Somatic Practice & Support Group
With Leilani Wong Navar
$25
Place: Online (Zoom)
Date: Wednesday, Aug 5
Time: 5:00 pm - 6:15 pm
Movement and awareness practices for emotional wellness, drawn from traditional qigong and meditation as well as modern somatics.
These practices are helpful for moving stuck energy related to the emotions happening in our personal lives as well as our pain for the world, and helpful for cultivating more capacity and resilience.
While most of this session time will be dedicated to somatic practice, we will also have time for optional sharing about a current grief, anger, or other pain each of us experiencing. With those in our awareness, we can bring them into the movement practices for release and resourcing. We'll reflect together after the practices as well.
For this session, you will need space to stand in, and a comfortable place to sit. If you need to practice lying down, sitting, or in stillness and using only visualization, all these practices are adaptable to those needs.
About the Somatic Resource and Support Group
This space is open to anyone who would like to gather with the community to learn and engage in somatic (body-based) practices for soothing and release.
In these sessions, we explore a range of somatic (body-based) practices designed to cultivate a profound sense of safety, grounding, and empowerment. These include guided meditations, breathing exercises, gentle movement, body awareness explorations, and heartfelt group sharing, you'll tap into the depths of your own bodily sensations, emotions, and inner wisdom. Our circle is led by an incredible group of experienced facilitators, ensuring you receive the guidance and support you need along the way.
Our Assistant Director at School for the Great Turning and host of Turning Season Podcast, Leilani is also a practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine. She has been practicing qigong, martial arts and meditation for over 20 years. These somatic practices are essential to her well-being and full participation in the Great Turning. In her clinical practice, Leilani supports people dealing with pain, disease, infertility, and stress, using acupuncture, herbal medicine, modern functional medicine, CranioSacral Therapy, and dreamwork. With groups, she facilitates the Work that Reconnects and teaches courses on practical wisdom from Chinese Medicine.
