We are shaped by relationship long before we have words for it. The people we grew up alongside, the dynamics we moved through, moments of connection and rupture throughout our lives…all of it has an impact. A relational shape that quietly orients us toward what feels okay, and away from what doesn't.

This workshop is an invitation to explore that shape. To get curious about it. To build a language within yourself to be in relationship with it.

Words are not our first language, the felt sense is. We work with what's felt, what's sensed, what emerges when we slow down enough to notice.

Over three days, we’ll begin mapping the relational shape of you. Developing a language between you and you to scaffold an understanding of the shapes you’ve taken. Listening deeper to the protective wisdom that guided your nervous system towards survival. Relationally understanding the protective shapes as they are now.

This embodied experiential work orients you toward what's alive and okay, even inside hard relational moments.

We’ll help you craft a practice of turning toward relationship with your wise protective shape. Deliberate practices to return to, again and again. Built upon a coherent emerging map that belongs to you, and more capacity to stay with yourself when relating gets hard.

This work is for you if you're doing your own deep work and ready to say yes to turning toward what has been holding you stuck: taking a peek at it, exploring it, and discerning what comes next. You have a sense there's more to experience inside connection.

Practitioners and healers are warmly welcome, to learn experientially alongside everyone else. No CEs are offered here. This is embodied work to bring into your life, and perhaps also your work.

Come alone or bring someone you trust — a friend, partner, or accountability buddy you want to learn and explore alongside, someone you feel okay enough to face the hard with.

Trust and intimacy grows when we look toward what's sticky, not away from it.

This is a live, interactive online gathering, guided and conversational. Our group may be intimate or could take the shape of up to 30 participants.

Each session you'll develop micro practices that become yours. The hope is that you make a practice of returning to them long beyond our time together. Each day builds upon the day before. Because of the experiential nature of our work, there will be no recordings. Plan to be present each day for the full three hours.

Hi, I’m Rebecca

I've been walking alongside people in their relational healing journeys for over 20 years. My work weaves together somatic practices, relational presence, and trust in the wisdom of your nervous system. It draws from a range of modalities including Somatic Experiencing, the STAIR Method, Deep Brain Reorienting, IFS, and Relational Life Therapy, among others.

I'm a 50-something neurospicy, cis woman shaped by a diasporic lineage. I live and work in New York's Hudson Valley, on the ancestral land of the Lenape people, with my partner, our teens, and a handful of four-legged mischief makers. I am nerdy, quirky and quietly revolutionary. Drawn to imagination, world-building, and slow, unfolding processes. My work is grounded in listening for hidden patterns of justice and possibility, and a deep commitment to shared power.

Tiered pricing is available to keep this work as accessible as possible.
