This workshop invites participants to get in touch with their bodies in a nurturing way.
Writing prompts and somatic exercises will be provided to help participants tap into what they wish to communicate to their bodies, and to imagine what their bodies may wish to communicate back to them.

DO I NEED TO HAVE EXPERIENCE WITH SOMATIC EXERCISES OR WORRY ABOUT PHYSICAL INTENSITY?
Not at all! The exercises are gentle and adaptable to all levels of mobility, focusing on nurturing connection rather than physical intensity. This workshop is designed to meet you where you are, both physically and emotionally.
MEET YOUR WORKSHOP HOST
Jungle Flower
Trauma-Informed Wellness Facilitator, Jungle Flower Wellness
Hi, I'm Jungle Flower! I'm a certified trauma-informed writing guide who takes a holistic approach to supporting people who've experienced abuse and S.A. I use writing, sound baths, somatic approaches and art to help people process their trauma and live whole and integrated lives.
In 2012, I founded Reclaim Your Voice, and began offering free events to bring together the survivor community. We received the Mayor's Community Safety Award in 2021 from the so-called City of Toronto. My intention in creating this organization was to support people on their healing journeys, but I didn't expect how much this growing community would help me on mine. There is so much power in connecting with people who have shared similar experiences. We learn from each other, we remember that we are not at all alone on our paths, and we realize that we too have so much wisdom to share.
At my sessions, you are in the driver's seat of your experience. All of my exercises and instructions are merely suggestions and you can engage with them in a way that feels safe and comfortable for you.
I have facilitated events like these and others at universities across Turtle Island and as your guide, I hold sacred the trust you bestow upon me. You are your healer; my work is to help create the conditions for your soma to heal, which it innately knows how to do.
