SOMATIC SORCERY:
AWAKEN THE SENTIENT BODY

How would you like to feel more comfortable in your body, or experience more wonder and connection through your body, whatever your shape, size or ability? Can you imagine even feeling in awe of your beautiful body? Would you like to have greater perceptive awareness, to feel more immersed in all the sensory richness of life, and the deep relations between all beings? Have you ever been curious about how some people seem to move through the world with a natural and effortless grace, or wondered how to have more ease and flow in your life, your work or community?

In this ten week course, I'm sharing skills to gain a fuller felt sense of who you truly are and what stories you are embodying, consciously or otherwise. How to work with and have agency over your movement and gestures to be more exquisitely adaptable with whatever life brings.
 
 

WHAT YOU'LL GET:

Seven weeks of guided meditations, movement exercises and ritual practises, spread over ten weeks, that will help you tune in and listen clearly to your innate body wisdom 
All presented as video and audio recordings to access indefinitely, whenever works and fits with your life 
Access to a fully supported community discussion group for feedback and questions 
Individual feedback with Red if required 
Plentiful further resources and reading materials 

"This is one of the very best classes at The Blackthorne School. It far exceeded my expectations which were high. I recommend it to anyone interested in exploring the spiritual, mythical, creative, and magical dimensions of somatic practices, or really to anyone who wants to experience life fully embodied, as their very best selves. The quality of the materials and the generosity of the instructor cannot be overstated. You don’t want to miss this."
