“The mind is like the wind and the body like the sand: if you want to know how the wind is blowing , you can look at the sand.” Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen
Finding ease and grace in the mind and body is accessible to all. Through gentle movement and mindfulness practices, we will explore tools that settle the nervous system, bring ease and efficiency to our movement and discover our own agency in integrating practices that sustain our well being.
Somatics is a field of movement studies and bodywork that foregrounds the body's internal physical sensations, perceptions, and experiences.Through somatic practices, there is an opportunity to listen to the inherent wisdom of the body. We tap into the subtle body supported by our sensory system and inner awareness. The body is honored not as a performative tool but as a gateway to the present moment and a holder of stories, both difficult and delightful, that can when explored cultivate a path toward living with ease and authenticity.
There are many modalities for this work. The work that Kate embraces utilizes embodied meditation, guided breath, and natural movement practices that allow us to drop into what is held in the body. She offers a supported touch to enhance the inner experience. There is a collaborative development of somatic practices that can be incorporated into daily life and practiced independently. Her work is deeply respectful of the pace and process of the participant and is trauma-informed.
