The Methodology: From Body to Page

We don't begin with a blank page. We begin with breath. With sensation. With movement.

Here's how the 2-hour experience unfolds:

Part 1: Micro-Theory & Foundation
We explore the "why" behind sense-bound creative expression—understanding how the body holds narrative, how trauma creates blocks, and why somatic healing is the gateway to authenticity in our writing.

Part 2: Intuitive Somatic Movement & Release
Through guided somatic practice, we gently wake up the body's wisdom. This is not performative, this is not for anyone else. This is listening. This is for you. We honor slowness, gentleness, and the non-judgmental presence required for the traumatized body to feel safe enough to speak.

Part 3: Sense-Bound Writing Exercises
We wil flow into guided writing prompts designed to capture the visceral experience arising in real time. Music, instruction, and creative freedom prompts combine to bring your body's stories onto the page.

Part 4: Sharing Circle
We close by celebrating the poetry, art, and expression created in our shared container. We honor what emerged and what wants to be seen. (this portion of the call will not be recorded)

From Movement to Multi-Modal Expression: Our Evolution

Sensual Somatic® began as an intuitive movement and dance therapy-inspired methodology, born from the understanding that the body holds what words cannot reach. For four years, we've guided women carrying sexual trauma back home to their bodies through somatic healing practices—creating safe containers where movement becomes medicine and the body remembers its inherent wisdom.

Through global retreats and facilitator trainings, we've witnessed the transformation of over 150+ trainees who now hold healing spaces in their own communities. And in that witnessing, we learned something profound: the body doesn't just want to move. It wants to write, to paint, to vocalize, to shake, to scream, to draw, to release through art. It wants to express in every way available to our sensual, creative bodies.

Today, Sensual Somatic® has evolved into a comprehensive expressive arts methodology—one that honors intuitive movement as our foundation while expanding into poetry, creative writing, visual arts, sound, and voice. We've also expanded our vision: this work is no longer limited to women. All bodies carry stories. All bodies deserve healing. All bodies are welcomed here.

Our approach remains rooted in trauma-informed somatic practices, but our palette has grown richer. We believe that true healing happens when we give the body multiple pathways to speak—when we let sensation become movement, movement become words, words become art, and art become the bridge back to ourselves.

Body Alliance Poetics is the next expression of this evolution—a masterclass that weaves our somatic foundations with the transformative power of sense-bound creative writing.
