Somatic Practices for the Polycrisis: Resourcing Ourselves in Complex Times
We are living through what many are calling a polycrisis: overlapping, compounding crises at the personal, collective, and planetary levels. These times call for tools that help us connect to ourselves and each other while staying engaged and responsive to the challenges we face, and resting when we need to.
Our bodies are smart, creative and responsive. Somatic practices can help us attune to our bodies and support our ability to organize and integrate our stress responses. This helps us stay more resourced as we engage in the struggle to halt the harms, repair the wounds and build a world that values nourishing life. This is a space to support our capacity to meet what’s here, together. It’s an open invitation for whenever you need to drop into your body and resource yourself.
There is no registration or payment; this is a community care offering.
Practices are on virtual Zoom every other Monday at 5:30-6:00ishpm PST, starting September 15, 2025. Join here.
Somatic practices can involve exploring movement, sensation, imagery, and touch. This is an example of what a somatic practice for the polycrisis is like.
"As a bodyworker of 15+ years, taking Kate’s workshop on resourcing your nervous system helped me not only to recognize how my body responds to stressors, but to more clearly recognize these stressors in my clients’ bodies, and respond accordingly during a session. Her nuanced understanding of nervous system anatomy and physiology, especially polyvagal theory, is way more information than I ever got in massage school. I use the skills I learned in her workshop every day in the treatment room.”-AB
