S U M M E R 🔥

🔥 Moving as Love, as the truth of who you are.
🔥 Titrating and expanding into joy & pleasure (as these can often be just as uncomfortable as the more typically unpleasant parts of our human experience, and we will explain why).
🔥 Anchoring into glimmers and oxytocin as a way to expand our nervous system capacity.
🔥 Exploring the vocal-vaginal connection to your deepest and fullest expression & letting the soft animal of the body love what it loves (Mary Oliver).
🔥 Reclaiming the wisdom of the living voice as the muscle of the soul: a living being with its own will.
🔥 Compassionately confronting all the parts that have been made to feel unloveable and unworth

❤️‍🔥 Exploring play as an ally / finding the inner yes.
Gentle orientation to the world through the five senses.
❤️‍🔥 Connecting to the wider cycle of adolescence (the spring of our life) and the
areas where we may have inherited toxic shame & the reclamation of the fierce inner witness / inner advocate.
❤️‍🔥 Moving from a place of ‘power with’ vs.
‘power over.’
❤️‍🔥 Righteous rage ritual / inner teenager / somatically connecting to healthy anger.
❤️‍🔥 Sympathetic stigma - where we have been led to believe that sympathetic (fight/flight) is bad & reclaiming it as our vital force & aliveness.
❤️‍🔥 How our deepest power lies in our deepest presence (being with what is here now)
❤️‍🔥 “I can move” discovering how we support ourselves to move from fixity to flow, from freeze to aliveness.

We have two foundation somatic accreditation courses next year (March and June) and one cyclical somatic accreditation (September). Drop us a little message to bring science and spirit, human and higher, body and mind back into wholeness. Links in bio or drop us a DM to ask any questions and have a chat ❤️‍🔥

Join and in November for this cyclical somatic coaching training.

Train to become a somatic coach in this training rooted in the exploration of the seasons of the menstrual cycle.
In this training, we will explore the innate gifts in every season of our menstrual cycle.

The menstrual cycle illuminates the fact that creativity is both an inner and outer process.
We are cyclical beings, and we are not separate from Nature. Our most natural impulse is to live spontaneously, through the eyes of a child, connected to our creative life force energy.
You are invited to drop into this training that facilitates space for great liberation and reclamation as we get to know our menstrual cycle and support those around us with the non-linearity of life.

somatic coaching accreditation

The SOMA Method is primarily a practice to access our innate vitality and aliveness.
It is a way of repatterining our nervous system to be more fully in our lives.
It is a way of meeting wounded parts of ourselves that had their life force stolen from them.
It is a way of connecting and communicating with our body, our hearts, our cells and our souls.

soma is a coaching practice that holds us every day, not just in a one practice or session - but in our relationships, our families, our homes, our bodies, our communities and in how we want to live and be.

You are invited to come and train to become a somatic coach (and so so much more along the way)
Becoming something new, is actually a returning to something very old and already known within us.

Upcoming dates are :

CYCLICAL training - 11-16th November 2025
FOUNDATION training - 21-27th March 2026
FOUNDATION training - 13-19th June 2026
CYCLICAL training - 7-12th November 2026
ADVANCED training - 7-13th November 2026

Drop us a message to find out more and secure your space for £222 - after this we offer very spacious payment plans to suit your needs.

To exile the part of us that destructs, is to sedate the part of us that creates

Day Seven themes in our Advanced Somatic Practitioner Training

- Life as the creative cycle
- Creativity is our natural birthright
- Every act and breath can be taken in the essence of creativity
- Descturtion is part of the creative cycle
- We can work with both menstrual and lunar cycles alongside creative cycles
- Life as a cyclical process that is not linear and contains so many cycles within cycles

1️⃣ Is regulation even the goal anyway? Are we ever going to constantly feel regulated in a world that is far from regulated in a general sense? Can we deshame any part of us that is dysregulated and instead meet these parts as initiation, invitation and induction into greater conversation with self?

2️⃣ Regulation is NOT a state of being calm, it is the ability to change states, so if you are moving from state to state, you might not actually be dysregulated and this language is significant for shifts

So much of somatic work is simply allowing, acknowledging and recognising what is present in a compassionate and curious way that allows the body to open in gentle exploration and not close in fear of judgement. Dysregulated states are not wrong, and don’t mean you are doing badly. They are a naturally part of living in a fairly wild and chaotic life. Yes, we need to make steps (internally and externally) to support and nourish our beings but storms will come, trees will be uprooted, waves will crash, and dysregulation is an inner expression of these life storms.

What do you notice arriving?
Can you simply notice it?
Now can you acknowledge it - “ah yes I feel…..”
Can you allow this to be present and welcome and worthy, to all your own self to express itself?

Curiosity will open your eyes to the change that you are here to create by following the threads that feel like aliveness

Day Six themes in our Advanced Somatic Practitioner Training

- Our body cannot be colonised
- There is a field of energy that we can tap into of all our ancestors even if that history has been burned
- How do we expand our field of vision and perspective even when trauma threatens to narrow that vision
- The importance of a space that cultures and support individuation and separation
- The power of the imagination channel
- Cultivating our own oracular vision and specific gifts and medicine
- Knowing that sight is beyond the here and now and can travel beyond dimensions
