Somatic Portal Class 1: Expressive Arts Flow

~ In this container you will experience and learn a process to deepen your connection to yourself, body, and share tools to help you express yourself more creatively and authentically.  You will experience how to do somatic drawings, writings/dialogue and movement/dance. 

Somatic Portal 2: Needs, Desires, Boundaries

~ We will explore embodiment practices and prompts to increase your awareness and ability to listen to and discern your needs, desires and boundaries. Exploring our inner world of sensations of pleasure and pain and everything in between help us access important information and wisdom that we so often miss in our everyday busy lives and trying to survive Capitalism. 

Somatic Portal 3: Healing Ancestral and Elemental Spirit Connection

~ In this last session, we will focus on how to create containers to reclaim and remember the healing gifts of ancestral practices. We will explore connecting to the gifts and nourishment of Mother Earth and the Lands that our bloodlines come from; we will explore ways of how to heal and repair those relationships and connections.  We will do this through movement, creative forming, somatic awareness and creating rituals of reconnection.

Notes on accessibility: This will be held in a space that is up a flight of stairs, unfortunately there is no elevator in the building. For the next series I will either be doing it virtually or in a different space that is accessible to folks who cannot access this space,

Please let me know if you are interested in this series but would not be able to participate because of the stairs.  

For our time together, I require that you wear masks: it is important that we keep, keeping each other safe and this makes it more accessible to people who are immune-comprised. 

To learn more about me (the facilitator): you can go to or can see the practitioners page on the Spaces website as well or explore this website more!

My name is Ollie Martin and I’m a somatic movement therapist and also much more :) My passion is to create spaces for people to heal and grow and get the connection you need <3
