somatic katha: rediscover s.l.o.w. presence®

most of us live with an inner critic who often hinders our path. it can visit as a whisper, a cry, or a severe embodied pain — leaving us feeling tired, unloved, not good enough, incompetent.

this retreat is designed for three days in person and two months online — a space for acknowledging, understanding, and responding to the inner critic through movement arts, writing, and dialogue. we’ll practice responding to the inner critic by offering slow presence and engaging in contemplative somatic practices, dedicated rituals, meditation, and group work.

in hindi, katha means narrative — an expression of story. this retreat is rooted in somatic experience practice (sep), movement arts practices, and writing as tools to lay the foundation for re-creating a new somatic narrative.

s.l.o.w. presence® — a bow to grief and joy

an online, year-long program designed to slowly create space for the grieving heart. many of us don’t have access to grieve for a loss, and many are scared to grieve in anticipation of falling apart.

grief and joy gathering is an invitation to be held in the accompaniment of others and slowly cultivate joy. following the wisdom of the wild edge of sorrow by francis weller and the s.l.o.w. presence® framework, this nine-month gathering offers a sacred container for transformative learning experiences.
