Embodying the Feminine Spine

Service Description

Saturday, July 19, 2025 | 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM Outdoors in a central Calgary garden setting (exact location shared upon registration; indoor studio backup available if needed) In a world that celebrates forward motion and front-body productivity, we gather to gently turn toward the back body—the part of us that so often bears the weight of what’s unspoken, unseen, and carried for others. This day-long retreat invites participants into a layered, somatic exploration of the spine—not just as structure, but as story. We’ll attune to the spine as a fluid, expressive channel—shaped by life experience and nourished by the rhythm of cerebrospinal flow. Together, we will explore the feminine qualities of the spine: receptivity, deep listening, inner dignity, and soft strength. Through gentle movement, supportive rest, and mindful exploration, we’ll begin to unwind shame, efforting, and bracing held in the curves of the back. This offering is open to all bodies, all genders, and all levels of somatic experience. What to Expect: • Movement to meet the natural curves of the spine • Breath and touch practices to support rest and self-listening • Restorative pauses for reflection, journaling, or stillness • A pace that invites curiosity over performance Who It’s For: Helpers, feelers, caregivers, overfunctioners, bodyworkers, therapists, and somatic seekers—anyone longing to reconnect with a supported, intuitive spine. 💸 Sliding Scale Pricing Choose the rate that best reflects your current financial situation.
