: MY COMMUNITY & I explored awareness of personal nervous system states and relationship with community through symbols and movement. Below is one participant's experience.

As we came to the final session of our somatic experiencing workshop, we returned to the resource matrix — the people, places, and things, real or imagined, that we can come back to for safety and support. We explored cohesion and organization within chaos, noticing how even in uncertainty there can be structure, meaning, and grounding.
We each chose symbols to represent our journeys.
For me, the first symbol was my voice — finding my voice. Reclaiming it. Trusting it. Allowing it to be heard.
The second symbol represented our relationship with a larger community. I chose my heart. I have always tried to lead with my heart. For years, my heart carried my pain and sorrow, quietly holding hurt after hurt until it simply could not hold any more. The blood supply was closing off from the grief. Something had to change — and change it did. That shift has reshaped how I show up in the world.
The third symbol, representing strength, resolve, and resilience, was my journal — my stories, my internal reflections. The pages hold the space between perceived reality and brutal honesty. They hold the remembering, the unraveling, the truth-telling. Through writing, I have found grounding, clarity, and courage.
This six-week journey has been beautiful — an unfolding of prayer, play, movement, exploration, and witnessing. There were tears, camaraderie, support, and deep connection. As our final evening drew to a close, there was a palpable sadness in the room. Even though we had gone well over our scheduled time, no one seemed ready to leave. We lingered, holding onto the connection we had built together.
Overall, this experience was transformative. It stretched me beyond many of my comfort zones, yet somehow returned me to my sweet spot — authentic connection. I am deeply grateful for the experience and for everyone who shared in it.
I wholeheartedly recommend this workshop. It is not simply a program — it is a journey of reconnection, resilience, and transformation. Carmen Moar

"Returning to my somatic movement class tonight after a one-week hiatus.

If I’m honest, arriving home after a long week, slipping into my pajamas, receiving cuddles from Piper and Tilley, and zoning out to some mindless TV felt far more inviting than heading back out the door. Comfort was calling loudly.

But something deeper in me — the part that honours commitment, growth, and the quiet promises I make to myself — whispered, Go.

So I went.

As I entered the space, I could feel the shift almost immediately. My nervous system began to soften. The muted lighting, the faint hum of calming music in the background, the intentional quiet — it all felt like an exhale.

I made my way to my six-foot parcel of floor, unrolled my mat, and silently applauded myself for showing up.

Tonight we are exploring movement — and the question:

What does the way I move say about me?

I’m curious.

I’m listening.

I’m willing to discover.

We begin belly to the ground.

Hands press into the floor.

A gentle rise through the chest.

Then to the knees — mimicking the early rhythm of crawling.

Immediately I am brought back to the video we had just watched — the first year of life. The miracle of it. Our bodies awakening. Seeing. Reaching. Lifting our heads. Rolling. Crawling. Standing. Walking.

And doing it all on our own.

No one instructing.

No one directing.

No one saying, “Now do this.”

We were simply wired to explore.

We figured it out in our own timing.

So profound.

Having raised three children, I witnessed development — and yet tonight I realized I had never truly seen it this way. Never paused in awe at the orchestration of it all.

And here I am at sixty years old — stunned by the miracle of it.

Next, we simply walk.

Move in whatever way feels good.

Explore.

Shift.

Add obstacles.

At one point, I notice we are all walking in the same direction, in a line.

What does that mean?

Are we conditioned to follow?

To align?

To move together?

To feel safer that way?

I wonder.

Then we pair up — performer and observer.

Ah.

This is my sweet spot.

Connection.

We begin with a gentle, supportive hug. A simple gesture — yet it feels like an agreement: I see you. I am with you.

The performer moves through suggested emotional states — joy, anger, ease.

Our eyes stay fixed on one another as best we can. We both recognize how intense constant eye contact can be. How it shifts. How it softens or tightens depending on the emotion being embodied.

One thing I notice:

The natural propensity to smile.

Even while performing anger.

Even while holding intensity.

The body seems to want to return to warmth.

This evening has been a journey.

So simple.

Yet so complex.

It awakens something in me — observation, wonder, awe.

What miracles we are.

Nothing within us by accident.

Every system working in exquisite unison.

And yet I wonder…

What dysregulates us?

Is it life?

Is it trauma?

Is it neglect?

Is it disconnection from this original intelligence?

I am deeply enjoying this journey.

And I feel a tinge of sadness knowing there is only one class left.

I don’t want it to end.

I find myself pondering:

How do I continue this exploration?

How do I stay in conversation with my body this way?

How do I honour this awakening?

I want more."
