Somatic Stress Release Introductory Practices

Spend 90-minutes learning about and practicing Somatic Stress Release. We will begin to engage with the stress response cycle identifying activation, practicing mobilization, noticing de-activation and experiencing restoration. You will leave with a number of new tools to use in your daily practice. Whether you are just returning to your body and feelings or have an ever growing practice of self-resourcing techniques and practices, you can engage with the workshop from where you are in this moment.

Location: Zoom

When: Saturday, June 14 at 2pm ET/11am PT

To Prepare: You will need 2-3 pieces of paper, a writing utensil, a room where you can easily move around, a device with a camera (so I can see you), pillows and blankets (at least one of each). Optional- yoga mat

Payment: Zelle to Karen@wishyouknew.net or I can send you a payment link to allow you to pay with card.

Cost: I am committed to an economic justice based, sliding-scale pricing approach. I strongly believe holistic health support should not be limited to only those in a highly secure economic status. I will not ask you for justification on your choice, I simply ask you view all of the information in each drop down menu and decide which price point best matches your economic stability (and am aware this may change). If these feel out of reach for you, some scholarships are available so please reach out.
