Mapping the Belly: Self-Healing Through the Organs In this workshop, we’ll approach the belly as a living map of health, vitality, and inner knowing. Through guided self-massage, breathwork, and somatic ways of listening drawn from Chi Nei Tsang, we’ll gently attune to the soft tissue around the vital organs—liver, gallbladder, stomach, spleen, intestines, and more. Each organ carries physical, emotional, and energetic patterns that shape our overall well-being.

From the changing territory of hormones to the incredible changes in brain physiology to the shifts in our bodies and perceptions and realities, there is a very real and very misunderstood terrain that we, as mothers, enter into as we become pregnant and that exist regardless of whether our babies make it earthside or not. Motherhood is one of the most profound rites of passage and portals of transformation that exists, yet very few of us have the tools, community, or support to truly explore what this really means for each of us individually, and to be honored, within and without, for the new woman and archetypal reality...
