Dear one,

I am ecstatic that you’re here. Thank you for your interest in this forum. In its 2nd year, this offering has evolved + shaped by the requests + needs of my community. Below are the details of this container, so you can be fully informed before committing to sign up. I sure hope you join us!

If you have any questions, please email me ~ brannen.julie@gmail.com.

What is a community forum?

I see this experience as a space to connect + reflect, guided by someone (in this case, me), in order to explore our beings in their current forms + our desires for the future. The forum style is geared toward Emergent Strategy principles in starting small + seeing what wants to come forth. I firmly believe in the wisdom of the body. Rather than me as the ‘keeper’ of the knowledge, I will call upon each of our internal, compassionate witnesses. We can all access this with guidance + practice.

With that said, I will certainly be providing resources for further inquiry + exploration in the form of suggested reading, journal prompts, meditation focuses, + at-home rituals.

What are the core values of this container? 

ELEMENTAL RHYTHM (Interconnectedness)

We are human beings remembering our interdependence with nature, embracing the reality that my liberation is wrapped up in yours.

EMBODIMENT (Creativity)

We utilize our unique authentic expression to holistically (body/mind/soul) assist in achieving insights + movement towards change.

RITUAL (Spiritual Groundedness)

We center presence, playfulness, + protection to arrive into a psycho-social sacred space for the well-being of all of our relations.

Who is this for?

  • Therapists, Counselors, Coaches 

  • Space-Holders, Healers, Body-Workers, Somatic Practitioners

  • Dancers, Artists, Creatives, Highly-Sensitive Persons (HSPs)

  • Anyone who is interested in personal + collective growth + evolution

How does this work?

Through elemental-focused, ritualistic embodiment practices (explained below, click the word for more information), we will explore the Self within the container of community. My hope is that this experience will promote resilience, reverence, + reciprocity in all who participate.

Please note that although this group is intended to be therapeutic, it is not a replacement for clinical therapy or medical care. My scope of practice does range into the clinical realm; however, this group is within different ethical guidelines. I am holding this space with the intention of illumination + integration in honor of holistic health.

Practices

Authentic Movement, Breathwork, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Meditation, Resilience Toolkit, Sensuality, Yoga Nidra

Resilience

To increase energetic + emotional recovery from hardships, setbacks, challenges in personal + relational fields. To promote generative, vibrational shifts toward well-being. To cultivate present moment consciousness.

Reverence

To invite a felt sense of belonging to oneself first, above all. To ignite a sense of curiosity in relation to parts of psyche that are stored in the body. To experience a sacred respect for the cycles of life.

Reciprocity

To invoke a right relationship with nature (innate + environmental). To experience a felt sense of “Ayni” ~ a Quechua word for the principle of receptivity + gratitude, marked by a lifestyle of giving back in an inhale-exhale type relationship with the natural world. To create a more just + interconnected world.
