Many people today are operating in a constant state of stress, feeling disconnected and unsure how to help themselves. In a culture that over-emphasizes rational thinking, it can be hard to sense into our bodies for guidance. Our bodies hold immense wisdom though. * * * Emma Schurink is an empowerment coach for adults who feel stuck and want to create movement in their lives. Trained in Somatic Experiencing™—a body-oriented approach to healing chronic stress and trauma—she helps people connect with physical sensations to uncover their primal instincts and inner wisdom. She supports people in finding their own answers, self-regulating their nervous system, and living a more connective, embodied life. She likes to say, “empowerment starts within and emanates outward into our communities and beyond.” Visit her website at soulwindsempowerment.com.

To be embodied helps us self-regulate our nervous system, experience a fuller sense of aliveness and gives us an opportunity to tap into our inner knowing.
Join Emma and Christina for an intimate workshop to deepen your connection with yourself—your body and nervous system—so you can live more of an embodied life.
In this workshop, we will guide you to gently become aware of physical sensation—the language of the nervous system—and invite you to feel and notice how sensations form and change in the present moment. We will offer practices to support your connection with your body and nervous system, including the nourishing practice of body oiling. You will walk away with deeper self-awareness, a body-oriented vocabulary, and tools to self-regulate your nervous system and support your embodiment practice.

RESCHEDULED TO APRIL 6 DUE TO STORM
While somatic practices, like the ones we’ll do in this workshop, are integral to healing trauma, this workshop is not intended to address or heal trauma. If you know you have significant unresolved trauma or are afraid to connect with your body, consider reaching out to Emma to determine if it’s a good fit or if you’re interested in one-on-one Somatic Experiencing™ sessions to resolve your trauma symptoms.
