Members remain the same during the 4 week cycle. The course will start in April 2024.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

1. What is Somatics?

Somatics comes from the greek word Soma, which means the body. This work is the ability to sense inside ourselves. Sometimes its referred to as felt sense.

Its our capacity to be present to our emotions, sensations and different body states. We might use body awareness, breath, touch, sound and movement to commune with our inner worlds and make sense of what is often minimized or ignored.

2. What day and time does the training take place?

On the application form there are several day and time options. Please pick the one that suits you. If you can't find one, please select other and state what works as I may run multiple groups if there is enough interest.

3. Do I need art making experience? But I'm not an artist!

You do not need any experience in art making. This course is primarily about learning tool to self-regulate. We use art and art materials to do that. Once registered, you will receive a list of materials for each week of the course.
