This two-hour somatic circle is an invitation to release — to clear space in your body and heart — before calling in what you truly desire in this season.

Together, we’ll embody and move emotions that we can tend to bottle up: rage, anger, grief, fear, joy, laughter — whatever often feels like “too much” for ourselves or based on social norms. Through guided somatic practices using presence, breath, sound, and movement, you’ll be invited to release what your soma is holding onto, at your own pace, with choice and gentleness.

After we release, we’ll move into a guided pleasure-focused manifestation practice to embody something we deeply desire, and feel what it would actually be like if that desire came true.

This is for anyone ready to let go, be seen, and call in their desires. You are welcome as you are. Bring your rage, your tenderness, your joy — and let your body lead.

You’re welcome to come alone or with (a) partner(s). All practices are self-led, with no partnered touch or sexual contact. Wear something comfy that you can move around in. And, (optional) bring something related to your desire that you’d like to place on our altar.

Bio:

Chrissy Stachl is a trauma-informed somatic empowerment coach, and facilitator. She is a former academic, has a PhD in Chemistry, and has lived several other professional lives — in neuroscience, medicine, and STEM education.

Her 1:1 work supports high-achieving people of all genders who have all the markers of what society deems as “successful” on paper, but feel disconnected, overextended, unfulfilled or quietly exhausted inside — like there can or should be more to life. In her coaching container, we slow down. We listen to the body. We unwind patterns of over-functioning, people-pleasing, and self-abandonment in pursuit of external validation. And we build the capacity to live and choose from alignment instead of social norms. Chrissy is trained in trauma-informed facilitation and specializes in creating containers where emotional expression can happen with safety as choice, context, and connection.

✨ WHAT IS THE SOMATIC PLAYGROUND? ✨

🌟 Embodiment classes on Mondays from some of your favorite SoulPlay teachers and more!

🌟 A place for you to learn, embody, and grow somatic, primal, emotional, energetic intelligence

🌟 A space to co-create community with an embodied common language around relating, intimacy, sensuality, and sexuality

🌟 An opportunity to slow down, connect, and move at the pace of trust

🌟 A time to have fun, move, and dance together!

Join us for a series of collaborative exploration at The Somatic Playground! These in-person events will take place on Mondays 7-10pm

Get ready to immerse yourself in a unique experience of connecting with yourself and others in a playful, expressive, & intimate way. Through various somatic exercises and activities, you'll discover new ways to move, connect, let go, and build trust with those around you.

Whether you're a seasoned dancer or have never stepped foot on a dance floor before, this event welcomes everyone. We're cultivating a thoughtful space to explore your body's language, express yourself freely, and connect with like-minded individuals.

In the Somatic Playground, we will cultivate a community of somatic attunement and relational intelligence. Each week, a different facilitator will guide you on a journey of research, play, and practice, honing your abilities to dive into your somatic, emotional, primal, energetic, and relational bodies - learning to listen through touch and taste the pathway of motion. An open jam will follow as a way to continue exploring together sparks and curiosities from class.

So, mark your calendars and come join us at The Somatic Playground for an evening filled with exploration, movement, touch, and connection. Don't miss out on this opportunity to let loose, meet new people, and discover the joy of moving at the rhythm of connection and trust.

🌟 Our Community Agreements

As teachers, facilitators, and participants, while we support everyone engaging with sovereignty (making good choices for themselves and others), we also understand that trauma has huge influence on people's behavior and experience, so we are trauma informed in the ways we teach, engage, and/or participate in these classes. We also recognize and continue to learn to be aware of the power dynamics that exist or might arise as we engage, and seek to level the playing field of power whenever possible, and engage with utmost attunement and consideration for each other.

Erotic energy may emerge but is not the goal. Sensual touch is welcome - we are exploring all that is possible in terms of how we relate to each other through sensing. S3xual touch is not a part of this container. Please reach out with any questions.

🌟 Diversity and Inclusion

For each class series, we seek to include a diverse group of facilitators to express the full range of humanness, bodies, and experience around race, age, gender, identity, sex, sexual orientation, and more. Some series may appear at first glance to favor some subgroups, and while may be accurate that this is what was available at the time, we continue to include facilitators who fit all of these subgroups.

Similarly, and in collaboration with the Bloom/Plura App/Community, we seek to include a diverse group of humans and celebrate all experiences, bodies, and experiences, especially of those who have historically been less favored or appreciated.

Please reach out with any questions.

🌟 Refunds or Transfer

If it ever turns out that a class isn't for you or that you missed a class for any reason, we'll be happy to either refund you or allow you to come to a future class instead. No problem 🫶
