Soma Mundi
Cultural Healing in times of Crisis
Marin County, CA
Restoring the living dialogue between body and world, cultivating inward listening and outward offering, tending the place where the Earth speaks through us.
Welcome
Soma Mundi is born from the belief that the intelligence that turns a star into a galaxy, an earthquake into a mountain range, and an acorn into an oak tree, is the same intelligence that moves through the human body. Humans are not separate from this force, but instead an extension of it—the next evolutionary frontier. The human is the place in which the Earth awakens to herself, and right now, the human plays a vital role in shaping our planetary future.
In times of immense uncertainty, Soma Mundi rests on the conviction that wisdom and guidance is available—not outside of us, but through us—coursing through our flesh, waiting to be heard. At its heart, Soma Mundi is about learning how to listen through experiential practice, supported by psychological, ecological, and cosmological insight.
This work is about embodying—feeling—again, that we, as humans, belong to this Earth and to this cosmos. It is the acknowledgement that yes, life is beautiful and also terrifying, and by choosing to feel it all, we enter into the wild, roaring, dance of life. It is here, in the waltzing, swirling, spinning dance, that life unfolds us into greater dimensions of our being.
It is here that we come to know who we are and who the Earth desires us to be.
Soma Mundi is an evolving body of work that is currently available through various modalities, including classes, workshops, and group-work. To learn more, visit the Offerings page.

Soma Mundi Integrates
Practice
Consistent practice enables sustained growth and transformation. Insights are good. Practice is necessary.
Community
We were never meant to do this alone.
Soul
Soul is the intrapsychic descent into the underworld, where we discover who we are and what it is that we are meant to do. Both as individuals and as a species.
Somatic psychology
Somatic psychology relies on the wisdom of the body to reveal the organization of psyche. Through the body, the Earth psyche is reveals itself.
Worldview
Worldview is the soil from which our thoughts, beliefs, and actions grow. When our worldview insists on our interconnection, we can't help but care for the entire planet.

About Soma Mundi
If we surrendered
to earth’s intelligence
we could rise up rooted, like trees.
- Rainer Marie Rilke
Soma Mundi is rooted in the intention to listen, to attune, to be guided, and to offer ourselves back to the living world. It is entrenched in the understanding that humans are of this Earth—like cells in a greater body—and that the same intelligence that sustains and evolves this planet courses through our very own flesh. By creating containers to listen to this intelligence, we invite in a primordial wisdom that can accompany us as we navigate these uncertain, yet extraordinary times.
In the face of immense suffering and ecological collapse, the nervous system does what it needs to survive and endure. We learn to tune out the fear, the grief, the anger. We close and protect the heart. We numb and distract ourselves from a reality that, at times, can feel unbearable. But when we shut down these channels of sensing and feeling, we lose a deep intimacy with ourselves, each other, the earth, and the more-than-human world. The crises of modern day could be seen, in part, as a result of this loss of intimacy. Healing, growth, and maturation begin when we dare to feel again, to reopen the channels for Earth’s intelligence, and remember our innate interdependence with one another and our role within our planetary community.
Soma Mundi offers experimental practices and shared inquiries that weave together nervous system regulation, body-based mindfulness, and self-exploration in a present-centered and process-oriented approach. Influenced and informed by somatic therapy, depth psychology, ecopsychology, and systems thinking, this work is embedded in the belief that each person is a living channel for the voice of the Earth, and that by coming together in shared practice, we cultivate a space where collective wisdom and guidance can emerge.
Soma Mundi is a place for sensing, feeling, dreaming, growing and embodying, organized around our radical interdependence. Here, personal healing is collective healing, and to tend to the body is to tend to the world.
