THE SOMATIC HOME
Designing and tending to our dwellings through somatic intelligence and alchemical principles.
is a homing device with a gravitational pull to the intact blueprint of home.
Dwelling in our marrow is a memory of belonging, of togetherness, of safety.
Within every human heart…
The Somatic Home bridges home design, mythic remembrance and nervous system regulation through courses and consults to support a spirited and sensory based lifestyle.
Connecting with the soul of the home, while nesting into the ancient rhythms of season and place, gives rise to a invigorated connection to our bodies, communities and the natural world.
A re-orientation naturally occurs - we become more integrated, curious and inspired. We can once again engage our homes as a sanctuary, a refuge and an authentic reflection of our truest life priorities.
Utilizing body based practices, space arranging and everyday ritual, we support clients to deepen in their relationship with home.
To make true impact in the larger world, we must start with where and how we dwell. The Somatic Home offers a map to guide you home!
The space in which you dwell is a reflection of your mythic truth. It is an overlapping matrix of your ancestry, psyche and life experience. It is the template that can bring ease and flexibility to the nervous system and a canvas for infinite creativity.
Home holds a vast potential to become a healing support system on which to build one's internal architecture
An enlivened Home is where the soul is revealed.
Every culture throughout time has known “home” as the center of the universe. Home is a living being in its own right, and to most peoples around the world, a living being that sheltered numerous house spirits and helpers. Every material that created that structure, and every object within had purpose, not just practical, but often magical. The everyday act of entering and exiting, building the fire, making the evening meal, lived at the juncture of the mundane and the magical.
From caves and wooden huts, to adobe shelters blended into cliff walls…
humans have always prioritized shelter not only for survival, but as a center of their spiritual and relational priorities.
Home is the protective membrane. It is the boundary between the outer world and our familial culture. It acts as an immune system filtering out benevolent from malevolent. Home shelters from storms and from the modern day barrage of information and chaos.
Home is where we break bread at the table. Home is where babies are birthed and loved ones die. Home is where the rituals of season, of transition, of grief and of celebration intermingle with the larger ecology of earth and wind, of waters and fire. Home is the anchor that bridges the body, the soul and the elementals- translating the forces that are hard to express and cognize into a language of shared understanding.
Working with your soma + psyche within the
creative canvas of your dwelling
is a golden key to re-igniting your original aliveness
What occurs when we forget what home holds for each of us?
When we brush it into the dusty closets of our awareness, thinking it a dead place whose only purpose is to contain our stuff and sleep off the day?
What happens to our connectivity, to the full intact life force, when the ancient forces of home are forgotten, taken for granted, or even abused?
Separation from the true meaning of home and the potential it can provide, is a large part of why so many of us feel fractured, alone and disconnected from our place in the world.
We may lose authentic orientation, our north star. We forget how to navigate the external world from a still-point, from a center of belonging. We lose touch with the unseen aliveness of earth and cosmos. We become bereft of the simple pleasure of washing a hand made dish, of stirring grandma's soup with her wooden spoon. We lose contact with the whisperings of our own creative souls. We miss out on the richness of our family, our spouses, our elders, our traditions, our rituals and all that which is meaningful and fulfilling for our lives.
Our home is the place we spend more time than any other environment. Home is our foundation and most immediate access to our innermost depths. Home is the palette of our lives-where we get to express our unique beauty. It is where we resource and nourish ourselves and our family. It is the body that holds our body and maintains our connection with our truest self, family, community and cosmos.
When home becomes the core of our lives again, is laid out and adorned with intention and consciously cared for, it becomes a source of deep safety and an accurate mirror of our true nature.
So,Why is home important?
The possibility for practice, for ritual, for exploration within the home is endless. From thresholds to hearths, from bowls to bathtubs, from arrangement to relationship. It is all here-
A creative cauldron of resource + alchemy is beckoning.
We invite you to come home with us to dive deeper into this terrain that is right here beneath your feet, sheltering you from above, embracing you with stable walls and awaiting your return.
