What is it?

A recorded experiential workshop for supporting you to meet the world with courage, resourcefulness and chutzpah!

We will tend to the transition from being inwards to turning outwards. We will explore practices to grow a grounded, boundaried and centered foundation for yourself, before coming into uprightness, curiosity and forward momentum, as you step into the world.

Facilitated by somatic practitioners Rachel Blackman & Kate Daisy Grant.

Preparing to Meet The World

The world can be a tricksy and demanding place. Stepping out into it can be daunting. How can we prepare ourselves to do it with grace?

We are a species who are living in demanding times, with multiple distractions and pulls on our attention.

We have come away from our natural cycles of activity and rest. Our technology is often the first thing we look at in the morning, meaning we’re in the thick of the action before we’ve even oriented ourselves to being fully awake.

We also tend to skate over transitions between being one place and another. Assuming they will just take care of themselves. What if we were to also take care of how we are doing the transitions. The Spring Equinox is a perfect time to explore this as the planet herself invites us more fully OUT!

What might it be like to have a few easy practices for building your readiness for this? Practices to help you find yourself before the demands of the world find you first?

In this workshop, we explore neurobiological practices to help you develop a relationship with the transition between being in and being out. Supporting you to step out into the world in touch with your power, goodness and agency.

You will learn easy ways to help you to ground yourself, get centered, and have a sense of your personal boundaries and uprightness.

Then you will be invited into a practice around curiosity, harnessing a natural upswell of forward momentum to take you out into the world with energy and ease.

Here you will be harnessing the medicine of your sympathetic nervous system that handles your get-up-and-go. You will be embodying the ‘Spring’ of your day, harnessing this energy of beginnings and emergence, but rooted in your agency.

'Preparation teaches me that we bend 

so we do not break, 

and that gravity is a field, not a force. 

I am vibration.'

― Leo Lourdes

Is This Workshop For Me?

This workshop is suitable for you if you'd like to learn some practical ways  to feel a solid, embodied sense of self for facing the highs and lows of your day with energy and ‘can-do’ courage. It will also be useful for you if you’d like to have some fresh ways of approaching your day with curiosity, zest and forward moving momentum.

The workshop is open to anyone who lives in a body! Hoorah! 

You might be drawn to this workshop because you are wanting to learn ways of drawing on the deep wells of biological intelligence that is inherently within you. 

You might be looking for opportunities to expand your range or interested in discovering ways of doing things that feel more easeful and aligned with your needs. 

This workshop may not be suitable for you if you are looking for a therapeutic process. This is an experiential learning environment whose focus is assisted self-study.  Whilst this work may have therapeutic benefit, it is not a replacement for therapy.

Your Guides

We are Kate & Rachel. 

We are two somatic practitioners and professional artists who are passionate about supporting you towards a richer experience of aliveness. 

We do this in various ways, utiliseing many different approaches, but the common thread is we start with the knowledge that your nervous system is wise and you are already resourceful, creative and whole. 

Somatics is a body of work that is interested in your unique lived experience. You might think of it as a way of being with ourselves in presence. It assumes that we are a whole creature experiencing ourselves in many aspects. We are a human being and doing, we are a human feeling, sensing, perceiving and of course also thinking. 

Somatics welcomes all of these aspects of experience. 

Kate is a highly experienced body psychotherapist, body oriented coach and artist. You can find more about Kate's private practice here at Body Mind Somatics. 

Rachel is a somatic coach and trainer of coaches. She is also a Feldenkrais practitioner and artist. You can find out more about Rachel's private practice at Vibrant Body.

Together they are writing a book. 

This workshop was the third of a series of public workshops they have run, bringing some of the goodies from their book directly into your hands.
