Each session is stand alone and will be a different group of people. We will have special guest facilitators at some gatherings, which will also be updated here as soon as they are confirmed. Guests and topics are subject to change. At various gatherings, we will be weaving embodiment into HR, strategic planning, raising kids, and other topics. You can bring your life/dreams/challenges/questions to whatever immersive you attend and/or future drop-in sessions. Sign up/learn more about dates here.

This is offered at a flat rate of $390 per person and nobody will be turned away. This includes the full-day gathering plus 3 months of access to a weekly virtual drop-in somatic group.  Additional contributions will support the subsidy fund for others to participate at a lower rate.

If this cost is inaccessible, please email hello@sarahrimmel.com to apply for a discounted ticket and/or explore trade/barter options. Here’s my statement on financial accessibility and a sample letter to submit to your team.

The event is non-refundable. If something comes up for you, please let us know 4 days before the event. You are welcome to apply the costs to another service (this year) and/or give your ticket to a colleague/friend. In the case we need to cancel a date, we will get in touch with you with options to change to another date and/or receive a refund.

While there are no guarantees, you can anticipate:

Building somatic awareness skills (centering, titrating, attuning, pausing, reorienting, savoring) to navigate internal and external pressures 

Cultivating embodied leadership and trust to support your boundaries and needs  

Sustaining yourself through self, relational and community care

This is for people longing for connected, reliable, and healing-centered ways of being in community. This is for change-makers, organizers, founders, philanthropists, caregivers, and leaders exhausted by systems that continue to wear people down despite deep care and effort. This is for people seeking ways to strategize, organize, and collaborate across movements, industries, and sectors. This is for you. I hope you will join us.

Somatics is a methodology and change theory by which you can embody transformation individually and collectively (Generative Somatics).  Many of us are working within structures and systems that can contribute to burnout, disconnection, and inequity despite the very best intentions of our leaders, selves, and colleagues. We have inherited mindsets, beliefs, systems and team cultures that may not align with what we know to be possible. Much of organizational change work, HR work, strategic planning, and conflict navigation has traditionally emphasized intellectual and compartmentalized approaches. At these gatherings, we invite a broader approach by weaving embodiment into the internal and external challenges you face and the ways you engage at work and at home. 

No preparation needed other than curiosity. We do ask that you bring a journal, a sweater or layers to stay cozy, and any particular special food and/or snacks you may need. 

We’ll have GF and gluten-based snacks, sandwiches, tea, and coffee available. You are welcome to bring anything to support your own dietary needs and preferences. We have a refrigerator, microwave, mugs, and tea kettle.

This is not therapy (nor is this team or group coaching). This space is not designed for people or teams currently experiencing active conflict, crisis intervention needs, or HR-related tensions. Those contexts require additional onboarding and support. This is a space to learn new skills and practice them. Please reach out if you have any questions.
