Reconnect
Somatic Practices to return to yourself
In this 6 week group, we will explore an introduction to somatic practices, to support you to turn inwards and reconnect with your body. This group draws on Focusing (a body-based practice, developed by Eugene Gendlin) and Narrative practice. Each week, we will do a practice together and have time for reflective journaling and group discussion.
This group may be for you if:
You want to reclaim your relationship with your body
You have been told to listen to your body, but you’re not sure where to start
You’ve been implicitly or explicitly taught not to trust or listen to your emotions, sensations or needs
You’re curious about the idea of embodiment and would like to learn more
You want to tap into the wisdom of your body, as a valuable source of knowledge
*Please note - This group is not suitable if you are currently experiencing a crisis.
