SUMMARY:FREE Information Session - The Body Holds, The Body Heals: restoring balance, releasing stress, creating calming practices
CATEGORIES:event
DESCRIPTION:FREE Information Session - The Body Holds, The Body Heals: restoring balance, releasing stress, creating calming practices Are you going through your day feeling overly sensitive, too reactive, or easily triggered? Or do you feel numb most days, simply going through the motions? By the time we are adults, most of us are walking warriors, holding stress and trauma in our bodies as we’ve had to survive and simply soldier on. In the short run, our bodies may be able to do this, holding it together to get through. However, over time, we cannot keep up this pace. Our bodies become overwhelmed as they hold our stressed experiences. They develop pain, fatigue, injury, or disease, as they can no longer repress all they have held over time. If you are curious about somatic (body-focused) practices and rituals, and want to learn a little more, please join certified Somatic Experience Practitioner, Emily Kearns, for a FREE Information Session on Zoom. Emily will share a little about how the body holds and the power of the body to be a healing resource, as well as what you can expect in her upcoming mini-retreats at the Well. You will also have an opportunity to ask questions. There is no obligation to attend a retreat if you attend the Information Session. Give your body the gift of this half-hour to listen and learn, and let your Curiosity be your Guide! The Information Session is free and will be recorded. Please register so that we can send you the Zoom link. If you are unable to attend the information session, we will be happy to send you the recording. DATE: Thursday, February 27, 2025 TIME: 7:00 - 7:30 PM COST: FREE LOCATION: ZOOM IMPORTANT: You will receive an email from programming@wellforthejourney.org at least 24 hours in advance of the start of your program.

FACILITATOR: Emily Kearns FACILITATOR BIO: Emily Kearns is a Somatic Experience Practitioner (SEP) and Reiki Master, working with individuals to help identify and reduce stress and trauma - anything that overwhelms - held in the body. Her caregiving experience with her parents, who lived with dementia, sensitized her to how the body holds and also, how the body heals. Her Reiki volunteer work in Boston’s Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital’s Integrative Medicine Program, further awakened her to the power of the body to be a healing, integrating resource. Emily earned her doctorate in sociology, focusing her study and teaching on the body, dance, and ritual. She is also an installation artist creating two events: Dementia’s Way; and The Sacred Heart of Culture. She is founder of Revive and Thrive, supporting caregivers/care partners as they experience loss, grief, joy, and cultivate presence.
