Bodies are a Web of Choice & Freedom

Feb 1st: 10am-3pm

The Rebirthing Center: 1027 69th Ave, Philly, PA 19126

Join Julia and Char for a day of somatic learning and exploration

We discuss the Circle Model, a nonhierarchical understanding of our body's stress responses through a critical power lens. We explore accessing more choice and freedom in our stress responses. Then, using myofascial release principles, we practice freeing fascia's patterns of stuckness. We'll build friendly familiarity with our fascia.

After lunch, we practice the body's natural ability to tremor - to increase embodied freedom! Our time on the therapeutic tremor includes a demonstration, several practice opportunities and 1:1 support as you try the tool out for yourself. This is the Resilience Toolkit (not TRE) version of the therapeutic tremor, which is a short practice intended for reset.

Join to:

Feel our individual and collective webs of freedom
Receive 4 pages of take home somatic tools

Tremor Practice Club

A 1-hr community space for folks who have completed one or more tremor workshops or sessions with Char, Sabrina, or Julia.

At Tremor Practice club, we

tremor together, share tea, and journal/share in small groups
learn new ways to interact with our tremors
get support from experienced practitioners to move through any stuck points or challenges with our tremor practice.

Have you learned to tremor before, but want a refresher?

Perhaps you have a home tremor practice - but are looking for ways to expand or deepen your experience.

Practice club is not for first-time learners of tremor - come join us at an intro workshop or immersion instead.
