The Phoenix of the Heart - a Ritual of Renewal - a musical movement container to engage with pleasure & connection as medicine for renewal, personally & collectively
.
A ritual of self-renewal and community connection using breath, meditation, sound, movement, self-touch, partner yoga/ Thai massage, and connection/ self-expression games
.
This event acknowledges our current position in time and space, as we contend with numerous challenges and changes personally and collectively. When our nervous systems are dysregulated, we will be challenged in attuning to others and in expressing ourselves clearly. So we pause and listen to ourselves. We open to new expressions of life that want to shine through us.
.
Our bodies and minds can suffer or heal based on the stories we hold about ourselves and others. In this ritual container, we will use the phoenix story to guide us on our journey from pain to power, from fear to freedom. We begin by forming a deep connection with ourselves and understanding what has brought us to our current state. We take time to attend to the art of slowing down - our breath, touch, and movement⦠We ground our nervous systems and find power and strength in our expansive center. Once we feel centered and whole in our own right, the phoenix of the heart rises again, and we begin to reach out to one another.
.
We reach out to one another to see reflections of the divine, reflections of ourselves, and meet them with grace, curiosity, and honoring. We become mirrors for each other's radiance. We practice inquiry, consent, stating our boundaries, and making requests as we move into partner-supported stretches, massage exchanges, and counter-balancing poses. We share our intentions and desires in words, sounds, and mindful touch. We pause often to check in with ourselves and each other. Ultimately, we will check in as a group and be guided in a breathful meditation to digest and integrate our experience.

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.

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. Sexual touch is not a part of this container. Please reach out with any questions.
.
.
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 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.

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 π«Ά
