Embodied Connection

A 12-Week In-Person Training Ground in Heart-Centered Somatic Relating with Charna Cassell

This fall and winter, as the season shifts into letting go, slowing down and turning inward, choose connection over going it alone.

This is a 12-week in-person, closed group for people who want to shift how they relate to themselves and others through embodied and relational practices.

If you tend to shut down, overthink, disconnect, or repeat patterns, this group offers a structured space to practice new ways of being with others in real time.

The focus is on building capacity in the body and in relationships, so that connection to yourself and others feels safer, more authentic, and sustainable.

In this group, you will:

This is not conceptual or discussion-based work. It is experiential. Change happens through repetition, presence, and real interaction with others over time.

Every gathering includes somatic grounding practices, guided relational exercises, and group sharing. Each week, one participant will receive focused (verbal and physical) support through an experiential exercise from the other members.

This is a closed 12-week commitment designed to build consistency, trust, and relational capacity over time.

This group is for anyone who wants to change how they show up in relationships, not just understand their patterns intellectually.

If you are committed to honesty, growth, and learning new relational patterns through practice, you are welcome.
