Upcoming Classes and Workshops
Whether you're unwinding in a somatic class that helps your body catch up with your mind, or settling into an hour of guided meditation, there's a place for you here. These classes both run in person but are also available live online, so wherever you are, you can join in.
COMING DECEMBER 12th TO THE VALPO CREATES CENTER:
The Art of Being with People:
The Art of Being with People:
A Somatic & Creative Respite
A Somatic & Creative Respite
As the year winds down, the hustle and expectations of the winter season can leave us feeling overstimulated, disconnected, and running on empty. The Art of Being with People is a two-hour workshop designed to offer a soft landing; a place to settle, move, create, and simply exist in community without the pressure to perform.
This isn't a traditional lecture or a rigid art class. It is an experiential journey where we use movement, somatic practices, and collective art-making to regulate our nervous systems and return to our bodies. Together, we will move through a dynamic flow of settling, gentle movement, and shared creative play. We will laugh, tell stories, and make collaborative poems and drawings that pass from hand to hand until they belong to everyone.
Why It Works: The Science of Connection
While the experience itself feels like play, curiosity, and embodiment, the framework is deeply rooted in neuroscience and emotional regulation. By combining somatic practices with community art-making, we gently guide the nervous system out of fight-or-flight and into a state of safe connection and calm. You will leave not only feeling deeply held, but with a lighter spirit and a renewed capacity to navigate the season.
Who Is This For?
Absolutely everyone, though those under 13 need a parent to attend with them.
No skills or experience required. Whether you haven't picked up a drawing tool since childhood or you practice somatics daily, you belong here.
Come alone or bring a friend. Our collective practices ensure that everyone is woven into the fabric of the room.
Come as you are. Leave lighter than you came.

Soma Space
The art of knowing yourself
Saturdays, 10:30–11:30am
In person in Valparaiso or live online
Soma means the body in its wholeness, and somatics is the practice of knowing yourself from the inside out. Most of what passes between body and mind travels from the body up, carrying signals we've been taught to override or ignore. Learning to listen to them again isn't just insight, it's safety: the more fluent you become in your own signals, the more choice you have to respond instead of react, to move through difficult conversations with more ease, and to build the kind of trust in yourself that makes change possible. Soma Space is a guided practice of movement, breath, sound, and stillness, built to help you build that fluency. The first rule is simple: listen to what your body needs. Physicality and rest find their own balance here, led start to finish, so you can simply follow along. Each class follows a theme, but the practice stays the same underneath. Come as you are, and come ready to move.

Guided is a weekly practice of meditation and visualization, a quiet space to arrive, breathe, and let go of what you've been carrying. Most of us spend our days managing, planning, anticipating, rarely still enough to notice what we actually feel underneath all of it. This hour asks for the opposite: close your eyes, and let someone else do the steering for a while. You don't have to think, plan, or hold anything together. Just listen, allow your body to settle, and let the hour do its work. Some weeks that looks like a journey somewhere far off and vivid. Other weeks it's simpler than that, just learning to notice a thought or a feeling as it passes, without needing to do anything about it. Either way, the practice is the same: show up, follow along, and give yourself permission to rest from the effort of holding it all together. You'll leave unwound, grounded, and a little more replenished than when you walked in.

What Participants Are Saying...
"Doing Soma with Annie is a joy. It is also deep connection work and she makes it safe and so positive. To be real for an hour in that space is like a month of regular therapy. I have gained some incredible insight in a very short period of time in this class and I look forward to more." -M.P.
“Annie led a magnificent somatic session! She supported self awareness and engagement of the group. The combination of being able to be aware of where we were personally while also balancing the group being able to lend support to each other allowed me to feel safe enough to be vulnerable. I loved the journal prompts she presented and being able to move my body in a way that served me in the moment, she provided the avenue for exploration and did a great job allowing us to find what feels good without restriction. The exformation exercise was my favorite because of how much I wanted to retreat but was giggling through it; she welcomed us to release the reigns in a comfortable safe way. She inspired me.” - D, Colorado
I just completed Annie's two hour Rooted workshop and as usual it was a WOW! I walked away understanding how I can better self-regulate, shift my energy, and she makes sure there's enjoyment, laughter, and opportunity to dig deep and learn more about myself. Did I mention she has great playlists? Going to one of Annie's classes or workshops is a gift that keeps on giving to yourself. - M, Indiana
