DANCE THE CONTRAST with Lauren Nagel Sunday, July DANCE THE CONTRAST with Lauren Nagel
Sunday, July 26,6:00 – 8:00pm
$48~68, sliding scale

In this workshop, we'll explore a favorite sensual embodiment pillar: CONTRAST. The delight of dancing to two opposing song energies in succession - light and dark, fast and slow, electronic and organic - letting your body decide what kind of journey feels most present and pleasure-filled. Do you like to start slowly and build? Do you want to shake it all off and then melt? What lights you up about multiple energies in a single song, or different songs back-to-back?

The Rose Temple with @eva_chaska Saturday, July 1 The Rose Temple with @eva_chaska 
Saturday, July 18, 3:00 – 4:30pm
SomaSpace, 4050 NE Broadway, Portland, OR 97232, USA
$20~40, sliding scale

A ceremonial gathering for women, non-binary, and femme-identifying people.

The Rose Temple is a ceremonial embodiment journey inspired by the wisdom of Rose, one of Eva's greatest plant teachers. Over the past seven years, her own healing journey has led her into a deeper relationship with the feminine through embodiment, movement, voice, and the wisdom of nature. Together with the heart-opening medicine of cacao, this gathering invites each participant to slow down, listen deeply, and reconnect with the tender yet powerful wisdom they already carry within. Through ceremony, movement, voice, meditation, and heart-centered sharing, we'll create a space of sisterhood where each person is invited to soften, be witnessed, and remember that healing doesn't have to happen alone. As Eva's first offering in Portland—the City of Roses—it feels especially meaningful to gather in the heart of July and share this medicine in community.

Dancing Through Discomfort Sunday, July 19, 4:00 – Dancing Through Discomfort
Sunday, July 19, 4:00 – 6:00pm
$40~80, sliding scale

As beautiful as our values and intentions may be, many of us still carry old patterns of emotional reactivity that limit our ability to gracefully navigate challenges in our relationships and communities. By bringing awareness to these patterns and learning how to tend to them, we can meet these hard moments with more empowered choice and emotional resilience.

In this 2-hour workshop, facilitated by Somatic Experiencing Practitioner Lux Gypsum, you'll explore your inherited patterns of emotional reactivity and discover how they can be transformed through embodied awareness, movement, and self-compassion. You will walk away more empowered to hold your center and tend to your edges in the midst of life’s challenges.

As we approach this national holiday, we here at S As we approach this national holiday, we here at SomaSpace are reflecting on the beautiful interwoven connection between us all. We need each other, as people, as sentient beings of nature, and as divine souls.

We are truly inter-dependant. We are strengthened through our connections. We are stronger through our weavings of self, community, movement, and nature.

This year, when people seek to pull us apart, to divide and conquer us, to terrorize and fear-monger, we must come together even stronger. We must fight for ourselves and each other. We must double down on the interconnectedness of all beings.

At SomaSpace, our mission is to help people honor embodiment and greater consciousness through practices that create profound self-connection and interrelatedness with others and the Earth.

$15~25, NOTAFLOF
Pay at the door

In this class, your body and mind will be engaged in an active learning process as you are guided verbally through a sequence of slow, focused, enjoyable movements. You will deepen into the parasympathetic (aka “rest and digest”) state of your nervous system and learn to apply curious attention to your own sensory experience to discover new, more pleasurable ways of moving.

These circles are guided through devotion to the Divine Feminine and the awakening of unity consciousness within the heart. Many participants share that they leave feeling deeply supported, heart-opened, expanded, and reconnected to the sacred presence within themselves.

Temple is a place of devotion, spiritual practice, and community where we gather to remember who we truly are and support one another in embodying that truth.

Plant Wisdom Circle with Lavender and Amy Friday, Plant Wisdom Circle with Lavender and Amy
Friday, July 10
6:00 – 8:00pm
$25~45, sliding scale

In this month's plant wisdom circle, we will work with the spirit of Lavender. A beautiful spirit to bring us ease us during the loud summer months, de-escalate our nervous systems, and give us a space of steady reprieve. Together we will create a ceremonial space to journey with Lavender's medicine. You will have time to sit in silent meditation to connect with the spirit of Lavender and receive messages from this powerful presence.

This way of communing with plant spirits allows you to find embodied connection with plant medicine. So, the wisdom of the plant lives within you, not just from what you read about their medicine. Join us in community at this time of summer light.

Happy Summer Solstice, to our beautiful community! Happy Summer Solstice, to our beautiful community!

#summersolstice is when the day is the longest and the night is the shortest. It is the time when the tilt of the Earth brings us closest to the sun and we feel the full power of those heavenly rays. The word “solstice” comes from the Latin “solstitium”, which translates to “sun stands still”. On these long days, when the sun pauses, our spirits yearn to be fully alive, to be moving, and celebrating! Let's honor that energy of expansion and expression together! Check out our calendar for sweet summer embodiment classes and ongoing interrelatedness events for fostering deeper connection.

Wishing each and every one of you an #abundant, #fiery, #confident, and #purposeful Summer!
