When was the last time you truly felt at home in your body?

In today’s fast-paced world, many of us live in a state of chronic stress—disconnected from the body and holding tension that never quite gets to unwind. Over time, this can show up as anxiety, fatigue, pain, and emotional overwhelm.

This workshop is an invitation to slow down, tune in, and release what your body has been holding. Through guided somatic awareness, gentle movement, breathwork, and self-bodywork, you’ll learn practical ways to regulate your nervous system, soften areas of tension, and reconnect with your natural state of ease.

You’ll walk away with:

• A deeper sense of connection and presence in your body

• Practical tools to calm your nervous system in daily life

• Greater awareness of where and how stress shows up in your body

• Simple self-regulation practices you can return to anytime you need grounding

Come as you are—no experience required. Leave feeling centered, spacious, and renewed.

Brazilian Zouk Open-Level Class & Social
After the Dancing into Connection intensive, join us for an open-level Brazilian Zouk class co-taught by Mia and Tomás, followed by a relaxed social dance. This class is beginner-friendly and open to all — no prior experience or partner needed.

We’ll explore the foundations of Brazilian Zouk through connection, rhythm, and smooth, circular movement, emphasizing comfort, consent, and presence rather than performance. Whether you’re brand new to Zouk or returning to the dance floor, this class offers a supportive space to learn, move, and connect.

Stay after to dance, integrate, and enjoy the music together in a welcoming community atmosphere.

Schedule:
12:30-2:30 Dancing Into Connection - Special Topic Intensive
2:45-3:45 Zouk Open Level Workshop (Connection in Zouk)
3:45-7:00 Zouk Social

A 2-hour embodied exploration of presence, connection, and flow.

Dancing into Connection (Vol. 2) is an experiential workshop that deepens our exploration of breath, touch, presence, and authentic relating through the container of partner dance. This offering invites you into a richer, more nuanced experience of connection — with yourself, with others, and with the moment — while cultivating ease, comfort, and aliveness in movement.

Through guided somatic connection exercises and partner dance explorations, we will investigate what it feels like to listen and respond through the body, to move in dialogue with another person, and to access states of flow while dancing together. This workshop emphasizes listening through the body, attuning to sensation, and responding from felt presence rather than performance.

Social dancing — defined as any dance involving two or more people — offers a rich, embodied framework for exploring presence, grounding, connection, and aliveness in motion. In this space, we will practice moving with consent, clarity and curiosity, while discovering how breath, touch, and presence can support deeper connection and mutual regulation.

This workshop is open to dancers of many backgrounds, including contact improvisation, Brazilian Zouk, fusion, and other partner-based or improvisational forms, as well as dance-curious individuals who are new to partner movement.

No partner and no previous dance experience are required.
Come as you are — curious, embodied, and willing to explore what connection feels like when it’s lived through the body in motion.

This movement intensive will be followed by an optional Open-Level Zouk Workshop and Zouk Social with Zouksylvania.

RECLAIM is a sensory, somatic experience designed to bring you back home to your body.

Not through the surface-level kind of “self-love.”

Not through affirmations or aesthetics.

But through the kind of love and devotion that is felt — in your breath, your skin, your cells, your energy.

This experience is an invitation to soften out of survival, drop out of your head, and return to the place where aliveness actually lives. Through ceremonial cacao, breathwork, somatic practices, and sacred ritual, we will journey into the body as a site of safety, pleasure, power, and presence. We will awaken sensation. We will listen to the body’s language. We will remember what it feels like to be grounded in ourselves — fully, warmly, and without apology.

Guided by Mia Becker, a nervous system guide and somatic practitioner, you’ll be led into states of deep regulation, embodied bliss, and subtle activation — reconnecting you with the innate intelligence and vitality that already live within you.

Tending the Embers Within

A Winter Somatic Sanctuary

In the quiet heart of winter, our inner fires can dim — asking us to slow down, nourish deeply, and reconnect with what keeps us warm from the inside out.

Tending the Embers Within is a somatic afternoon retreat designed to help you come home to your body and rekindle your inner glow through embodied practices and rituals, warming nourishment, and heartfelt community.

Together, we’ll weave a cozy and restorative experience through:

• Somatic practices and embodied movement to awaken warmth and presence

• Guided breathwork and energy practices to circulate vitality through the body

• Warming foods and herbal elixirs to nourish the senses and the soma

• Heart-centered connection to remind us of the warmth we create together

This gathering is an invitation to slow down, soften, and stoke the inner flame that sustains you through the darker months — a space to rest, restore, and remember the quiet power of your own embodied warmth.

Come as you are, and let’s tend the embers within — together.

When was the last time you were present with your body? In the fast-paced world we live in, it can be easy to dissociate from the body, causing us to store unprocessed stress in the body. This can lead to symptoms like chronic tension, anxiety, chronic pain, decreased mobility, poor posture, digestive issues, and low mood. Somatic healing can bring us deeper into relationship with the body and untangle the layers of emotion and tension that get stuck there.

This workshop is a chance for you to come back home to your body and release tension through deep awareness, gentle movement, and healing self-bodywork. We’ll explore how you can work with your nervous system to regulate yourself through gentle practices and techniques that you can use in your everyday life. Come as you are and leave feeling centered and refreshed.

Mackenzie Stevenson

My personal journey through anxiety and panic disorder sparked a deep curiosity about the intricate connections between mind, body, and spirit. Over time, I've discovered how to harness the wisdom of my body as a guiding resource. My passion lies in assisting others on their own paths of embodiment, creating a supportive environment where they can authentically witness and embrace their healing journey. Continuously evolving, I draw inspiration from the rhythms of nature and am deeply influenced by what came before us. My approach to healing is deeply rooted in reverence for the elements and the timeless wisdom they embody, and I offer this in my work through ceremony and ritual. Over the years I’ve trained in Healing Touch, Somatic Therapy, Cuddle Therapy, Tantra, Focusing Oriented Therapy and Whole Person Coaching. It’s an honor to be on this path with you!

Embrace the opportunity to prioritize your self-care journey. Join us at the Self Care Sensorium and embark on a path to greater vitality, resilience, and inner harmony. We look forward to welcoming you!
