Integration Groups
Dedicated spaces for embodied metabolization, reflection, and meaning-making. (Re)connect to your self-trust, inner spaciousness, and wholeness.
Why Integration, Now?
We live in a culture that moves faster than our nervous systems do. Digitally mediated, many of our experiences outstretch our capacity to metabolize them. We may have insight after insight, or work to navigate one change after another in our life, and yet find ourselves feeling fragmented, fatigued, or internally incoherent.
We may pursue various means to optimize, transform, or transcend our experiences... and while some of these may be worthwhile, we also need time to integrate them.
Integration is the organic process by which lived experience becomes usable wisdom.
Two hallmarks of integration are that our body, emotions, and mind are in less conflict, and we can feel significant changes take root not only in our minds but in our bodies and hearts.
In a culture that is oriented toward outcomes and drama, prioritizing integration is a radical act.
When we make time for integration, we...
- De-center performance
- Honor the intelligence of the body as well as the mind
- Invite things to unfold in time
- Return authority to our lived experience, rather than outside frameworks
The Elements of an Integration Group
Each Integration Group is a standalone 90-120 minute gathering designed to support embodied metabolization, reflection, and meaning-making.
A Short Thematic Reading
Inspirational rather than instructional, these help orient our reflection and inquiry.
Gentle Somatic Contemplations
Drawn from NeuroAffective Touch®, these guided, trauma-aware practices illuminate the relationship between our mind states, emotions, and body, supporting reconnection rather than intense catharsis or enforced regulation.
Writing and/or Art-Making Prompt
Thoughtful and open-ended prompts with time to respond privately through words, sketches, or movement, allowing for connections to happen organically.
Shared Inquiry and Reflection
Sharing is held intentionally as an opportunity for deep listening, resonance, and meaning-making, not advice or "fixing".
A Brief Closing Reading
Each circle closes with a second, brief reading to invite continued integration in the days to come.
Who Integration Groups Are For
These groups may be a good fit if you...
- Have already done personal, therapeutic, spiritual, or creative work and feel there is something still needing to be integrated
- Sense that insight has outpaced embodiment (or feel "top-heavy" energetically)
- Want a facilitated group space that honors your autonomy, pace, and lived wisdom
- Are interested in reflective writing and deepening into somatic awareness
- Want to prioritize depth, nuance, and process over speed
These groups are not a good fit if you...
- Are seeking crisis support, diagnosis, or a therapy group
- Want advice, explicit coaching, or problem-solving support
- Prefer highly directive or prescriptive practices
- Are looking for rapid transformation or a "peak experience"
Integration groups assume you already have capacity within you. Rather than try to rescue or fix, they offer a relational, reflective space for people already engaged in inner work.
Upcoming Groups
Digesting 2025
Belly and enteric systemSaturday, February 71:00 pm–3:00 pm Central Time
This group centers the belly as a locus of embodiment and personal power. Together we'll explore how this area can help us metabolize experience, and what it feels like to allow for this digestion. We will focus on letting the past year be digested without extracting learnings prematurely, honoring our gut instincts.
Breath and No-Breath
Breath and self-directed touchSunday, March 12:00 pm–4:00 pm Central Time
This group explores the breath as a way to tend to our awareness, nurturing our capacity to be present with all that is here - movement and stillness, effort and ease. Opening our field in this way strengthens our capacity to witness without interference and supports nervous system settling and tolerance for ambiguity.
Holding the Center
MidlineSunday, March 82:00 pm–4:00 pm Central Time
This group supports grounding and internal coherence in anticipation of the rising energies of spring. Through exploring different functions of our midline, we connect to the felt sense of our individual agency, uprightness, and boundary integrity.
