Release what isn’t you, relax into your natural self.
Through movement-based shadow work, we dissolve the inherited myths and unfelt emotions that keep you from feeling fulfilled and moving freely in the world.
Release the emotional knots holding you up, and your creativity, functionality, and love flow naturally.
Surrender old ideas about who you are, and you feel your fundamental wholeness.
This wholeness reorganizes your world in ways that are spiritually full and materially practical.
How it works
Our way through this process is tailored specifically to you — what you want, where you’re at in relation to it, the textures and talents of your specific psyche, and the life events that give us material to work with.
The process is intuitive and multimodal, but we always grab this primary set of tools:
Feeling as a solvent
For any inner work to work, you must learn to allow your emotions to process.
When we are present with our emotions as sensations in our bodies, their energies move like waves:
You feel them rolling in and notice their textures, they pitch up and get more intense until they peak and begin to crash.
If the feeling is sadness, this is the point you might start crying. After a little tumult — always less than you expect, could be a minute or two — the feeling finishes and dissolves leaving a spacious, relaxed feeling.
Through this process we dissolve the emotional linchpins that hold in place the behavior patterns, beliefs, and identities causing your suffering.
Though this process is natural, it is, for whatever reason, not intuitive to most of us. We don’t want to feel the discomfort of our emotions, and so we employ myriad strategies to avoid feeling them.
When we aren’t dissociated from or repressing our emotions, we feel them as sensations in our bodies (which are, in many ways, our unconscious minds). So, if you’re avoiding your emotions, you likely feel stuck in your head.
Anxiety, indecision, judgement, dissociation, denial, addiction, people-pleasing, apathy, superiority, and inferiority — all ways of avoiding emotions that give way to huge expansions of perspective, beauty, connection, and relaxation if we allow them to be felt. When we resort to these poor substitutes for peace and power, we block our own access to real security, self-esteem, and love.
Movement as a viewport into the unconscious
We use movement as a diagnostic tool to directly perceive and make conscious the ways you are showing up in relationship to yourself, your work, your friendships, your partnerships.
Though our words and conscious beliefs can mask our unconscious feelings and intentions (keeping them secret even from ourselves!), these energies and thought processes unavoidably radiate from your movements.
And thank god, because this allows us to touch and move material that is otherwise out of conscious reach. Often this is the stuff that is dominating your life and holding you back from the things you want — whether thats a rich and vivid life, expression, achievements, or a love of self.
So we record video of you moveing through archetypes like giving/receiving, yes/no, earning/spending, intimacy/independence, and use what we find to process any restrictive wounds unusually deeply and quickly.
- we use felt movement as processing tool. feeling your feelings all the way allows their density to dissolve, and movement deepens this process in ways that sitting meditation does not, allowing us to touch things that many people inadvertently avoid through a perversion of the meditation practice, making it avoidance.
- felt movement is also a means to embodying new ways of being, and increasingly spontaneous expression of our true selves. through receiving feedback on our movements and finding novel ways to move, we expand our range in life
4. Envision Your Life Map
We map the life you want (short, mid, and long-term) and use movement work to embody the emotional attitudes and psychological habits that naturally create those futures. As your old identity structures and avoidances fall away, you free up the energy previously used to maintain that suffering.
We redirect that energy that maintained your suffering toward creating what you actually want—which becomes natural once you've stopped fighting reality and healed dysfunctional patterns.
2. Heal Generational Imprints
We locate the imprints of being unlovable, unworthy, etc. you received from your lineage. Using somatic meditations, we reshape these imprints as if they came from parents who got everything they needed and could give you the same.
3. Embody Magnetic Reciprocity
We use movement feedback to reveal your unconscious relationship to fundamental archetypes (giving/receiving, yes/no, earning/spending, intimacy/independence). Then we embody functional relationships that naturally magnetize what you want.
Let’s work together
Book an intro and we'll lay out where you are, what you want, and whether working together is the efficient way to get there.
If yes, I'll walk you through how this work will clear the road to your intention.
