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 archetypal realm is bridge between our interior and exterior world. The environments and landscapes around us hold ancient, timeless wisdom about the natural rhythms and cycles we all must traverse in this lifetime. Engaging with these realms through contemplative and creative practice enables individuals and groups to come into a symbiotic relationship with life around them. The more we come into coherence with ourselves, the more ease and beauty will arise within our everyday experience because we are no longer fighting nature, our nature and the natural world abound.

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.

agrahana

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.

These maps support individuals and groups to become conscious of their unique essence and come into a coherent expression of themselves. The Human Design looks into the body, form, and cognition of someone. It's a more embodied exploration of essence. Someone's design points to how their energy system is designed to express itself, how they are meant to make decisions, their innate gifts, capacities, and tendencies, and how they are influenced by the world around them. Astrology reveals the mythopoetic story that is unfolding through you in space and time. Holding these systems together offers a comprehensive view of how to create more coherence with soul. I follow phasic processes, align my practice with the cycles of the moon, and consider key astrological transits in order to support resonance between individuals, groups, and the collective.​​
