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.
