Soma Seasons
Soma Seasons is a year long somatic program (that you can join at anytime) for those who are seeking to experience the full breadth and depth of our somatic self and become seasoned in somatics for the female nervous system. The seasonality of our body contains intrinsic themes that, when embodied, amplify our capacity to heal and expand our lives.
If you are looking for a longer, more comprehensive training in somatics and a more in-depth opportunity to transform your own nervous system through a strong community, Soma Seasons is for you. Soma Seasons is open for enrollment year round, meaning you can join at anytime.
Are you on a healing or trauma resolution journey for yourself?
Has it felt like you are ready to heal and transform patterns where it actually happens, in the body?
Are you curious about how you can make a greater impact on your clients?
Would you like to transform lives through the power of somatics for the female nervous system?
We have mounting evidence showing that without integrating the body in our work, we will underserve our clients. Whether you hold space for trauma resolution, therapy, body work, yoga, business coaching, energy work, parenting, teaching, or more, integrating somatics into your work is fundamental to creating long-term, highly impactful shifts for your clients.
Are you ready to step into your own embodied authenticity so that you can hold space with not only more skills but also your full presence?
We will meet every other tuesday 11-1pm cst on zoom (recordings all uploaded to our member portal) for a year, along with supplemental classes on Female Neuropsychophysiology, Cyclical Embodiment and more
Soma Seasons includes all classes that are held in the upcoming Soma School + Soma School Mentorship cohorts over the next year
Classes with guest teachers including topics like Money + The nervous system, Neuro-Somatic Health, Somatic Dreamwork, Cycle Meal planning, and more
Soma Seasons includes access to our community chat to share questions, reflections, and connect with other students, as well as Case Consults where everyone will have the chance to bring questions about their clients somatic healing and receive support
An in depth test and certification process to ensure you embody your somatic prowess and become a master in your field
All classes will be recorded and uploaded to the member portal for those who would like a self-paced option. You can join Soma Seasons at any point in time because it runs continously, with options for working 1 on 1 with Veronica in your own personal somatic trauma resolution journey,
Over the course of the year Soma Seasons offers a comprehensive and experiential education in somatics for women that shorter programs simply cannot offer. We will weave together a circle of womb coregulation that is essential to the female nervous system yet is often missing in our healing journey. With more time we will be able to take our time and therefore dive deeper into all aspects of the female nervous system and more.
As cyclical beings we move through so many seasons of life as we evolve through the life death rebirth cycle. Each season brings forth emotional, energetic, physical, and nervous system based themes, challenges and gifts. When we move with each season instead of in resistance, life flows and we expand. In Soma Seasons we will refine our capacity to digest what comes with each season by growing fluency in our bodyʼs wisdom and ability to heal together.
Each season will last 3 months starting with
Inner Winter
We begin where everything begins, in the dark deep cave of inner winter where life goes quietly underground. Its from this rich fertile place, and only this place where our light begins to express what it found in the dark. Our inner winter is a season through which we expand our lives the most, if we are willing to be fully in it and embody the sensations, emotions, and energetic imprints in our nervous system, In this module we will focus on
-The neuropsychophysiological events of our Inner WInter from a nervous system based lens
Interoception
-The menstrual phase, early + late pregnancy+ postpartum, menopause
The freeze/shutdown response
Parasympathetic Activation
The inner crone
The emotions + sensations associated with parasympathetic activation
The next season is Inner Spring
When we get quiet enough in our inner winter, we can hear the subtle whisper of what wants to expand our lives to the fullest. Through the lens of the nervous system + womb relationship we enter into our inner spring tenderly, planting each foot delicately on the earth as we make our way out of life underground. Our inner spring brings rebirth, expansive pleasure, play, and an ability to slowly befriend sympathetic upregulation in all its forms. Inner spring lays a foundation for more nervous system capacity, the ability to digest activation in the nervous system, and begin to step into our embodied coherence. In this module we will focus on
The physiological themes of inner spring in the nervous system
Exteroception
The follicular phase, Birth, The Second Spring of Menopause
Sympathetic Activation
The fawn response
The Maiden Archetype
Coming out of freeze
The emotions and sensations experienced in sympathetic activation
After the steady growth of spring comes our Inner Summer, the peak of our expansion. Our Inner Summer stretches the edges of our nervous system capacity, renegotiating energy that was once used for survival into energy channeled towards thriving again. Inner summer brings full fruition, heat, magnetism and full-embodied presence. In this module we will dive into
Inner summer through the lens of the nervous system
Emotional Digestion
Ovulation, Conception, Pleasure Anatomy
Sympathetic activation
The fight response
The Mother archetype
The emotions and sensations we feel in sympathetic activation
After our inner summer comes our inner Autumn, the initial descent where rewilding, resolving, and integration happen.
We are moving through a nervous system pruning, where new neural pathways become available if were able and willing to stay in our bodies with the discomfort of the charge being renegotiated. Inner Autumn takes us on a downshifting journey where all that needs to fall away has the potential to, laying down the foundation upon which our next embodied experience can begin to take root. In this module we will dive into
The physiology of Inner Autumn from a nervous system lens
Integration
The luteal Phase, the stage of labor known as transition, postpartum, perimenopause
The inner wild woman
The emotions + sensations associated with parasmpathetic activation
There will also be a certification process that involves a take home test. Those who complete Soma Seasons and the test will receive a certificate.
