Somatic Movement
Practice and skills series
Tuesdays
February 18 - April 8, 2025
10:00 - 11:30 a.m.
On Zoom
$208 for all 8 sessions
Sometimes, even when our minds know we’re ok, our nervous systems stay activated. Something sets us off, and it can feel like it takes days to recover. This series is designed to help you learn to recognize some of the physical manifestations of anxiety and trauma and to teach you practical skills you can use to re-set your nervous system. Each meeting of this 8-session series will include lessons, time to practice, and time for reflection.
We’ll use breath work, eye movements, and movements using the rest of your body. It won’t be too strenuous. You don’t need experience or special clothes or a flexible body. LGBTQ+, size, and culture affirming, for sure. Sign up here.
This offering is a hybrid of therapy and yoga. Due to licensing restrictions, I can only welcome participants currently located in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, or Ohio. Thanks for understanding!
Radical Healership
Workgroup for reluctant business people
Every other Wednesday
February 26 - May 7, 2025
7:00 - 8:30 p.m.
In person at The Present Moment Underground - downstairs at 600 S. White Horse Pike in Audubon, NJ
$150 for all 6 sessions
Most of us go into healing professions because we are passionate about the work we do with clients. The business end of the work? Not so much….
Using the excellent book Radical Healership: How to Build a Values-Driven Healing Practice in a Profit-Driven World as our guide, we’ll explore the real, big “why” you choose to do what you do. We’ll help you articulate the special magic you bring to your work and hold you accountable for figuring out what to charge, how to best market yourself, and how to create the boundaries and support you need to avoid burnout and stay excited about your practice for a long time.
This is not a therapy group, and it is open to professionals in any healing practice. Sign up here. Get a copy of the book if you’re joining us!
The practice of chanting spans all cultures and spiritual practices. It’s breath work. It’s therapeutic for your nervous system. It’s an invitation to merge yourself into the collective and come out feeling centered, spacious, and full of awe.
This is now a monthly offering at OhmGrown; I happen to be leading the chants for this session. We’ll do 108 repetitions of two different mantras from yoga tradition and see where that takes us. I’ll bring the harmonium. I hope you can come!
Perimenopause
Group
Every other Wednesday
March 5 - June 4, 2025
5:30 - 7:00 p.m.
$320 for all 8 sessions
in person at The Present Moment Underground - downstairs at 600 S. White Horse Pike in Audubon, NJ
We were never meant to do this alone.
This is a support group for people in perimenopause or just on the other side. A small group of people looking for (and sharing) wisdom, recognition, connection, and opportunities for insight.
We’ll always start with grounding and some breathing practice. We’ll share resources and ideas about how to move through this challenging time. Your emotions will be welcome, and in the spirit of Gestalt therapy, sometimes even amplified. And because you could probably really stand to have someone cook for you, I’m making soup for every session. You’ll go home nourished in all kinds of ways.
We’ll meet 8 times over the course of 16 weeks. Everyone’s presence will be important for this group to become a strong and sturdy container for people’s collective and deeply individual experiences, so please sign up only if you can commit to being with us (1 absence could be ok).
You in? Sign up here.
Jivamukti Yoga
Fridays March 21 and June 20, 2025
3:00 - 4:30 p.m.
$25
at OhmGrown Yoga in Collingswood, NJ
Ram Dass talks about the importance of having practices... and then letting them go. We need them for a time, and then we need other things to move us to our next level of growth. There's special sweetness to re-engaging with the ones that have been important to us. We return to them for celebration, for renewal, and for community connection.
Some of us were in deep with the Jivamukti practice at Yogawood for a while! The chanting! The philosophical focus experienced through strong physical practice! The hands-on assists!
Regardless of where your practices have taken you over the past few years, no matter if you're hearing about this hallowed practice for the first time, I hope you can clear your schedule and join us for these special classes offered around solstices and equinoxes. I'll offer a ton of options for making the practice more or less complicated and challenging. Don't let "being out of practice" keep you. I hope I get to see you.
Settling In
a somatic movement workshop
Sunday March 30, 2025
6:30 - 8:00 p.m.
$25
at Heart and Soul Yoga in Palmyra, NJ
There's a growing body of research showing the effects of stress and trauma on our physical bodies and on the effectiveness of treating stress and trauma with physical practices. Join us for a small sample of this work, including somatic movement, gentle yoga postures, breathwork, and guided grounding and relaxation. The big hope is that you'll bring thee practices into the rest of your life. Your nervous system will thank you!
