Announcing the Somatic Movement Summit 2020

The Shift Network Presents The Somatic Movement Summit 2020: Explore you innate body wisdom and intelligence, the gateway to resilience, health and wholeness. Embody all of yourself through the medicine of movement…discove somatic movement therapy, and  somatic movement practices to tap into your body’s wisdom.

The realities of life in these times mean most of us will spend a LOT more time inside, stagnant, and only rarely putting our bodies in motion — if we’re not intentional.

Movement is not just a nice thing to do; it’s imperative for health and wellbeing. 

How are you engaging with movement these days? Do you have a daily {somatic} movement practice? 

More than rote exercise, somatic movement is a call to return to embodiment, the wisdom of your body’s capacity to self-regulate — a timely answer to our modern world’s shifting landscape. 

Both subtle and profound, somatic movement modalities and practices  — such as Alexander Technique, Hanna Somatics, Feldenkrais, Body-Mind Centering, and others — gently foster an abiding sense of wellbeing and fortitude over time. 

These somatic movement therapies and methods can assist you in moving from rigidity to fluidity… enabling you to make choices from your body’s wisdom and  grounded intelligence, while at the same time preserving your body from the long-term effects of stress. 

Especially now, as many of us are feeling more immobilized than ever — somatic movement practices are our friend.

So many of us can be tempted to spend most of the day sitting or remaining motionless while looking at screens… which can result in significant health problems of a whole different order — such as increased risk of heart disease, obesity, restricted range of motion, and other challenges. 

That’s why I’m honored to invite you to join the Somatic Movement Summit 2020 — an experiential online gathering of seasoned leaders in this growing and evolutionary field. 

In this one-of-a-kind summit, you’ll not only receive abundant knowledge from world-renowned somatic movement experts… you’ll also gain first-hand, in-the-moment experiences of these disciplines.

You’ll have the opportunity to slow down and embody the richness of what our brilliant speakers and practitioners have to offer.
