Community Somatic Practice
Community Practice is a weekly drop in space offering 50 minutes of embodied practice for discharging stress, building emotional resilience and integrating more consistency in your somatic practice. Practices include intuitive movement, polyvagal exercises, nervous system care, attachment tending, ritual, and resilience building.
One of the biggest difficulties I see my clients face is being able to find the time and commitment to engage a somatic practice. This drop in space can be used as a supplemental or a stand alone commitment to your somatic care routine. It takes months, if not years to create new neural pathways and behavioral patterns, but creating more space and practicing in groups can help move the journey along.
Additionally, we meet over zoom which makes this accessible and convenient no matter where you are. For many, practicing therapeutic somatics from the comfort of your own home creates the safety and support needed to dive deep and get vulnerable. Additionally, zoom creates the opportunity to work with folks who are not directly in your community that share your values and similar life experience.
Schedule: Tuesdays at 3 pm est
Attendance is subscription based and you sign up for two or four times monthly.
COST: $90 - $180 / month
“Scarlet is an excellent practitioner, an epic facilitator, and a deep listener who always helps me laugh in the darkest moments. I have worked with her in both 1-1 coaching and groups, and I HIGHLY recommend both. She is a true revolutionary who cares deeply and walks the practice of what she teaches. Our work together has expanded my sense of self, and deepened my ability to ground and create internal safety even amidst a wildly uncertain world. ”
“Scarlet expertly cultivates one of the safest, most held containers I’ve ever been in. Additionally, she goes above and beyond to ensure you stay within your window of tolerance as you open energetic movement throughout your body in ways completely forgotten in modern society. If you ever get a chance to work with her, take it! The chance to be witnessed in community with supportive, loving, trauma informed facilitation is a beautiful, rare and deeply transformative experience.”
Community Practice Agreements
I will act as a safe community member by:
I will hold anything shared in the group as 100% confidential (Do not share the identities, stories or experiences of other people that you see at community Practice.
To the best of my ability, I will not judge others.
I will hold the other participants with the best positive regard.
I will keep the focus on myself and my own practice.
I will be as compassionate as possible with myself and others.
If something in the community practice happens that makes me feel unsafe or has a negative impact on me I will reach out to Scarlet immediately via the feedback form in the community portal.
I understand that this is an anti-oppressive space with a zero tolerance policy for acts or speech of supremacy and prejudice.
Because this space is for resilience building and not emotional processing:
I will not push myself beyond my safe edge. If something feels emotionally challenging I will dial the practice back, ask for a modification or take a break.
I will keep my reflections focused on the practice and its impact on my current embodied experience. I will not share personal histories or details from my past. If context feels necessary to your share keep it brief and general. Example of appropriate reflection: “I am currently struggling in my romantic relationship and I could feel some of my resentment that was stuck in my chest shift and dissolve during that practice. The shaking and jumping specifically was really helpful.” Example of inappropriate reflection: “Recently my partner cheated on me and I moved out of my home and I’ve been in a major depression because this has triggered by abandonment issues from my mother cheating on my father and leaving when I was a kid. I could feel this practice free up some of that heaviness…”
If, for whatever reason, you are not able to meet any of the following guidelines, please skip the session.
If I am more than 10 minutes late, I will skip the session. If I am less than 10 minutes late, I will jump in where I can and will wait for Scarlet to catch me up if needed. Whenever possible I will show up two - three minutes early.
I will attend sessions from a physical space that feels private and conducive somatic practice
I understand that having my camera on is not necessary, but that it can add a great deal of depth to the session.
I acknowledge that if I am not able to meet any of the group agreements Scarlet can remove me from the space at any time.
