Somatic Process Group

A dynamic and experiential space fostering deep authentic connection with self, others and the World around us.

The most profound training I have received, was from The Radical Aliveness Institute in California. It is unique in the sense that it takes a psychological model that focuses on inner and inter personal experience and expands it to include the systemic. Therefore, working with all levels of the human experience; the body, emotions, expression, movement, sensations, thoughts, beliefs, spirit, culture and systems. Radical Aliveness is a non-expert model, inviting all participants to lead from their authenticity and truth. It is about finding inner power so it becomes easier to create a life from a place of flow, while taking responsibility for self and assisting those around us. We will honour complexity and welcome all that is present.

This group will give you the opportunity to engage in a unique and dynamic setting that fosters deeper self-awareness, emotional resilience, and a stronger mind-body connection. By participating in this group, you’ll engage relationally with others while doing your interpersonal work and fostering meaningful connections. This supportive and playful environment encourages authentic expression, helping you to break through blocks that hold you back. Here we can open up to our life-force energy and stand empowered within ourselves.

Whether you're seeking to improve your overall well-being, navigate life's challenges with greater ease, or simply explore what is alive within you, a somatic process group offers invaluable benefits that can profoundly enhance your personal growth and give you a greater sense of self.

Throughout our time together, we will work with The Radical Aliveness Principles as part of our group agreements;

Cultivating a Non-Shaming Heart and Attitude; This is where we can see our own and other people’s goodness, a place where vulnerability can emerge so that deep healing can occur.

Knowing I do not know; we can know what is true for us, but we do not really know what is truth for others unless we allow ourselves to get curious and be open, rather than judge and assume.

Welcoming Multiple Perspectives; when we know our perspectives, we have the opportunity to hear a variety of others, even if we do not always agree. This world is full of differences.

Being Willing to be changed; when we can sit in the unknown and welcome multiple perspectives, we will inevitably change. This will also create healing.

Welcoming Everything; If all feelings are welcome, then we will learn to stay. If we stay, we can transform. We get to feel everything that comes up in us, with the intention to know ourselves deeply.

Do No Harm; We know we will do harm, and are we willing to stay present and hear the impact from someone else.

Do Your Part; show up and continue to do your personal work.
