Bi-Weekly Virtual Somatic Classes
A sacred space to bring it all and somatically process.
Think freestyle dance, meets meditation, meets shamanic journey-esque as you drop into the well of wisdom in your body.
You can treat this experience like ceremony, therapy, or a sanctuary to quiet your mind and commune with your body.
Let your grief wail, your rage rage, your wise woman knowing simmer — or simply rest, restore, and be.
You can have an intention, or not know what you’re showing up with at all.
It’s about showing up, period.
And whatever arises is perfect.
Step into this space and tap into the intelligence of your body and nervous system, learning how it speaks, how to work with it, and how to be led by it, so that you can shine from the inside out was so much more ease.
The body is the missing link between psychology and spirituality.
Bi-Weekly Virtual Somatic Classes
Somatic Journey Classes
This can be a high-energy experience with lots of movement, or very restorative, and you can stay curled up in a ball under blankets the whole time if you wish.
You get to follow your body and energy — every single class.
There is no wrong way to do it.
There are no rigid rules.
It’s about attuning to the current in your body and being led.
The Flow —
We'll start with a few minutes of silence to light a candle, take some flower essences, and incorporate any sort of personal ritual you wish to open — or you can simply sit in silence with your breath.
This will be followed by a facilitated somatic drop-in into your body, your space, and your being.
This whole first portion will be time to start orienting to any intentions you may have, what is present for you, and what’s arising or coming up that day.
Then Abby will play some music so you can move, dance, stretch, self-hold, or bring any sort of touch, sounding, or stillness in that you are called to continue with from the opening drop-in
We'll come back to stillness, you will be guided within to meet a part — whatever arises — and will then be guided through a somatic process with that part.
From there, you'll have 10 minutes or so of silence to integrate, and stay with what comes up,whether that means journaling, more movement, ranting out loud, shaking, sivassna, whatever. Then Abby will slowly bring you back out with a song, some sort of poem or reading, and some body guidance to ground before closing.
Each class will vary in the smaller details, but there will always be some culmination of meditative-like guidance, movement, sounding, breathwork, and self-touch or holding, as you heighten your awareness to every little sensation in your body and tune into any messages available.
What to bring —
Have a candle to light, and any sort of flower essences, oils, or ritualistic items you enjoy working with. Make sure you have the privacy you need to feel comfortable dropping in. Wear comfortable clothing, maybe layers, and have a little space to move.
Logistical notes –
This is virtual and will be held via Zoom. It’s appreciated if you start with your camera on as we log in, at least as we begin. This does help connect and ground the field in the live space. You will be muted, aside from invitational, optional short shares (depends on timing). And you are welcome to tilt or shift your screen, and turn off your video if you prefer at any time.
This class is recorded. The replay will be emailed to those registered, and access will last two weeks, or until the next class. Only Abby’s screen will be recorded. If you decide to share or speak, your voice will be recorded, but not your face.
Every other Monday, 11 am - noon PST
The recording will be emailed within a couple of hours of the live class ending.
Bring your inner witch, inner bitch, and inner child.
Bring your magic and your shadows, and what feels broken and radiantly whole.
We aren’t talking or sharing — we are listening within, being led by our bodies, alchemizing, and moving energy.
