SOMA ▽ Philosophy
Safety and nervous system regulation are the foundation of transformation. Transformation cannot truly occur if the body does not feel safe or the nervous system is dysregulated. Only from a place of embodied safety can feminine power awaken fully and sustainably.
The practices provide the framework for transformation, allowing it to unfold naturally while opening the gate to limitless expansion.
Through the foundational SOMA ▽ Earth Practices, we learn to trust the ground beneath us, deepen our roots, and rise from a place of support and sustainability. By connecting to the pelvis, the earth, and our voice we root more deeply; by connecting to the heart, we open the sky.
Through the SOMA▽ practices, which include both structured techniques and inner explorations, we deepen in soul nourishment, gentleness, soft strength, self-love, diverse physicality & sexual circulation to cultivate an inner landscape of stability, grace, vitality, patience, sovereignty and sustainable ecstasy. Over time these practices create evolutionary changes: physically, emotionally, sexually and energetically. This becomes the ground for sustainable alchemy. The body naturally opens as a vessel for deeper perception, awareness, expression, and embodied consciousness. We become instruments of grace, surrender, empowered gentleness, truth and love.
The Journey
This journey is the fine-tuning of our ability to radiate intoxicating life force, magnetize our hearts longings & expand into our being, beyond age or measure, regardless of circumstance. We open the gateway to ecstatic states of consciousness and a deeply pleasurable way of engaging with life, allowing us to navigate both beauty and challenge with greater resilience and grace.
Within a safe space for women to honor and ignite the feminine power dormant within us all, we invite love and peace into our field. As stagnant energies release, new life force awakens from within, revealing the immense support system that lives inside our bodies.
Cultivating gentle power through our embodied expression and a grounded inner presence is one of the most revolutionary, transformation acts in which we can engage during these challenging times on earth.
