AGRAHANA

GROUP IMMERSION

a transformative container for established, emerging, and curious artists, creatives, dreamers, leaders, facilitators, and visionaries 

A 12-week journey exploring sacred systems, somatic practice, expressive movement, myth, contemplation, and artistic rituals to heal and liberate creative potential 

 

Weaving together an ecosystem of practices from ancient traditions and modern science, this space brings together the realms of embodiment, art, and self-realization…because consciously entering into a metamorphic process is deeply linked to activating creativity and novel expression. Born from over a decade of personal practice, formal studies, and direct experience, this is a deep, integral space in service of regeneration across every dimension of your inner and outer life.

​We will explore the relationship between your physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual body through the practice of Agrahana, working with the innate intelligence of the body to heal itself through conscious connection with archetypal energetics, natural developmental movements, and organic patterns. You will learn a novel practice that supports you in deeply attuning to your body and consciously freeing up bound energy. This practice reveals that your astrology is not an idea or concept, but rather, a somatic experience.

From this place, we will explore mythic worlds, expressive movement, and artistic rituals to activate creative potentials within you…and how expression serves to integrate healing and open new pathways for individual and collective transformation. In other words, we’ll make art that goes beyond social norms and the aesthetic alone. Rather, art in support of conscious evolutionary process.

THE METHOD

A DEVELOPMENTAL PROCESS THAT INVOKES SOUL, ACTIVATES CREATIVITY, AND LANDS YOU INTO ESSENCE;

A PATH WHERE HEALING AND CREATIVITY ARISE FROM THE SAME SPACE.

so• ma

 

 

SO•MA is an emergent, holistic practice space that integrates formal studies, trainings, and established modalities alongside my direct experience within the realms of somatic healing, embodiment, mindfulness, ancient spiritual tradition, regenerative development, strategy, design, and the arts. It lives within a vitalistic paradigm of healing that focuses on wholeness rather than what needs to be "fixed"; that emphasizes potentials over problems. In this work, the body is recognized as a living system with an innate intelligence and capacity to regenerate itself towards greater health when the right environment and conditions are cultivated. People, communities, and places carry a unique essence that is yearning to be expressed and woven into something greater than itself.

 

To feel fully alive and on purpose, we must allow our deepest, most authentic expression to take root in our life. SO•MA takes a multi-faceted approach to healing and regenerating relationship with self, other, and Nature. To explore, feel, and experience these relationships, we will work with and integrate realms that are often exist or are practiced in silos: astrology, human design, somatics, embodiment, meditation, mindfulness, myth, contemplation, and artistic expression.

 

Embodiment practices, such as seated and moving meditation, authentic movement, somatic and emotional release, and subtle energy work enable individuals and groups to resource themselves and develop the capacity to meet life in novel ways that the mind alone is not equipped for. From an established nervous system and emotional environment, the higher mind can see more clearly and develop insight into present and future potentials, such as new relationships, career pathways, home environments, or artistic avenues.

The path of healing and creativity are one and the same. Art is how your presence and being meets the world. Ceremony and ritual are meeting spaces for the alchemy of self-realization and art. SO•MA invites a beautiful possibility: as you create art, you will meet the truth of yourself. Establishing a creative practice - rooted in rhythm, ritual and immersive play - paves the way for deeper insights into yourself and what you desire to co-create with the world at-large.

Healing is a process of becoming more and more whole. The body, the seat of one's being, is a living system designed to regenerative itself and evolve over the course of one's lifetime. The human nervous system is fulcrum for a thriving life. Trauma takes root if we were not given the support to move through and complete essential early developmental cycles, or were unable to fully process our experience at any point in our life. Trauma patterns constrict movement and expression, severe critical relationships, and pause the natural evolution of person or place. They often prevents individuals from fully engaging with themselves or others, and manifests as physical, emotional or mental challenges, such as anxiety or depression, which inhibits imagination and innovation. In other words, we become disembodied.

 

Embodiment is the capacity to stay connected to our felt, present-moment experience, which allows us to move towards novel, mysterious, emergent edges in our lives without collapsing into fear and worry. By learning to attune oneself, meet foundational needs, and express unprocessed emotions or experiences in the presence of love and care, the body can return to safety and free up essential resources and energy to be directed towards generative, creative endeavors.

We will explore this dimension through a body a work known as Agrahana, which explores how to consciously unwind restrictive patterns by working directly with the human nervous system. We will explore elemental and planetary energetics within the body alongside specific movements that support healthy development and emotional expression.

geometry of grace

 

 

This space is anchored by the integration of sacred systems — archetypal maps of consciousness that orient individuals to their unique energy system and story in this life — through the Geometry of Grace paradigm. Sacred systems, such as astrology, have been used across cultures for centuries as maps of human consciousness with the recognition that the sky and earth are mirrors of our true nature. The moment we are born, we are imprinted with the energy of the cosmos, a unique signature that meets the continually changing world over the course of our lifetime.

THE PATH

A LOOK INTO THE SPACES WE'LL EXPLORE

a 12-week group journey

LEARN THE AGRAHANA MOVEMENT PRACTICE

Over the course of 12 weeks, we will move through a carefully designed developmental process, resting upon an ancient pattern woven into the Cosmos itself. Each week we spend the first hour of our time in guided somatic practice. You will come through the journey having learned, practiced, and integrated the Agrahana Movement practice, which supports deep, sustainable nervous system healing and evolution. If you cultivate a practice over our time together, you will be able to take yourself through this practice at home. 

 

 

MOVE THROUGH A DEVELOPMENTAL JOURNEY

After we practice, we will move through lesson content, other embodiment practices, contemplations, and collective reflection to explore themes such as:

  • the earliest years of your life: how this time shaped your present-day relationship with yourself

  • feeling your body as ground: the nervous system as a fulcrum for health and resilience

  • the undifferentiated and differentiated Self: attuning to your needs and desires

  • unhealthy/healthy defense patterns and compassionate boundaries

  • consciously relating with emotions as messengers and how to move with them

  • moving with your inner experiences to explore beyond edges into new possibilities

  • developing authentic intimacy with self and other

  • cultivating eros: sensuality and erotic expression

  • connecting to the subtle and establishing sacred practice

  • your purpose in this life: your embodied expression of essence and Soul

  • your creative expression as a pathway of liberation

  • relating with the collective body

  • consciously letting go to let come

Each week there will be space to share what’s arising within your life and practice, and hear from others. There will also moments where you can be witnessed in your process, embodied expression and creative explorations, if you desire. This is a powerful pathway to directly experiencing conscious community, courageously revealing your emergent self, and practicing healthy ways of relating with others.

 

CULTIVATE AND DEEPEN YOUR CREATIVE PRACTICE

Throughout this process, you will be encouraged to maintain a devoted daily practice that brings in meditation, somatic movement, and creative outlets. Over time, this will support you in building and maintaining a body and nervous system with the capacity to source visionary possibilities and generate novel creative expressions through you. In between sessions, you will received contemplations and practice possibilities to support you in feeding your explorations and artistry.

”Kathi entered my life during its most transformative phase yet. Lost in the maze of spirituality, I struggled to discern reality from illusion. With Kathi's guidance, I found clarity, reconnecting with my body and releasing decades of stagnant energy. She led me not only to my truth but also to a deeper understanding of my pleasure and erotic energy, vital life force energy I hadn't realized was missing.

 

In addition, her expertise in sacred systems has been a game-changer, providing a framework for my healing journey and connecting me to nature in profound ways. Kathi's impact on my life has been immeasurable, guiding me back to my essence; my true nature with wisdom and grace. I am forever grateful for the impact she has had on my life.”
