Your Boundaries; A Series
Defining, expressing and honoring what you want and value.
Where: Virtual [Live via Zoom]
When: Tuesday evenings 6:30-8:30pm; Dec 1, Dec 8, Dec 15 and Dec 22nd
What: 4 week series to get intimate with your own experience of boundaries. We will explore personal boundaries through body-oriented processes in a virtual group space.
Why do this work in a cohort:
To create a space of consistency, and agreement. Having a closed series allows for the content to steadily build within the individual and group process. working guidelines, it also creates and nurtures a space where people are willing to be vulnerable and courageous. In a way, it supports the group nervous system regulation, promoting interdependence. It can also be an experimental space where the agreements may be different from those of your every day life (ex no offering advice, encouragement to ask for a pause/breath). In this space, you can notice how you exist/respond/feel.
Goals of this series:
How [Approach]:
*Body-Oriented or Somatic practices in this context are ways of noticing what sensations you are feeling in your body. Our dominant culture privileges the mind and the mind's potential or deficit. By privileging the body's experience, we can see and witness ourselves differently. It is like hearing another voice in the chorus of your life. By working with the body, we can hear and hone in on our "gut instinct" -- our felt-sense.
Somatic practices may help you learn about yourself, about how your body responds, and what it may be showing you. It’s also a supportive modality for building awareness on your state of being, of sensing when something is too much/overwhelming. From the lens of somatic experiencing, you will practice simple and effective tools for orienting to the space you're in (what tells you you are safe here? what tells you you are not?). Finding personal resources that support your body in feeling safe. This can be very helpful in working through beliefs, patterns, survival mechanisms that aren’t fully supporting your growth anymore.

Goals of this series:
- Reclaiming boundaries of your autonomous self
- Sensing your own unique personal boundaries that support you flourishing and loving.
- Exploring what your boundaries protect.
- Sharing tools and practices of voicing/sharing/speaking boundaries.
- Boundary crossings, how they impact you physically, mentally and emotionally.
- Boundary repair: practices of repairing crossed boundaries.
- Practicing Accountability
How [Approach]:
- We use body-oriented* practices, journaling, imagination and artistic expression to sense boundaries and relationship to boundaries.
- We utilize the framework that all participants are resourced with what’s necessary to heal, decentralizing an “expert.” Within each of us is inner wisdom; a knowing of what's best for you.
- Creating a compassionate, brave space with willingness for exploration, curiosity and collective healing.
- Centering the body-oriented experience: what you're feeling and sensing in your body. No prior experience necessary.
