The Sensorium offers the felt-sense experience of developmental movement, yoga therapy & somatic alchemy.
Designed for practitioners of all kinds, this half-day workshop supports the deepening of both personal and professional practice by supporting the body-security system to resolve threat & restore present time awareness, re-discover missed core developmental competencies and experience more vitality, flow & stability.
We know all too well that many of us practitioners have devoted ourselves to offering others what we rarely receive ourselves.
We hold space and offer attunement so skillfully for others— and so rarely find someone able to hold that level of depth & skill for us.
Most continuing education deepens the mind: more frameworks, more techniques, more letters after our name. Rarely does it deepen the felt sense– the actual terrain we're working with, in ourselves and in every body we come into contact with.
It’s no wonder so many of our clients are just like us: seeking to be met deeply in the tender, human places that are beyond intellect. A place so few know how to access unless they have been there.
We believe the most important education is experiential. Meaning, knowing it is not enough. It has to be felt– lived in the tissue before it's understood by the mind.
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 learn & most importantly, to experience.
We will explore the brilliance of the body-security system, re-pattern developmental movement, attune to the breath of life itself as you have a felt-sense transmission of your own safety, presence & vitality.
It’s 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.
What we've found, again and again: the most powerful practitioners are the ones who've deepened their own felt-sense relationship to safety, presence & vitality first. Who don’t just know about somatics, but embody the wholeness so fully, miracles are created in their presence.
Immersed together in experiential & communal learning, you might find yourself:
- Moving beyond conceptual understandings of “somatics” and into the felt-sense experience of your own Sensorium
- Rediscovering missed developmental competencies that quietly shape everything: from your intimate partnerships & parenting to downstream in your practice
- Embodying a stronger, steadier sense of Self– making you less susceptible to getting pulled into the momentum of others
- Widening your capacity to stay with what's happening in the body & in present time
- Anchored in the principles of “safe-enough conditions” with an embodied understanding of the core developmental competencies having felt them in your own body
- Reconnecting with your own vitality, flow & dynamic range
- At home in your body's motility, its free movement, its own intelligence
- Attuned to breath of life & the fields that move beneath conscious effort
- Held in a broader web of support among fellow practitioners & the More Than Human support so readily available
- Leaving with practical tools & principles you can carry directly into your work
- More resourced to amplify the health & vitality of your own practice, life & relationships
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.
"I’ve had the privilege of working with Madison on and off in various ways for a few years now. From 1:1 work to groups, she consistently shows up with deep presence, crystal clear communication and a wealth of knowledge that I feel I am continually learning from. As a therapist who has worked with many different practitioners, I can honestly say that Madison is one of the most naturally skilled people I’ve encountered in being fully present and responsive to whatever arises in the moment.
I experience her approach as playful, curious and laser focused. She is an expert seer, and I’ve always felt deeply witnessed, heard and held by her. Madison’s training in alchemical alignment, somatic work, knowledge of the enneagram combined with the depth of her lived experience and ongoing personal exploration, is woven seamlessly into her work—it’s something you can really feel when you’re with her.
There aren’t many practitioners I find myself returning to again and again, but Madison is absolutely one of them and will continue to be. Words cannot express fully my appreciation for her, but I hope this scratches the surface."

Hi! We are Madison & Jayme.
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. Being neck deep studying ancient wisdom traditions, we know that times of upheaval are the most potent times to anchor in new realities, ones of justice, love, belonging and communion.
The dreams of our colleagues, clients and communities are often the same: create a more beautiful world.
The reality, however, is ever more challenging as fear breeds separateness, divisiveness and fragmentation.
Many who hope for a new reality don’t have the skills, stability or embodied practice to go in a new way – we sure didn’t! While we don’t have all the answers, we are devoted to living, practicing and serving our way into a new reality where all of us can live and thrive in our innate dignity, wholeness & belonging.
Being queer, neurodivergent and with developmental trauma, we did not have the skills, sense of belonging or stability required to live out our dreams. Spiritual spaces did not always welcome our fullness, and our families could not hold us.
Communion is born of the many years seeking, failing, forgiving and healing as we individually found our way.
We have discovered that true Communion requires inner stability, a strong sense of Self & a willingness to show up imperfectly, deeply honest & incessantly hopeful about what's possible. Only through this can we experience Communion with All That Is.
If you’re looking for a place to listen to and embody the dream on your heart, join us at Communion as we reconnect to Body, Land, Village & Spirit.
Madison
(she/they)
Madison Morrigan is an award-winning leadership and somatic coach, writer, and podcaster. Her private practice supports people to navigate post-traumatic growth, shame resilience, and build internal safety. She holds a degree in interpersonal communication and psychology, and certifications in conflict resolution, mediation, coaching, yoga, and somatic trauma work. Currently apprenticing as a Shamanic Practitioner, her approach blends ritual, self-inquiry, and somatic practices to help folks with “muchness” access their dignity and wholeness.
A natural question-asker from childhood, Madison was the youngest female black belt in Hapkido by 13 and has always carried a fierce drive and curiosity. She’s lived through high control religion, a divorce, a late-in-life coming out, and an autism diagnosis—all of which have shaped her commitment to authentic, unconventional living. Today she lives in intentional community and spends her time dancing to pop music, hiking the Ozarks with her girlfriend, and writing from the heart.
Jayme
(she/they)
Jayme’s teaching draws on a rich well of experience to offer yoga that is both deeply reverent and refreshingly real. She designs immersive containers where movement, mantra, breath, and rest become tools for remembering wholeness. Her classes are trauma-informed, seasonally attuned, and guided by human development, all rooted in the belief that practice should nourish our sacred humanness rather than override it. Before settling into life at the Circle Yoga Shala, she spent years living in intentional spiritual communities and training as a professional athlete—two paths that profoundly shaped her relationship to discipline, devotion, and embodied truth. Through her experience in personal recovery, she has developed an approach that is practical yet poetic, bridging the mystic teachings of yoga with the real work of surrender and forgiveness.
Jayme is a Certified Yoga Therapist, an eRYT 500 yoga teacher trainer, and a former high-level strength coach. She holds an MBA in sustainable development and a bachelor’s degree in media sales and management.
“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
“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 retreat wasn’t just a pause from everyday life; it was a remembering, a return, and a new beginning."

“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.”
Lauren S.
“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.”
Elora R.
“My intuition is heightened, my experiences are validated, my creativity has expanded and shown me the way to healing.”
