Body Songs: Movement for Therapists

Join Somatic Psychotherapist Katrina Curry and explore the playfulness of Eco-Somatic Movement Psychotherapy, a workshop specifically designed for therapists, social workers and counselors. As therapists we also need time and space for renewal and restoration in community.

This five day program offers enlivening care for therapists, sharing movement—somatic and creative expression—nourishment and experiential learning methods to support your well-being and sustenance for ongoing practice. We will practice techniques that will help you expand and strengthen your embodied practice as a therapist, while resting into creative community.

Unclench, unwind, untangle, release, empty, restore, pulse, rise, unfurl, and wiggle, expand, swoop, release in all directions, and rest. Come drink the Sky and ground into Earth—care for your heart, mind and your wild and magical spirit.
