Hi everyone, beautiful to read all your intros and feel the common threads. I am a meditation guide, somatic practitioner and family constellations facilitator based in NYC. I am in transition from leaving my corporate job and following my calling to move into this deep work full time. For a long time now, I've been aware of how meditation instruction in a lot of retreat spaces is specifically tailored to male bodies and how it can often send women (including myself) deeper into freeze (albeit with a positive valence). My own journey connecting into my cycle, my womb space, working through boundary ruptures and repair and contacting healthy "fight" response has been profound and I am excited to be in this community together. I have been eyeing Soma School for awhile but since I'm in transition I'm not able to make a financial commitment as this time, so I'm very grateful for this space in the interim <3 Also sharing an image that's coming up for me!
