Somatic Sanctuary School
Come home to your body and feel like yourself again!
Imagine a soft place to land
What if you could…
Feel less stressed and more centered - even when the world feels faster, louder, artificial, and chaotic?
Directly experience your body as ease, light, grace, peace, Love, ALIVE - and align your physical experience with your divine magnificence, without the bypass
Understand what “listen to your body” actually means, trust your inner wisdom, and be sovereign in your health, wellness, and healing journey?
Cultivate more energy, presence, and take up space, without apology, justification, or “selfish” guilt?
Learn HOW TO feel safer in your skin and build your ground within - instead of only reaching for unreliable external sources to take the edge off
This and more is your birthright.
NOW is the time to remember how.
Are you ready…
To reclaim the Truth that your body IS a sacred portal;
NOT a machine we have been conditioned to believe?
The current collective (un)consciousness of the world is steeped in warped, ancient paradigms of disconnection, disembodiment, and dehumanization.
Although positive shifts are occurring, the world is simultaneously getting faster, louder, more intense, and artificial. (Psst…it’s not slowing down anytime soon.)
If you feel like something is wrong with you, there isn’t.
You have been adapting to a chronically stressed out society stuck in survival mode insisting to push through, tolerate dis-ease, and sleep when you’re dead. For the sake of being productive “enough” - whatever that means.
You have been brainwashed to believe that your body is something to judge, criticize, compare, measure, bully, berate, bypass, ignore, shame, blame, fix.
It’s no wonder the reach for easy fixes to take the edge off is, well, easy.
DO YOU…
Often feel overwhelmed, overstimulated, and stressed out by the world
Suffer from burnout, exhaustion, energetic bankruptcy, done, dis-ease
Feel tired of being told that you are too sensitive or too emotional
Struggle keeping your vibe high all the time, or you’re doing spirituality “wrong”
Wonder why self-care feels like another thing on your to-do list
Want to increase your body awareness and decode its signals
Wish you could stop living in your head and feel safer in your skin
Long for connection and to reduce loneliness in ways that work for you
Crave structure and support to deepen your somatic, spiritual, wellness journey
There is a way out…within
COME HOME TO YOUR BODY
What does that even mean!?
I get it. I have been exploring this question personally and professionally for a few decades now.
As a highly sensitive empath that feels almost everything almost all of the time, Life can be ALOT. Sometimes I live in technicolor, other times I'd rather live in a cave.
Fortunately through my kinesthetic inclinations, body geekness, and devotion to living more than a mediocre life, I have found by way back home - that center within where I can exhale, soften, and feel supported from the inside out.
The place where I shift out of survival mode long enough for my body to slow down, settle, ground.
The space where I access my body wisdom that reflects the voice of my Soul.
The inner quietude where I can tune in, listen, and tend to MY needs and desires.
The arrival of the present moment where all of my (and your) power resides to create, live, and thrive.
When surrounded by 24/7 overstimulation and deep-rooted inhumane cultural conditioning, not to mention early developmental experiences and other Life along the way…
(DEEP BREATH)
…it can be challenging to stay connected to an easeful way of being.
The way back home to your body?
Simply, knowledge, skills, support.
Knowledge of what your body really is and the magnificence of how it works to naturally return you back to ease, homeostasis, harmony allthetime - no matter what is occurring in the external world.
Skills that help you get out of your head, reunite you to your body wisdom, and are practical to apply in daily life - where it matters most!
Support in a variety of ways to guide you back into the Truth of your divine human nature.
Somatic Sanctuary School offers a range of knowledge, skills, and support to close the gap between disconnection and belonging, disembodiment and sovereignty, dehumanization and compassion.
C’mon, counter culture, and come home!
If a highly sensitive empath can remember her somatic birthright, you can too ;-)

Somatic Sanctuary School is like a foreign language school for your body.
It is designed with a respectful acknowledgment that the body can be an unfamiliar, strange, and sometimes deeply uncomfortable internal territory.
Given that, it offers an investment-friendly price point and a range of options in rhythm and content, so that you can pace yourself and acclimate, from dipping your toe in to diving deep.
You can digest as much or as little as you wish, anywhere from 30 minutes a week to a few hours a month or more.
Trust your instincts and know that this support and structure is here for you anytime to remember your body as a sanctuary, instead of a problem to solve.

Although it may not feel this way at times, or ever, your body is magnificent. If a highly sensitive empath can find her way back home and feel more connected, comfortable, and confident from the inside out, you certainly can!

"I now have strategies and choices on how to respond"
“Somatic Sanctuary has allowed me the freedom to break some of those patterns that were no longer serving me. The tools I have in my toolbox allow me to see each relationship and situation through new eyes while understanding how it is affecting my body. I now have strategies and choices on how to respond and change the way I am responded to. This has been life changing + I am just getting started!

— Rev. Gina
My Love for the Lotus
Coming home to your body and remembering HOW TO actually inhabit it is a brave act.
The journey within can be bumpy, clunky, and muddy at times.
You also get to directly experience more ease and grace from the inside out, without a prescription pad.
In Somatic Sanctuary School, there exists deep respect for the “sacred and” to honor both the messy and the beautiful on the journey. ALL of you gets to belong.
Because…no mud, no lotus.
The Truth is that YOU matter.
By the very nature of your existence, you belong. You are part of the interconnected web of life, woven into the fabric of divinity, humanity, and the natural world.
Beyond numbing, checking out, tolerating, scrolling, stressing, or self-medicating, there are other ways to BE in the world.
In between the ebbs and flow of Life, your body is naturally, physiologically, and energetically designed to return to ease, center, homeostasis, regulation, harmony. This is not a wish or nice to have. It is your birthright.
Your body is really, really smart. It is an inner guide, an intelligent resource, a sacred portal.
It is the voice of your Soul.
It made of the same stuff as everything that has Life running through it, including stardust.
It takes remembering, practicing, embodying, and support in this upside down world - and you can totally do it!
Frequently Asked Questions
What if I too much going on?
Exactly. The Somatic Sanctuary School is about supporting you to cultivate more balance between doing and being. It’s also lifting the veil, breaking the spell, exiting the Matrix, and releasing the trance that keeps us more machine-like and less divine human. This takes time, consistency, practice, and community to remember our true nature and a more humane way of living.
And…it needs to be resonant for you in time, money, and energy. Trust your instincts. If you’d like a conversation to help clarify, contact Lisa.
What if I can’t attend everything?
Consider the Somatic Sanctuary School as a menu. You have a variety of choices - an appetizer, a meal, a feast - to choose from depending on the current flow of your life. You do not have to do everything!
This is a pressure-free space to dip your toe, take a swim, or dive in. A variety of easy-to-digest pieces are offered at different times and timeframes, from 30-minutes to a few hours. Choose what and when it fits and know that you will never be behind.
Is this trauma therapy?
Since the Somatic Sanctuary School has everything to do with the body and all of your experiences it houses, inevitably you will connect with some degree of stuck stress, stagnant energy, and unprocessed emotions.
The Somatic Sanctuary School is trauma-informed and one of core courses, Nervous System Wellness Foundations, focuses on nervous system education and empowerment. You learn skills and tools in a supportive environment to cultivate a safer and more easeful experience in your body that you can take into daily life as well as to a therapeutic context.
Though you may experience therapeutic results, this journey is not “therapy” per se. For your wellbeing, if you experience more than you can process on your own, are too far outside your “window of tolerance,” or need more therapeutic/energetic healing, it is vital that you receive support aligned with your needs. Referral resources are available.
Please reach out, even if it feels hard to do so. You are not alone!
Annual or monthly membership?
The Somatic Sanctuary School is designed as a supportive and positive paradigm shifting learning environment to strengthen your connection to your body and Self. Feeling more alive as a human be-ing in our disconnected, disembodied world is an ongoing process. I practice daily!
We encourage you to view your participation as a journey, so that you can focus on YOU without rushing, timelines, or pressure.
Choose what feels good to you and if you have any questions, please reach out. You can cancel anytime.
Do you have 30-day money back guarantee?
Yes, let us know within 30 days and receive a full refund, no questions asked. If you do have questions along the way, please do ask and we’ll do our best to support your needs.
You CAN come home again and feel like yourself again. Remember and reclaim your birthright to feel more connected, comfortable, and confident in your own skin.
Give your soul a comfortable place to live, evolve, and thrive!
COME BACK TO LIFE.
