The Embodied Living hallmark is one of fostering deep safety in community, where people are held so they can feel free to learn, unlearn, and practice relating authentically to self, others and whatever arises in life.
This workshop is an opportunity to delight in your curiosities of the body and patterns that live within, with Jess and Syd as your guides (my faves!). I walked away with more grace for myself, and empowered to be the author of my own life experience.
