Touch & Be Touched: The Thai Massage & Somatic Touch Experience
with Starry Summers
Sunday, May 28, 2023
3:00-5:30pm
Celebrate your capacity to open and harmonize your heart and body with another human being, bringing sweet release of tension through touch.
In this Touch & Be Touched Workshop, Starry guides you through relaxing and connecting somatic practices that sync your body's rhythms with your partner's or friend's for co-regulation and maximum enjoyment.
We will lay the foundation by coaxing our nervous systems into profound relaxation using Somatic Experiencing techniques. Learn a little about the neuroscience behind held trauma and how we can engage with another caring human in a way that creates a feeling of safety and real attunement. Experience and share powerful techniques from Somatic Experiencing to regulate your nervous system.
Then you and your partner will share these gentle approaches while you trade giving and receiving Thai Yoga Massage.
Thai Yoga Massage combines rhythmic massage, acupressure, gentle twisting, deep stretching, and breathwork. You will use hands, feet, arms, and legs and your own body weight to gently guide your partner through a series of passive yoga postures involving fluid movements and gentle stretching. This creates a “dance” with rhythm and soothing rocking motions that can allow both you and your partner to journey to states of deep relaxation and peace.
Grab a friend or loved one and enjoy!
Please wear stretchy or loose-fitting clothing and bring pillows, blankets and padding. You will be laying on the floor.

Love Revealed: The Somatic Neuro-Hacking and Family Constellations Workshop
with Starry Summers and Rita Gendelman
Sunday, April 2
2:00-5:00pm
To register: https://momence.com/s/85420257
This highly experiential workshop will activate and increase your innate capacity to feel peaceful, vulnerable, and loving. With our powerful intention as a group, we will journey into our stored memories, cellular and ancestral, to reveal the natural peace and radiance your body is meant to express. This gentle process allows you to open to love and authentically connect with others.
We will lay the foundation by coaxing our nervous systems into profound relaxation using Somatic Experiencing techniques. By learning to utilize the most current, mind-blowing neuroscience, like Polyvagal Theory, we will explore how trauma has shaped our unconscious reactions and patterns. When trauma occurs, our biological need to survive triggers a protection response such as avoidance, or over-reactivity. It’s no fun! Some part of us typically stays stuck in that protection vortex until we experience this kind of deep trust and safety in our own bodies and with others.
From this relaxed and regulated position, the group moves forward with Family Constellation Method to connect with the layers of trauma stored in our cells and our DNA. Each one of us, on a cellular level, holds the pain of our ancestors who suffered through war and disasters, and all kinds of untold trauma. That lineage pain may still be expressing itself today through the challenges experienced in one’s current life. There exists a “place of belonging” within ourselves for the expression of that. This process allows us to connect with our ancestors, on multiple levels, restoring the flow of love and finding peace in our hearts.
You will walk away from this workshop understanding and loving more about your body, your past and the gifts you bring to others.
