Balance and Boundaries - A Somatic Practice Session

Most of us know what boundaries are in theory. Saying no. Protecting your time. Not taking on what isn't yours. The harder part is noticing where your boundaries actually are — and what you want them to be. This session is a chance to slow down and pay attention to exactly that. What we'll do We'll open with a centering practice: a simple, structured way of paying attention to how you're standing, breathing, and holding yourself. It's how we'll arrive and settle in — and it's also a practical skill in its own right. Centering builds the capacity to stay steady and present, which is exactly what's needed in the moments when a boundary is being tested. From there, we'll talk through the main types of boundaries — physical, emotional, mental, time and energy — in plain language, so we're all working with the same vocabulary. Then we'll move into a guided visualization. You'll be invited to move freely as you reflect on two questions: how are boundaries showing up in your life today, and what would you like them to look like going forward? We'll pair up to talk through what came up, followed by a short group discussion. You share as much or as little as you like. You'll also take home a recording of the guided somatic practices, so you can return to them anytime. We close the evening with a shared meal. Good to know No experience needed — this isn't a fitness class or therapy, just a structured way to spend time with a question most of us never slow down for. Wear something comfortable. Space is limited to 20 people.
