The challenges we are facing personally and collectively are unrelenting.

The pandemic. Climate change. Astronomical living costs. Political chaos.

For many of us, these crises are layered upon existing difficulties in our lives and communities. Perhaps we are healing from childhood pain, live in a marginalized body, or have experienced a dozen different traumas.

Better emotional regulation won’t make groceries affordable, the smoke clear or the chronic fatigue magically disappear.

But it will help you feel less out of control so you can regain choice and presence.

True emotional regulation requires our bodies and minds to work together
🤝

In this 90 minute workshop, you will:

  • Learn how to support your mind and body to
    work together when triggered

  • Practice somatic (embodied) skills in real time

  • Explore what this looks like in the context of living in collapsing systems (ecological, economic, social, etc.)

  • Learn through a combination of example, practice and applied theory.

Student Testimonials

“Varia is a compassionate, thoughtful, and knowledgeable guide through the difficult terrain of human feelings. The skills I’ve learned here will support me in strengthening my relationships with myself, my partner, my friends and family, and my broader community.”

“Varvara is so gentle and kind. I’ve learned about somatics before from another teacher, but Varvara teaches it in a more digestible way that I was able to use immediately after practicing once with her recorded audios.”

“Varvara’s enthusiasm, authenticity, and mastery shine through when she talks about feelings — the messiness of them, the nuances of them, and how to treat ourselves kindly while feeling them. What a treasure.”

“Varia is an incredibly skilled teacher. They were able to explain the content clearly and in ways that made sense for different learners. But they also were able to show us, and guide us towards experiencing the content ourselves..”

“Varia’s practice helped me integrate within a trauma-informed somatics framework. Varia’s teaching style is warm, accessible and personal. It felt like they were journeying alongside me in my practice.”

“Having Varia as a teacher is a great experience. They brought many helpful and relatable examples for the theory, and it was really nice to feel their humanity, not a teacher on a pedestal somewhere above, but a equal human being sharing knowledge and space.”
