anchored in body liberation
and decolonial values
These embodiment sessions are facilitated by Laurie or Melanie weekly.
Animist somatic practices for
Somatic practices anchored in Spirit, animism, earth reverence, and ancestral connection adapted from from a variety of lineages that we are trained and mentored in, including:
Somatic Experiencing
Embodied Recovery for Eating Disorders
Transforming Touch (Transforming the Experience-Based Brain)
Forces of Nature: Foundational Approaches to Ritual
NeuroAffective Touch
Embodied Ancestral Inquiry
These are also inspired and nourished by our own ancestral practices and connection.
We are committed to facilitating somatic practices grounded in animist, body liberation, anti-supremacy, and decolonial values, as we believe this is needed in the world at this time.
Rituals for continuing to love the world
Grieving is relational. Grieving is an ancestral skill. As we practice grieving together we are recovering our ancestral practices.
We can be with Grief as an elder who helps us develop capacity to meet these times as an embodied adult.
An ongoing grief practice supports us to tend to personal, lineage, and collective sorrows, encounter our soul medicine, and keep our hearts current.
Guidance for trauma informed practice and care that includes the spiritual, ancestral, and relational
We want to offer this Mentorship in support of the collective:
Melanie and Laurie are bringing our combined 30+ years of experience as practitioners of counseling and somatics, 20 years in trauma informed practice, 40+ years of experience as witches and ritualists, and extensive training in somatics and care lineages.
*We consider ourselves embodiment practitioners and educators anchored in these values rather than experts on anti-supremacy and decolonizing. We have learned from and encourage you to study with and pay Black, Indigenous, Women and Femmes of Color to deepen your own understanding and integration of these movements.
