House of the Dreaming Body
A studio for bodywork, ritual arts, and the art of living a more creative, slower life.
Bodywork, soundbaths, and gatherings for slowing down and coming home to yourself.
Rituals, meditations, and body-led practices for mindful, seasonal living.
Notes on slow living, inner worlds, and the everyday rituals that make a life.
This is a space for dreaming, for romanticizing the everyday,
for tending to your body as an altar.

Somatic Daydreaming: Sowing the Seeds January TBD, at Little Green Art Studio in Frogtown
A Guided Soundbath and Creative Ritual for the Winter
In the stillness of winter, we dream the first seeds of what will one day bloom. This evening invites you to rest, listen, and let your imagination move through the body, following sensation and image into the subtle places where inspiration begins.
Through guided somatic daydreaming and sound, we soften the edges of thought and open space for new life to take root. The gathering closes with a creative ritual: collaging onto pocket triptychs, small altar-like pieces to keep near your bedside or workspace. These altars a reminder of what’s quietly forming beneath the surface as we move toward spring.

On Dreaming, Becoming,
and Beginning…
Stepping across the threshold from imagination into embodiment, and trusting the body to lead the way.

Featured Ritual:
A Small Practice for Entering the
Winter Threshold
Winter asks the body to retreat inward..
To gather what is precious, conserve what is needed, and move toward the warmth at the center of ourselves. We are not separate from the season. We slow with it, soften with it, and deepen with it.
This ritual invites that deepening…
And if you’d like to feel the season more deeply… here are a few notes for this time of year. For the ones feeling winter’s atmosphere settle in, wanting to understand its energetics, and how to care for themselves through it with a little more mindfulness and ease.
