WORKSHOP: Intro to Somatic Therapy and Body Armour
Posted on September 08 2026
Do you have persistent knots or areas of tension that never seem to go away? Perhaps you've tried stretching, massage, or other approaches, yet the tightness keeps returning. We often attribute these patterns to stress, but what if your body is communicating something deeper?
Join us as we explore body armour and the relationship between the mind, body, and spirit. This introductory workshop offers an opportunity to better understand how chronic patterns of tension may reflect both physical and emotional experiences, and how greater awareness can support healing, vitality, and connection.
What you'll explore:
An exploration of segmental body armour and how chronic tension develops
Gentle, supportive interventions to help soften protective patterns and create more space for authenticity and ease. Learn ways to cultivate greater energy, resilience, and life force. Opportunities to deepen your connection with yourself, others, and experience more freedom in daily life.
