Somatic Practice for Emotional Support
An In-Person Community Offering
This is such a wild time to be a human.
We’re all holding so much, on our own, as we move through our days.
Somatic Practices give us an opportunity to arrive in our bodies in the present moment. A chance to slow down to connect with the world around us - and each other.
Guided practices help us attune to our cues of safety and support.
Somatics help us recognize our nervous system’s signals in our bodies.
To listen to its whispers, as well as its shouts.
To integrate our mind with our embodied experience.
For my Vermont-based folks, I’m offering a series of in-person sessions this spring.
Somatic Practice for Emotional Support
An In-Person Community Offering
Tuesdays evenings:
May 5, May 19, June 2, June 16, and June 30
5:30-7pm
Guided by Gwendolyn Causer, Certified Somatic Coach
Hosted at Lakeside Massage and Bodywork by Brooke Minetti, CMT, PTA
These sessions will be a co-created process.
A space that welcomes all of you and exactly what you’re carrying.
A place to be present with what is emerging and unfurling.
An environment to share with others in caring community.
We will gather in a circle: sitting, standing or lying on the floor, as space and comfort allows. I will guide our small group through somatic practices and hold space for listening. Everything offered is an invitation - a chance to pause and notice your body’s response to the invitation. To trust the yes, the no, and the maybe. And then to choose.
This practice does not involve touch. Movement is welcome.
It is a practice of deeply listening, being open to what emerges, and sharing what needs to be heard.
Space is limited to 6 people.
Register soon to hold your spot.
We expect the sessions will fill up quickly.

Our series of Somatic Practice for Emotional Support will run for 5 sessions, every two weeks.
You’re welcome to drop in for one session or attend the full series.
Suggested payment is $40 per session.
Sliding scale: We offer a sliding scale fee structure to create greater access to Somatic Practice for folks of varying degrees of financial security. It offers the opportunity for community members with greater financial access to provide support to others. My sliding scale is also an attempt to address systemic inequity and oppression. You are very much welcome and encouraged to pay what feels right to you. No one will be turned away from lack of funds.
Accessibility: Seating will be on cushions on the floor. Lying on the floor or standing is also welcome. Chairs available upon request.
Masking is welcome as an act of community care. Please stay home if you are sick.
There is accessible parking and an elevator to the second-floor space.
