Classes+Workshops+Retreats
Classes, workshops and retreats can be helpful for gaining tools and supporting deeper healing processes, whether you are learning for your own wellness or to help others.
Sept 14, 2025, 10am - 3pm
Liminalia, Vernonia, OR (about 1hr west of Portland)
This day retreat is for people who identify as tenders, helpers and caregivers of all kinds: therapists, activists, healthcare providers, teachers, parents, social workers, bodyworkers and service providers. If you take care of others or the collective, this is a space for you to put down all that you carry, and be tended to yourself.
Kate and Danielle will guide sensory, somatic and movement practices that draw from the wisdom of Ayurveda, East Asian Medicine and Somatics to support deep unwinding, reflection and restoration with time before and after we gather to wade in the river, sit in the sauna or take a quiet late summer walk. We’ll have a break midday for a nourishing vegetarian lunch.
Our time together will feel like a hug, a soft but sturdy container for you to let go of your labors and be held. A needed pause to connect to yourself for a deep reset.
Sauna and river swimming available before and after the retreat.
Pre-Recorded Classes + Workshops
You can access a collection of recorded Nervous System Reset classes or my Somatic Tools for Resourcing the Nervous System workshop through The Bhakti Yoga Movement Center’s online library. I am also a contributor to trainings offered by The Breathe Network, a non-profit organization that provides a healing resource network to survivors of sexual trauma. TBN also offers education and training for health and healing professionals on the impacts of sexual violence and best practices in providing trauma-informed care to survivors. Those trainings can be accessed directly through The Breathe Network.
"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
