An Introduction to Connecting Body & Breath through Somato-Respiratory Integration
Healing may be defined as a miraculous unfolding of consciousness for one’s being in the world. We learn who we are, what and who really matter to us, how to express ourselves fully and openly. Ultimately, the healing journey leads to an intimate union with our greater selves through the experience of the flow of spirit within. It is a slow, arduous pass, unique for each individual, filled with danger and risk, triumph and joy, and finally, peace, trust, awe, reverence, love, tenderness.
Somato refers to the body in its present state with all its past history. Respiratory refers to the magic of breath with its ability to bring life to the cells. Through SRI, we bridge the gap between body, breath and movement to offer you a strategy you can take home and utilize as you move through the stages of healing.
In the 12 Stages of Healing, we will be exploring the full range of our individual and collective healing journeys, and learning how to utilize them to fuel our growth towards our best and highest selves. On March 4, we will be beginning this workshop series with an introduction to body and breath connection strategies and an overview of the 12 different exercises representative of the consciousness of each stage of healing.
This workshop series will continue on April 7, May 12 and June 9. Workshops are available as individual sessions or as a series. It is recommended that you either begin or end your series with this overview session. This course is for you if you are curious about learning how to connect to your own health and healing journey, and how to use this information to further your growth towards the brave, bold and beautiful unfolding of your being in this world.
Connect to your body through breath, touch, movement and attention to shift your consciousness and life experience.
PRICING: series, $200. individual class, $60. Includes workshop notes, 12 Stages of Healing book and Somato Respiratory Integration Workbook (series only).

WORKSHOP SCHEDULE
MARCH 3, 1-4PM :: 12 Stages of Healing
Healing is a journey, and in each stage of it there are certain states of consciousness and energy that we can connect to and shift. Learn how the Seasons of Healing (Discover, Transform, Awaken) can be used to help you shift your energetic life experience. We will learn the exercises for all 12 Stages of Healing in a powerful group environment. Find out where you are in your healing journey and what that means for you.
APRIL 7, 1-4PM :: Season of DISCOVER
We will dive into the healing season of Discover, where we focus on connecting to parts of ourselves that have been silenced and tucked away deep into our nervous system. As we tune into these areas and acknowledge them, we are able to release suffering, polarity, and stuckness that holds us back from our full potential.
MAY 12, 1-4PM :: Season of TRANSFORM
The season of Transform is about accessing energy to make things happen in our lives. As we integrate all the parts of who we are into wholeness, we are able to prepare for resolution and achieve resolution, while entering into a place of possibility and connection. Get ready for transformational change!
JUNE 9, 1-4PM :: Season of AWAKEN
In the healing season of Awaken, we experience that we are more than our physical body, and become aware of the flow of life force through and around us. We are able to transcend our physical limits and become renewed beyond these limits. We recognize that wholeness comes from bringing our gifts of individuality into community, and we may choose to re-experience the rhythms of earlier stages to continue to heal and grow.
