Rising Self Wellness

💛 Somatic Parts Work: A Self-Discovery Workshop to Connect with Your Inner World

Many of us crave a space to show up as our raw, unfiltered self—without judgment. A place where others can say, “I get it”? The healing journey can feel isolating, especially when you’re diving deep to create the life you deserve. But this path takes courage, and if you’re ready to do the work, I’m here to guide you.

This workshop is for anyone ready to explore and heal the hidden aspects of themselves with curiosity and compassion. Using Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Somatic Experiencing, you’ll connect with your inner “parts” — those holding fear, unmet needs, or limiting beliefs — and foster deeper self-awareness and harmony.

🌿Workshop Highlights
- Learn how your "parts" use your body to tell their stories through sensation and movement.
-Discover how accessing the Self is key to healing interpersonal, intergenerational, and collective wounds.
-Experience the five practices of Somatic IFS: awareness, breath, resonance, movement, and touch.

✨What to Expect
-Opening circle
-Heart-opening meditation
-Introduction to parts work & somatics
-Guided self-inquiry practice
-Communal somatic practices
-Group sharing and witnessing
-Half-hour sound bath

📝 What to Bring
Please bring a journal and writing utensils.
Masks are optional.

✨A New Year’s Portal—an intention setting workshop

Happy New Year,

Every January, the pressure to transform into a “new you” can feel overwhelming. But what if the New Year wasn’t about subtracting from your life—or setting extreme resolutions—but about planting seeds of intention and letting the roots grow effortlessly.

Starting anew doesn’t have to be complicated. By leaning into your intuitive nature, honoring your body’s rhythms, and embracing your natural ebbs and flows, you can create meaningful change.

✨On 1.11.25, join me to harness the transformative energy of the New Year through the powerful 1.11 portal—a symbol of alignment, manifestation, and new beginnings.

Through a combination of self-reflection, comunal reflection, visualization, and sound healing, this workshop is your invitation to align with your highest aspirations and manifest them into reality. Together, we’ll tap into the sacred portal to awaken our spirit and unlock new layers of our being this 2025.
