I know for a fact you’ve been feeling it… the dominating, dehumanizing systems everywhere increasingly trying to lull us to sleep in our bodies and in our lives; to negate, reject, and utterly disregard our bodies. To leave them and live apart from them in ways that make us excellent perpetual consumers, constantly searching for a feeling that ever eludes us. To convince us of the lie that we are innately helpless, powerless, and alone.
I’m here to tell you that throughout my past decade of deep somatic exploration, personally and professionally, I have discovered the truth: that your body is a wise and powerful spiritual teacher, and that devoted partnership with your body is the path of utmost abundance and greatest vitality. That there is a primal, honest way of being that is innately in you, that only needs to be remembered and protected.
Embodiment is not an increased conceptual awareness of the body. Embodiment is easeful, authentic, primal expressions in and through the body — letting the body tell the truth, at all times, in all ways. Embodiment must be EMBODIED. Actually. Truly. Embodiment is a cultivated practice that safeguards your sacred vitality and protects your sanity.
That is what we’re remembering together, in The Refuge.
I spent the first phase of my career talking about embodiment, unknowingly framing it as a concept to understand with the mind. That was a necessary foundation to begin with, and was legitimately revolutionary at the time – for someone raised in such profoundly disembodied and dissociative religious and cultural spaces. And after ten years, I’ve accumulated more than my “10,000 hours” of mastery in the skill of verbal facilitation.
Publicly, I was building a successful 1:1 coaching business, creating best-selling online resources, and developing my nervous system focused bodywork practice. All very professional, appropriate, and tame. Privately, however, I was beginning to connect with my body in wild, weird, and unexpected ways. And experiencing incredible, unprecedented transformation. I started studying my own experience and assembling a Living Body of Work, a collection of tools and practices for reawakening the Primal Body.
And now, I’m ready to share it with you.
For three months, I’m bringing everything I’ve learned and created during past decade, all my in-depth training from yoga to energy medicine to somatics to hands-on bodywork to conscious movement, and some of the best people/ greatest teachers I know… into this revolutionary communal container. This Refuge. This Wild Life Sanctuary.
Here’s what to expect:
-12 online gatherings over 13 weeks, from Imbolc to Beltane (February 1 - May 1)
-FIVE of the most brilliant women I know will be joining us as guest teachers throughout the container, and I absolutely cannot wait to introduce them to you
-free access to all of my foundational materials: You Are Your Own ebook, Your Body is a Person online course + physical workbook, Log Off and Tune In (to your body) workshop + 60 page zine
-free access to my membership space, and all gatherings and events hosted there, throughout the duration of the container
-Telegram group chat for community support and connection in between gatherings
-a tailored daily movement practice infusing elements of yoga, bowspring, energy medicine, conscious movement, breathwork, and more
-ability to book 1:1 sessions with me (no longer avaialable to the public)
-first dibs + discount code for The Refuge Retreat, hosted at Bask Retreat Center in May 2026
We will gather for 2 hours from 4-6pm PST on Tuesdays. You do not have to attend every gathering live, as all recordings will be provided, but I am strongly encouraging everyone to commit to attending as many gatherings live as possible — as that’s where the juicy stuff happens.
Because even as more of my work moves offline, I’m creating The Refuge online, on purpose. Moving in honest, authentic ways in our bodies can feel scary. Gathering in online spaces can help disarm our fight/ flight response so we can practice freely while still receiving connection and support. The Refuge is a space to practice a way of being... but practice doesn’t make “perfect” because perfect is not what we’re after. Practice makes possible.
