center together:
a weekly somatic practice group
Are you finding it hard to continue practice at home?
Sustaining practice by yourself can be challenging which is why we offer a group space to practice together. This space is to support your ongoing practice, and to remind ourselves what matters to us and to continue to practice learning and healing together.
Center Together is a weekly drop-in practice space for folks wanting to integrate somatic practice into their daily lives.
We start each session with foundational practices and then move into an additional practice or topic with more depth for the rest of our time together. This methodology holds that through regular practice we can experience transformative shifts in our bodies and lives as lasting change.
Come practice with us!
“We can’t change the world if we do not heal what has become embodied in us, and we cannot truly heal if the conditions that break and isolate us don’t change too.”
— Prentis Hemphill, What it Takes to Heal

Learn more about: What is somatics? Why turn to the body as a site of transformation?
Learn foundational practices, like the centering practice that you can take with you into your daily routines.
Deepen your somatic awareness to support you to be more self-generating, self-healing, and self-educating.
Connect with local community who care about personal and collective transformation.

Practicing in community is so rich. This work is delightful, surprising, and challenging (in the best sort of way). We are so lucky to have embodiment programs like these in northern Michigan, led by two experienced, caring facilitators who understand the ongoing impact these programs can offer. Very highly recommend!
