The Seasonal Portals

EMBODIED ATTUNEMENT & RESONANCE -

IN-PERSON

A series of thoughtfully curated in-person ateliers marking the seasonal turning points in the year, bringing us into resonance with the cycles of light and twilight, emergence and dissolution, earth and cosmos.

For over a decade, I have looked to these seasonal portals for inspiration and revelation. They serve not only as markers that set the rhythm of our collective journey through time and seasonality but also as metaphors for the transitions and thresholds we cross in our individual lives.

Embodying these seasonal portals allows us to align and harmonize with the inevitable passages of life. These sacred thresholds lay the foundation for our growth and inner transformation, guiding us towards greater maturity, empathy, and presence, if we allow ourselves to be touched and shaped from within.

These sessions are for all practitioners who wish to deepen their embodied wisdom and expand their capacity to embrace and absorb everything life has to offer in terms of opportunities for growth and transformation.

Each atelier begins with grounding attunement, setting the tone with thematic transmissions. This leads into an extended soma yoga practice, characterized by fluid, harmonious movements and an elegant continuity of postures, breath, and awareness. We seamlessly transition into deep rest, accompanied by the soothing vibrations of alchemy crystal bowls, allowing for full absorption of the practice's benefits. The journey concludes with a warm herbal infusion, crafted to warm the heart and revitalize the spirit, offering a serene space for reflection and connection.

  • "Each time, I am captivated by the way Alexandra's guidance elegantly harmonizes my energies, culminating in a profound sense of plenitude by the end of the practice. It's like a serene realignment of my place in the universe, nurturing an awareness of every element of life—stars, plants, minerals, water and fire, earth and air, both visible and invisible beings. I find myself standing poised, feet rooted to the earth and head nestled among the stars, in a state of communion with all that surrounds me. The essence of this experience defies simple description; it must be lived and one must attune to the subtle resonances of this yoga, which embodies both elegance and rigorous presence."

EMBODYING THE SACRED THRESHOLDS - ONLINE

A series of elegantly designed online ateliers designed to honor the sacred transitions of the year, bringing us into resonance with the cycles of light and twilight, emergence and dissolution, earth and cosmos.

For over a decade, I have turned to these seasonal portals for inspiration and revelation. They serve as markers that set the rhythm of our collective journey through time and seasonality, and as metaphors for the sacred thresholds we traverse in our individual lives.

Embodying these seasonal portals allows us to recognize, embrace, and honor the profound passages of life. These sacred thresholds lay the foundations for our inner transformation and growth, guiding us towards greater maturity, empathy, and presence, if we allow ourselves to be touched and sculpted from within.

These sessions are aimed at experienced practitioners who wish to deepen their embodied wisdom and expand their capacity to embrace and absorb the fullness of life's opportunities for growth and transformation. Together, we can become vanguards of embodied change, infusing depth, empathy, and care into our lives and communities.

Each atelier begins with grounding attunement, accompanied by thematic transmissions to set the tone. The journey continues through a guided sequence of somatic practices and free movement, flowing gracefully into periods of deep rest and absorption, allowing the transmissions to integrate fully. We conclude with time for journaling and sharing, providing a serene space for reflection and connection.

  • "Having now sat with Alexandra in various iterations of studentship and co-facilitation, my impulse is often to look up to her as I am deeply touched and altered, over and over again, by her multidimensional offerings, artistry, and enduring willingness to be in and of this Earth in integrity and love. And yet she has an ability to dissolve any hierarchy so that we may all meet in the essential space of loving-presence and our shared humanity, where co-creation and reciprocity can flourish. Since meeting Alexandra I muse more, I marvel more, and with ineffable gratitude, I know what it is to feel seen and safe enough to soften into the sacred mystery of it all."

Embodiment Labs

AN UNFURLING OF SOMATIC EXPLORATION - ONLINE

An Embodiment Lab is an artfully crafted movement exploration, often beginning with a specific portal of the body—such as the skin, heart, or bones. This initial focus serves as an entry point into the immersive landscape of your body-mind, becoming a precious guide for a unique and emergent experience.

You will be accompanied with attentive and fine guidance, allowing for your unique somatic exploration. A progressive and careful layering of elements provides a spacious yet structuring framework, enabling you to fully immerse yourself in your corporeal and sensory journey. We will conclude with deep rest to assimilate and integrate the discoveries and experience, as well as opportunities for writing and sharing.

These labs are for you if you wish to deepen your relationship with Soma in a creative and experiential way. They cultivate awareness and sensitivity while fostering autonomy and inner freedom. Open to all levels, they offer a deep yet accessible dive into the realm of Soma, making them the perfect opportunity to develop and enrich your relationship to somatic practices in an inspiring and exploratory manner.

These practices open the door to a state beyond logical understanding, nourishing embodied intelligence through direct experience. They invite you to explore your deep nature, using an ineffable language that allows for reconnection and rearticulation in a continuous process of discovery and reattunement. This evolution cultivates wonder and appreciation, revealing wisdom, intuition, and insight within.

The beauty of these collective labs lies in the support they provide for each person’s journey within a shared field of attentiveness and receptivity. This innovative approach encourages free exploration and nurtures a natural process of embodied curiosity. As the collective field broadens and deepens, it creates a fertile terrain for discovery, offering a transformative and enriching experience for all participants.

Dates for 2025 coming soon!

  • "Alexandra guides with such tenderness and care, everything that happens feels deeply rooted, supported, nourished - leaving you safe to go deeper. This with with a heart-led tenacity, a devotional commitment - to the practices, to the relationships within a body and between bodies, to and between Self - that makes it possible to trust in the unknown that is unfolding.
