What the F*** is Somatics?

“Somatics” is everywhere - but what does it mean? From therapy to kink, somatics has become a buzzword. But what does it actually refer to? Who does it serve? And how can it support your rope practice (or your nervous system)?

This 90-minute workshop is an irreverent and body-aware dive into somatic approaches to grounding, play, and resilience. We'll explore what our bodies know, what they don't, and how to meet them where they are with curiosity and care. Expect guided exercises, gentle movement, and thoughtful discussion of how lived experience, race, gender, and other systemic factors shape our access to safety and embodiment.

📚 You Should Know: Somatics is not one-size-fits-all. This class centers critical awareness, not pop-psych advice.

💻 You Should Bring:

Comfortable clothes for low-impact movement

A hank of rope (optional)

A journal or way to reflect
