SOMAPRESENCE
5 week live online course
for the woman who has come unmoored from the life she once knew, and can feel another life asking to be lived.
Something has cracked open. Maybe it was burnout, or loss, or a shock that took the ground out from under you. The life you held together so carefully doesn't quite hold anymore. You may be frightened. Exhausted. Some part of you may be quietly desperate. And underneath all of that, if you're honest, there's something else. An openness you didn't ask for. The strange, unfamiliar sense that things could be different.
For a long time you've given yourself away, to the work, to the people who need you, to the many versions of yourself the world keeps asking for. Somewhere in the giving, the signal grew faint. The creativity. The aliveness. The feeling of being at home in your own body. Not gone. Just waiting, beneath the noise, to be heard again.
This is an invitation to come back. Not to fix yourself, because you were never broken, but to trust the intelligence that has been in you all along. Let it move you toward the life that is quietly calling.
THIS IS more that A COURSE, it's an INITIATION
There is no content to complete here, no technique to master.
An initiation is a threshold you cross. You arrive as one version of yourself and leave as another. Not because you were taught, but because something in you was given the conditions to move.
Over six weeks, held in a small circle of women, you will cross that threshold together: naming what brought you, descending into your own source, opening into relation, and returning transformed.
You leave changed. More open, grounded and free - with the living evidence of what has shifted in your life.
Your journey towards Emboded Presence
THE THRESHOLD - Week 1
Before anything else, we arrive. Into the body, into this moment, into whatever is present right now.
You will be invited to set an intention for the journey, not as a goal but as a living direction felt in the body. Even if it is only a whisper.
From there, we turn towards the pulse: that fundamental rhythm already alive in you, in every breath, every heartbeat. The foundation of everything in Somapresence. Something in you that has never stopped beating.
We begin to feel it through the spine, oscillating between two natural movements: uncoiling outward into space, coiling inward towards the source. From this pulse, the axis awakens. That vertical thread of living intelligence from base to crown, where grounding, inner rightness, and coherence begin to settle. This week is not about doing. It is about softening enough to feel what was always already there.
IMPULSE - Week 2
This week we go deeper into the axis, exploring its three gateways—the energy centres that give it life. Through simple but powerful movement, we let the intelligence of the impulse emerge: that natural, unforced motion that arises when you stop directing the body and start listening to it.
You begin to feel the difference between moving from your centre and moving away from it—and how to find your way back to that source.
UNFURLING - Weeks 3 & 4
From that centre, you begin to open. Over these two weeks, we playfully explore the two spiral movements at the heart of Somapresence—the way motion travels outward from your axis into space, and into relation.
Here you learn to receive without losing yourself, and to give without emptying. The intention you welcomed at the threshold now expands from the centre outward, taking root in your body, your heart, and your voice.
INTEGRATION - Week 5
Everything gathers. In this final week, we let go of what we've learned to welcome movement in its most untamed form. We're not striving for perfection or improvement—only allowing expression to be as free as it wants to be.
There's plenty of space to move here, with moments of regathering through breath and self-touch. We close the circle with a gentle sharing at the end, for those who'd like to—naming, in your own words, the version of yourself that is taking shape.
What you leave with is presence — your own, embodied.
An embodied presence is a quiet kind of power: the trust, clarity, and confidence that come from being fully in your body. This isn't something you learn and forget. It's felt, and what is felt can't be taken away.
By the end of the journey, you will have:
-
Found your way back into your body — not as something to be corrected or managed, but as a living, intelligent place to come home to. You'll notice the moment your shoulders drop, the breath that arrives on its own, the quiet yes or no that shows up in your chest before the mind has caught up.
-
Reconnected to your source — that inner axis where clarity lives. You'll feel the difference between a decision made from fear and one that rises from somewhere steadier, and you'll recognise what's true for you before anyone else's opinion can colour it. Saying no will cost you less.
-
Learnt to move with life rather than against it — attuning to the natural rhythm of your own energy, your cycles, your seasons. A tired day becomes information rather than failure, and the expansive days no longer leave you wrung out by evening.
-
Released what has accumulated — the tension you've carried in your jaw, your hips, your held breath; the emotions stored in the body; the old versions of yourself ready to be set down. Gently, without drama, to make room for what's emerging.
-
Been held by a circle of women — because none of this happens alone. There's a particular ease that comes from moving beside others who are doing the same inner work: being witnessed without having to explain yourself, and witnessing them in return.
HOW DOES IT WORK
-
Five weekly gatherings, live and online on Zoom. We meet together, in real time, as a circle — never a recording you watch alone.
-
Day and time: Wednesdays from 7 to 8:30pm (90 minutes)
-
Movement and touch, in every session: Guided practice you follow in your own space, plus gentle self-touch that returns you to your own pulse.
-
An opening and a closing circle. No pressure to speak but we hold presence with our breaths
-
A short video practice each week to practice and a journal between sessions. A simple solo practice and a weekly reflection to carry the work into your days.
-
What you'll need: a little space to move, and a device. Sessions will be recorded for anyone who must miss one.

QUESTIONS
Do I need movement or dance experience? None at all. The practice is slow, simple, and led entirely by sensation — there is nothing to perform and nothing to get right.
Is it really live? Yes. We gather together in real time as a circle. That shared presence is the heart of the journey, not an add-on. [State whether sessions are recorded for missed weeks.]
What if I miss a week? [Your answer — e.g. sessions are recorded so you can catch up, but you're warmly encouraged to attend live.]
Is this only for women? Yes — by design. Somapresence is a method created for the female body, and the circle is a space held for women.
Do I have to be on camera? [Your answer — reassure her about privacy and being seen.]
Who is it for? [One or two lines — women feeling stretched thin, disconnected from their bodies, sensing there's more aliveness available to them.]
