What it is

The Embodiment Ritual is a completely customized somatic practice through which you will claim the power to transform your life from the inside out. To create your ritual, we will meet in two virtual 1:1 sessions.

Social permaculture uses the concept of Zones to map the ecosystem of your life from your inner landscape to the outer world, taking stock of the patterns, relationships, environments, and social contexts that shape your experience.

In the Embodiment Ritual, we will approach your body as Zone 0 — the place in which you wield the most influence and personal power. From this seat of agency, we will partner to activate the life you desire through physical skill-building, affirmations, and embodied action.

why it works

What we practice in the body influences all other areas of our lives. In Western science and culture, the mind has historically been granted a higher status than the body — but as somatic research deepens, studies show that the body is the first layer through which we experience life. Even when the mind contains contradictions, the body reveals your truth.

In the Embodiment Ritual, we will approach the body as an access point to the whole psyche. We’ll employ movement as a metaphor for change and a means for reclaiming, expressing, and strengthening undernourished parts of yourself.

Your Embodiment Ritual then becomes a living expression of the life you long to experience. Through embodied practice, you’ll teach your cells new ways of being — aligning body, mind, and spirit with the changes you desire.

How it works

• To start, you and I will meet online for an hour-long conversation. During this time, we’ll uncover what areas of your life aren’t feeling so great — including the felt experience of your body, as well as mental, emotional, and relational patterns. We’ll explore how you would rather feel, what you wish to experience, and what you hope to create with your one wild and precious life.

• Between our two 1:1 sessions, I will design an embodiment practice customized to your unique needs. Based on what we discover in our first meeting, your ritual may also incorporate tailored affirmations, questions for self-inquiry, breathwork, self-massage, connecting with symbols or archetypes, and actions to pursue beyond the exercise mat.

• In our second online meeting, I will guide you step-by-step through your personalized Embodiment Ritual. The session will be recorded for you to use for ongoing practice. You’ll also receive a detailed written outline of your ritual. Together, we’ll schedule the timing and frequency of your solo practices so you may receive the greatest benefit from this commitment to yourself.
