What Your Body Already Knows
Discovering Your Inner Wisdom Through Embodied Listening

About

Your body is not a mystery or problem to be solved—it is a guide that’s been speaking to you all along, even if you may not always understand its language. In this experiential workshop, we’ll explore the deep wisdom our bodies hold, even when we don’t immediately understand it.

Through embodied listening, curiosity, and presence, we’ll learn how to tune in to our body’s messages about needs/wants, boundaries, values, relationships, and how to navigate the world within and around us.

What Your Body Already Knows is not about fixing anything.
It’s about shifting your relationship to your internal experience — from managing and critiquing, toward curiosity and kind attention.

What we’ll be doing together:

• Practicing how to slow down enough to notice what’s happening internally

• Exploring where you tend to push past signals vs. listen to them

• Relating to discomfort, tension, or emotion as information rather than problems

• Experimenting with embodied boundaries (where is your yes / no / not sure yet)

• Moving between individual reflection, small group work, and large group integration

There will also be a long midday break for rest and integration, which is intentionally part of the experience.

You’ll leave with simple yet powerful practices to access your body’s inner knowing, trust your own signals, and increase your ability to lead with clarity, care, and courage.

This workshop may resonate if you:

• Tend to live in your head more than your body

• Notice yourself pushing through or overriding your needs

• Feel curious about relating to yourself in a different way

• Want a space to explore without needing to “get it right”

Holding Without Carrying
Reclaiming Our Energy, Redefining Support, and Repatterning Emotional Labor in our relationships with men

About

What does it mean to care deeply for men—partners, sons, fathers, brothers, friends and colleagues—without abandoning or overextending yourself? Many women have been socially conditioned to carry the emotional weight in relationships—to be the seer, the feeler, the strategist, the guide or therapist. We often attune so finely to men’s inner lives and potential that we begin to shape-shift ourselves in response, investing energy into who they could become rather than meeting them where they are.

This workshop is a space to gently examine how we’ve come to over-function in service of men’s growth, often at the cost of our own clarity, capacity, and well-being as well as at a cost to their own growth and responsibility. Together, we’ll name the patterns we didn’t consciously choose, explore new ways of relating that preserve connection without the self-sacrifice that eventually leads to resentment, and practice support rooted in self-trust, clarity, honesty, directness and mutual responsibility. You’ll leave with tools to stop carrying what isn’t yours—and to relate in ways that are honoring, discerning, and free.

Timing

We will be gathering from 9am to 5pm. There will be a 2 hour break from 12pm-2pm in order to grab lunch, and a couple of smaller breaks in between.
