Healing as activism. Workshops, facilitation, and coaching for collective liberation.

Singing together is something all of our ancestors have done, but it can still feel awkward when first leaning into this practice 🙃

Many of us hold so much shame around our voices and being vulnerable in general 🌀

Buttt ultimately these voices in your head telling you that you can’t sing or that you need to try to be “cool” rather than real are serving the state and the maintaining of a harmful status quo 🙈

I don’t know about you but I’d rather be cringe in my earnest care than suppressed, judgmental, and apathetically complicit in violence 🚫

It’s time to resist the internalized logic of the dominant culture and rewire our internal voices by opening up to liberatory, ancestral practices that bring us together like communal singing 🌝

If you’re IN on this mission, join me in Santa Cruz this Sunday July 5 for RESONANCE: building belonging through singing and sharing ✨

ASHLAND — don’t miss this next Wednesday!

Dancing Through Discomfort
6-8 pm at Studio Z on 7/8

A potent 2-hour deep dive into the wisdom of the body and somatic practice supported by “dance,” a more familiar format for authentic movement.

This space will provide education about the nervous system, help you apply it to how your body responds to discomfort, and guide you in a practice of moving this energy through your body so you can access more empowered choice and emotional resilience in your life.

✨ Spots are limited ✨

What others are saying:

“I absolutely loved this workshop”

“I went from ‘I can’ to ‘I can’t’”

“I walked into the space with little hope for something I’ve been holding for far too long, and walked away with hope as the somatic density and memory left my body for the first time, ever”

I’m offering another healing & connective song circle before leaving Santa Cruz for the summer!

Singing is a healing somatic practice, and so is sharing our hearts and being seen and heard.

I hope you’ll join me to open your voice in many ways in this nourishing and intimate container

At Aptos Beloved Community in Santa Cruz

PNW: Catch me on tour this summer!

Dancing through Discomfort
From emotional reactivity to emotional resilience
A 2-hour experiential workshop for bodies ready to feel and heal

As beautiful as our values and intentions may be, many of us still carry old patterns of emotional reactivity that limit our ability to gracefully navigate challenges in our relationships and communities. By bringing awareness to these patterns and learning how to tend to them, we can meet these hard moments with more empowered choice and emotional resilience.

In this 2-hour workshop, facilitated by Somatic Experiencing Practitioner Lux Gypsum, you’ll explore your inherited patterns of emotional reactivity and discover how they can be transformed through embodied awareness, movement, and self-compassion.

“I walked into the space with little hope for something I’ve been holding for far too long, and walked away with hope as the somatic density and memory left my body for the first time, ever.”

“I feel more free in my body now”

The only way out is through 🔥

If you know or suspect that you have suppressed feelings you haven’t been able to access or make space for…

I’d love to invite you into a container to tend them together 💛

Because your feelings need your presence.

If you don’t actually feel them, you’re likely to either repeat the same patterns that got you here or play it so safe that you avoid going after the life you want.

If you’re ready to process these past pains so you can finally move towards your future, let’s talk 💛

Somatic Experiencing could be the ingredient you’re missing to find the transformation you’re looking for ✨
