LIVE AT ZUZA's
Body Process:
an Open Circle
This event is a small group excursion into embodied process work, shamanic entry, and deep play –– to explore and transform what's in the way of love and the full expression of our unique contribution to the world.
Each participant will have the option to receive a session facilitated by Zuza, with everyone else's attention (and sometimes participation). Held in a strong field of presence, you will have space and permission to follow the thread of your own discovery.
After each session we will share our experiences, and if there's interest, discuss some aspects of the practice relevant to what just happened. These sessions will be interspersed with dyad practices, expressive and integrative interludes (movement, breath, art, writing), teaching, and discussion.
Join us if you are interested in the magic and medicine generated in the field of Presence when we take the time to show up, get in touch with what’s real, and support each other in exploring the mess and miracle of living a full, generous, embodied human life.
Open Circle
What we will do
Held in a strong field of shared aspiration, deepen Your capacity for bringing loving, spacious, unconditional attention to your own experience and to others as we fumble together toward an embodied existence.
We will explore body, heart, and soul to find what is real and what needs attention and healing – or completion – or just full expression – through breath, sound, movement, and words.
We will sense, feel, listen deeply. We may cry and laugh and carry on. Possibly A LOT.
Everyone (who wants to) will receive an individual session facilitated by Zuza and witnessed by the circle.
Group sharing, teaching, and discussion are included for deeper understanding and integration of the Body Process method.
We will engage in dyad practices for skill building in resourcing, resonance and reflection.
Lose your mind and come back to your senses.
FRITZ PERLS - ORIGINATOR OF GESTALT THERAPY
Join to receive a body process session while held in a strong circle of love. Experience surprise, heart opening, joy, grief, integration of loose ends from your past, or first steps toward a new future.
To connect with yourself (and others) in the practice of living grounded in reality as different from interpretation, projection, analysis, or mental assessment.
For self-discovery, deepening, opening, softening, possibly deep healing, hopefully some laughter.
Body Process
⭐ This workshop qualifies as a prerequisite for the Moving with Life Yearlong Program
In motion, with breath, sound, imagination, in community. In the spirit of somatic inquiry, curiosity, inclusion.
To contact what is here, explore possibility, and express what wants to move, breathe, and live!
The circle is open to people who are interested in experiencing Body Process for personal or professional growth and in learning what happens behind the scenes in this approach.
This is not a therapy group even though the work we do is deeply healing. It’s a circle for self-discovery, expression and exploring creative options for moving forward in life.
We may likely touch memories of past pain or places in you that may have been forgotten or hidden from awareness. Willingness to be present for this process of discovery is essential, though you will never be pushed or forced to continue if you know it's not a good direction for you.
Prior experience in somatics, conscious movement, inner work, and/or spiritual practice is helpful. This container is not so good if you have never touched your inner experience before.
If you are living with acute effects of trauma affecting your day to day life or feel overwhelming grief due to a great recent loss, you will not receive here the kind of exclusive attention your process may require.
You must appreciate the practice of being present for others' process to find this endeavor interesting, otherwise you may quickly lose patience!
If unsure, please email us or schedule a chat with Zuza.
Is this what you are looking for?
There is a place in me that has been discovered, has been given space and attention and room to breathe. I have felt in the very cells of my body that I am enough, that I am worthy of love.
The love and support of the container you created allowed me to feel safe enough to crack open, to feel the depths of old pain and grief, to be held, seen and accepted in my vulnerability.
SUSAN MCDANIEL – somatic coach

Therapists, movement teachers, coaches, body workers:
This workshop will help you shift from talk therapy modalities into SOMATIC explorations OF PRESENCE AND SUPPORT PEOPLE IN YOUR GROUPS IN THEIR INNER PROCESS
Do you want to learn how to bring your clients from the thinking, talking head into the sensing, feeling body?
What if it's not about technique but the practice of being embodied, so you can support others more fully? After all, you can only take your clients as far as you have traveled. Let us accompany you for this next stretch of your journey.
Are you intrigued by the possibility of integrating somatics into your clinical practice, teaching, or small group work?
