Follow Your Body
A 3-month Group Immersion
For The Deeply Sensate Woman
Recovering Instinctual Essence
Protecting Porousness
Giving Space To What Is True
Letting Body Lead The Way
Follow Your Body is an intimate group chrysalis for the Woman who knows that the Body is Her Way.
She is deeply sensate and the instinctual current that moves through her body is her primary compass. The felt sense of true-ness is an organising principle in her Life. It is a devotional pathway that she simply must inhabit and follow.
Sometimes though, she forgets. Her cellular, alive knowing gets lost or drowned out. Her sensate nature makes her incredibly porous to the world around her, and she might struggle to define where she ends and Other begins. Her Shape, as in, the felt, alive expression of her true-ness, can become blurry and unclear. She might lose contact with the direct experience of her own aliveness, essence, feelings, needs, boundaries, truth & direction. She confuses other people's Shapes for her own. Untethered from her primary partner - instinct - life feels hollow, she becomes drained and unwell, and she can get pulled into situations that do not work or are even dangerous for her wellbeing.
She has experienced the cost of rejecting her instinctual, embodied nature, and she is no longer prepared to continue down that road. But, radically listening for and obeying her instinct can feel overwhelming, lonely and even threatening at times. It often doesn't fit in with her plans, her identity or how she wants to be perceived by others. It contrasts with how culture taught she should behave. Still, it's the only thing that really tastes true, and she'd rather feel the grief of loss & change than abandon herself. She longs to completely recentre her Body and its wisdom.
Follow Your Body is a space dedicated to meeting, recovering and protecting the instinctual intelligence of the Body. A space where you are invited to feel and inhabit your True Shape, moment-to-moment, in your flavours and textures. Where we, as a group, will practice trusting the inherent intelligence of the body and the moment - not as a mental concept but as a felt experience.
For The Woman Who...
- knows that her deeply sensate nature is a gift and that it is requiring fiercer care & protection
- can become flooded with other people's ideas, expectations, feelings & desires and wants to discover and inhabit more of her own true shape
- knows that a Body-Up orientation to life is the only way for her, but sometimes forgets that is where her genius lives
- wants to feel and meet the moment as it is, growing her faith in its inherent trustworthiness & intelligence, whatever the flavour
About Your Facilitator, Sophie
I am a lover of the body, an artist, and a somatic explorer and guide. My work seeks to liberate instinct and reclaim the sensate wisdom and aliveness of the feeling, human experience. Multiplicitous by nature, in my spaces I blend my passions for the deep feminine, dance, anatomy, feminism, neurodiversity, writing, somatics & a devotional, embodied relationship with the natural world. My approach is spontaneous, Body-Up, and responsive to the environment & group field. I have been facilitating group & 1:1 spaces for the last 7 years. I am deeply informed by my studies with the Deep Feminine Mystery School & Maya Luna, contemporary somatic dance practices and my own lived experience and relationship with the goddess.
