Yes, I Want This Free Somatic Guide01 The Experience
This is LISTEN — the pause before the pulse. Â
You’re brilliant at helping others move, heal, and thrive. But behind the scenes? It’s nonstop.
No time to breathe. No space to feel.
Led by Bettina-Kira Neumann, PT + Somatic Guide, this immersive workshop blends somatic movement, expressive arts, and nervous system science to meet real-life exhaustion with real tools.
No performance. No pressure.
Just a space to land, express, and return

02Â Does this sound familiar?
- You help others regulate but haven’t felt grounded in a while
-  You’ve tried yoga, retreats, breathwork—but something still feels stuck
- Â You teach embodiment but feel disconnected from your own body
-  You’re tired of coping—you want something deeper
- Â You cross off to-dos all day, but clarity never comes
🌀 You’re not burned out yet… but it’s creeping in.  Let’s catch it before it takes hold.
03 What You'll Experience
Studies show that blending movement and art supports long-term nervous system regulation (Halprin, 2003; van der Kolk, 2014). In this weekend, you’ll explore:
- Somatic movement to release tension + awaken awareness
- Expressive arts: drawing, writing, movement — culminating in a personal self-portrait that captures your body’s stories, strengths, and possibilities.
- Nervous system tools rooted in trauma-informed embodiment
Ritual, reflection, and integrative group process - Time to land, feel, and reorient to your body’s wisdom
🎨 No art or dance experience needed.
Just a body, a breath, and the willingness to show up.Â
If you’ve been waiting for a space like this — let’s connect and see if the Return to the Body workshop is the right fit for you.
