Sense the goodness of your aliveness.
Sensorium offers you a body-based experience seeped in the conditions for healing, creating & thriving.
This half-day workshop supports the body-security system to resolve old threat through restoring the perception to present time awareness, beauty, nourishment & the safety of your aliveness.
When we create the conditions, health follows.
In a time of stacking stressors, where burnout is on the rise & so many are fatigued of "inner work" yet desperately needing support to heal, we take the route of the "wise woman tradition."
Add nourishment, and health will follow.
Add support, and the body learns to soften.
Add presence & attuned attention, and our wounds begin to heal, without being poked and prodded.
Most nervous system education deepens the mind: more frameworks, more techniques, more diagnosis. Rarely does it deepen the felt sense of safety & aliveness.
We believe the most important education is experiential. Meaning, knowing it is not enough. It has to be felt & sensed– lived in the tissue before it's understood by the mind.
This is the way babies develop. They don't understand safety... they experience it when the conditions are correct. And from that place, they develop into their full, beautiful selves.
Somatic bottom-up processing bypasses the Default Mode Network– finally quieting the critical mind & ego, allowing transformation to occur more quickly, efficiently & resolving the threat responses that adverse experiences activated in the body.
The Sensorium offers this: a space to receive, to be nourished, to learn & most importantly, to experience.
At The Sensorium we will explore the brilliance of the body-security system, nervous system & how to track your own health, aliveness & threat responses.
Through developmental movement, nervous system education & yoga therapy, your body will begin to sense safety. Immersing yourself in supportive & nourishing movement you will re-discover missed core developmental competencies and experience more vitality, flow & stability.
We will support you to re-pattern developmental movement from your earliest moments (ie: crawling, deep core tone, creeping) allowing your body to develop a strength deeper than you can find at the gym.
We will layer in practices to help you get a felt-sense of the conditions you need to stay connected to your own safety, presence & vitality - so you can leave with new tools in your back pocket!
It’s even possible that all you’ve learned before this may also find its way to integration– allowing you to fully occupy and inhabit the knowledge you already have.
Come be restored, nourished & supported to sense the goodness of your aliveness.
You might find yourself:
🫀 Finally moving beyond knowing about somatics and into the felt-sense experience of your own body — the difference that changes everything in your practice
🫀 Discovering the developmental pieces you didn't know you were missing — and feeling their absence quietly explained in the patterns of your relationships, your parenting, your work
🫀 More grounded in yourself than you've felt in years — less pulled by the momentum of others, less swept into what isn't yours
🫀 Able to stay present with what's happening in the body without bracing, fleeing, or fixing — in your clients and in yourself
🫀 Walking away with an embodied understanding of safe-enough conditions — not just as a concept, but as something you've lived in your own nervous system
🫀 Reconnected to your own vitality, flow, and dynamic range — the aliveness that brought you to this work in the first place
🫀 At home in your body's own intelligence — its motility, its free movement, its knowing
🫀 Attuned to the subtle fields and breath of life that move beneath conscious effort — the layer of the work that can't be taught, only experienced
🫀 Held in a broader web of support — among fellow practitioners, and the more-than-human world that's always been available to you
🫀 Leaving with practical tools and principles you can bring directly into your sessions the very next day
🫀 More resourced, more alive, and more fully yourself — in your practice, your relationships, and your life
Essentially, if you want the practical tools, principles & embodied skill to amplify the safety, health and vitality of your life & practice... join us September 26 at The Sensorium.
A return to the body's original intelligence.

Meet your Facilitators:
If you're anything like us, you're trying to live into a new way of being— dreaming up new worlds as the old systems crumble beneath us.
Times of upheaval are the most potent times to anchor into new realities. In somatics, it's precisely through destabilization that new patterns begin to take shape in the brain and body.
As practitioners of wellbeing, we believe our own vitality, inner safety, and capacity are portals to that reality. And we know that the healing our society needs requires inner stability, a strong sense of Self, and a willingness to show up imperfectly, deeply honest, and incessantly hopeful about what's possible.
We don't have all the answers. But we are devoted to living, practicing, and serving our way into a world where all of us can thrive in our innate dignity, wholeness, and belonging.
If you're looking for a place to experience your vitality, inner stability, and wholeness in a new way — join us for The Sensorium.

A note from your guest teachers:
We're so grateful to Kathryn of Inner Vision Psychotherapy for bringing us to LA.
As a queer, neuro-complex couple from the Midwest— Autism, ADHD & C-PTSD represented— it's our life's work to make healing that actually works accessible to those who diverge from dominant culture.
Bottom-up somatic work is proving especially effective for neuro-complex folks; particularly around autism, attachment wounds, and C-PTSD. We can't wait to share the tools we've gathered from 30+ years of combined education, private practice, and personal healing. Expect to learn from the following modalities:
- Yoga Therapy
- Functional Integration & Developmental Movement
- Alchemical Alignment
- Quantum Coherence & Biodynamics
- Shamanism, Earth Medicine
- Sacred Enneagram
A big thank you to Kathryn and Inner Vision for the invitation. We are thrilled to meet you!
“Madison’s retreat last year was truly life-shifting. It helped me rewrite old stories about who I was and what was possible for me. The community space she created felt healing, supportive, and deeply nourishing. I left feeling renewed in my sense of purpose and grounded in rituals I now carry into my everyday life. The experience was intentional, deep, and delightfully playful. Madison’s attention to detail and care is impeccable — I felt truly seen, held, and nourished. I absolutely cannot wait to return.”
-Christina, Therapist
“I’ve gotten so many reminders of what I can do to make my life so much better. I’m so inspired for my practice now. I feel like all my sharp edges got sanded down and it is more comfortable just inhabiting my body physically, psychologically, and emotionally. I’m so grateful, and I’m so interested in learning more of this foundation of the elements and to continue to have this space together to unlearn bad habits again and again.”
-Mick
"Attending last year's retreat was a deeply nourishing experience—one that brought parts of myself forward, that for too long have been forced into the background of my life. Doing this alongside others seeking their authentic selves allowed my hidden parts to feel safe being seen. Through guided ceremonies, somatic practices, and elemental rituals, I found myself peeling back layers of old stories and old longings and reconnecting to something ancient and true within me. This was met and attuned to by the ancient wisdom of the land we gathered upon, something I don’t yet fully understand but am now curious about constantly. This wasn’t just a pause from everyday life; it was a remembering, a return, and a new beginning."
Return to your true nature— interconnected, supported, fully expressed and free.

“My intuition is heightened, my experiences are validated, my creativity has expanded and shown me the way to healing.”
Lauren S. - therapist
“This work has allowed me to drop into my internal wisdom for healing and wholeness. The gentleness and spaciousness of the process has allowed hidden and shamed parts of me to emerge to the surface and bloom in their own time. I have built a secure foundation for my desires to be planted internally and to grow at a sustainable pace rather than huge expansions and then collapsing into shame.”
Megan C. - therapist
“I see myself as good and valid & no longer live from shame of my neurodivergence. I feel self-compassion, love, and I’ve gotten to know my Unique Essence– I no longer label myself as shameful, wrong or bad.”
