keeping warm, with humor, through the freeze!!

Our February Focus is for the person inside of us who feels behind, tired of striving, or longing for grounded, embodied movement and spirituality.

You are not behind.
You are becoming.

Join us this month as we honor slow growth, embodied faith, and the sacred dignity of ordinary life.

2. The Everyman (Regular Guy/Gal) “The human”
Core desire: Belonging, connection
Strengths: Empathy, humility, groundedness
Shadow: Losing identity, seeking approval too much
Soma Faith reframing: Embodying “We are one Body” while keeping personal integrity.

“You are not behind. You are becoming.”
“You don’t have to be extraordinary to be meaningful.”
“You can only rise from the ground”

Let’s explore something quietly radical: ordinary life is holy.
February Soma Hero Journey: Honoring Ordinary Life and Celebrating being human.

This month we’re moving with the archetype of The Ordinary Man: the part of us that grows slowly, learns through repetition, and keeps showing up imperfectly.

After beginning the year with The Innocent (belonging and trust), February grounds us in what comes next: the sacred work of becoming human.

This is not symbolic only. It’s somatic.
We’ll let the body teach what words alone cannot:

You cannot skip stages.
You cannot rise without the ground.
You cannot walk without wobbling.
And nothing about that is failure.

The Ordinary Man archetype reminds us:

You don’t have to be extraordinary to be meaningful.
Your ordinary life is the exact place growth happens.

Fondly called “Flounce” this somatic experience begins and ends with the same song. A fun and novel way to deliver an embodied class (end as we began yet sense the different). Notice how you feel in the song at the beginning of the experience, then notice how you feel at the end with the same song. Self Healing can be defined as any thing that feels better. If you notice anything feels better, recognize this as self healing and give body gratitude.

What if clarity didn’t come from effort, but from listening?

In tomorrow’s Soma Movement Meditation, we’ll explore the Controller; the inner intelligence that helps us orient, organize, and move through life with steadiness and choice. Rather than forcing control, this practice invites the body to remember how wise leadership naturally develops.
