Class Description

Join Deanna Danger and Rachel Tate this Winter Solstice for a free group class, designed to support the transition into a new season.

This 60-minute virtual gathering explores the somatics of dignity, self-preservation, and seasonally appropriate steps through functional freeze for those working in the community. 

Class will include discussion on the value of cultivating personal somatic practice, exercises to develop enduring boundaries, and practices to support you to integrate accessible & relatable steps centered in choice and agency.

Bonus! The class will finish with an open conversation space and an invitation to connect, share experiences, findings, and time for Q&A with the practitioners.

The intention of this class is primarily educational, with practices aimed at personal somatic inquiry in the season at hand.

Ultimately, your practitioners aim to create space for you to reconnect with your body, process felt experience, and leave with actionable practices that support you through the colder months ahead.

Please note: this class is not considered a group therapy substitute but rather a peer-led offering supported by educated, experienced somatic professionals.
