An offering from Rivers Edge Somatics + Firelight Embodiment

Do you identify as someone committed to change in your community? Are you a community organizer committed to social justice or liberatory movements? Perhaps you long to be engaged in this work and don’t know how to begin?

The intensity of the political landscape is demanding more of us, individually and collectively. We are hearing from many people that they’re feeling powerless, overwhelmed, and confused. Many of us are feeling pulled in many directions trying to put out the quickly multiplying fires and are struggling to take skillful action. Our nervous systems are flooded with information daily and it's taking a toll. As the pressure builds, you might find yourself falling into similar patterns that keep you from living in alignment with your deepest values.

If this feels true, you’re not alone.

It makes sense we feel powerless inside of all the rapid changes we are facing. We believe that one of the biggest lies told to us is that we are powerless. Somatics is a path of practice that supports us to reconnect to our own power and take skillful action. It deepens our awareness of our own reactive patterns and helps us learn how to keep moving toward what we care about even when we’re under pressure. We practice connecting with our own embodied agency and power because we have the potential to influence the conditions of our lives and this world. Somatic practice also invites us to claim our full aliveness even as the conditions of the world try to separate us from it.
