A 6-session experiential circle for therapists working with the wisdom of the body.
In this supportive group, we’ll come together as somatic practitioners to share our clinical experiences, deepen our skills, and grow in community. Rooted in a spirit of curiosity and collaboration, this space is designed for those who integrate body-based approaches into their work, and are seeking nourishment, reflection, and connection.
Throughout our six-month journey together, we will interweave somatic, nature-aligned, and transpersonal frameworks to support deep, embodied exploration. Many of our clients come with a longing to feel part of a larger ecology of mutual support, yet often struggle to know how to connect with that desire. Together, we will engage in practices that nurture embodied wisdom and a felt sense of belonging within the greater web of life, honoring somatic inquiry as a living, emergent process—an ongoing journey of participation and discovery for both our clients and ourselves.
Each session will offer time to:
Explore embodied themes and processes together
Bring forward client cases or clinical questions
Receive thoughtful feedback and somatic reflections
Support each other’s growth in an open, engaged circle
This is not a training or a lecture series — it’s a space to practice being with, to listen deeply, and to let the wisdom of the body and the group unfold.
Whether you’re newer to somatic work or have years of experience, you’re welcome here!

“Vanya holds a calm, compassionate presence that invites people to feel seen, supported, and at ease. I loved being a part of the Grounding Grove consult group, I didn’t know I was coming for the sense of community and all the new skills I learned with Vanya! Thank you!”
