Free Queer Somatix

Free Queer Somatix is a semi-regular free resource for the LGBTQIA2+ Community offering practices for discharging stress and building emotional, physical, and spiritual resource and resilience followed by brief community reflections.

Practices vary and include intuitive and guided movement, visualizations, gentle parts work, noise making, ritual and writing.

Facilitation is always trauma informed however, these spaces will not be containers for trauma holding. 

Next Session: March 26th, 2025 @ 4 pm pst / 7 pm est | One Hour on Zoom

We meet over zoom which makes this comfortable, accessible and convenient no matter where you are. You will receive the zoom link 72 hours before the session and a reminder on March 26th.

This space is for you if:

+You identify as queer.
+You are new to somatics and want to build a practice.

+You already have a somatic practice and enjoy facilitated practice time.

+You feel the nourishing impact of group spaces.

+Group spaces are edgy for you and you’d like to explore your edge.

+You like to try new things with new people.

“I am so grateful for this space to connect with my body in such a supported way, and in queer community, especially after a very intense time of transition and chaos. I really liked that the various elements were introduced and then we had a chance to weave them in our own more free-flowing way. I felt a lot more connected to my self, my joy, my ease after the workshop.”

-Or Har-Gil

“Scarlet is an excellent practitioner, an epic facilitator, and a deep listener who always helps me laugh in the darkest moments. I have worked with her in both 1-1 coaching and groups, and I HIGHLY recommend both. She is a true revolutionary who cares deeply and walks the practice of what she teaches. Our work together has expanded my sense of self, and deepened my ability to ground and create internal safety even amidst a wildly uncertain world.

– Hannah Husband

COMMUNITY GUIDELINES

I will act as a safe community member by:

  • I will hold anything shared in the group as 100% confidential (Do not share the identities, stories or experiences of other people that you see at Free Queer Somatix.)

  • I will keep the focus on myself and my own practice.

  • I will hold the other participants with the best positive regard. 

  • I will be as compassionate as possible with myself and others.

  • If something in the community practice happens that makes me feel unsafe or has a negative impact on me I will reach out to Scarlet immediately.

  • I understand that this is an anti-oppressive space with a zero tolerance policy for acts or speech of supremacy and prejudice.

  • If I am late, I will jump in where I can. Scarlet will catch me up when she can.

  • I will attend sessions from a physical space that feels private and conducive somatic practice; If I can’t do this I will keep my video off.

  • I understand that having my camera on is not necessary, but that it can add a great deal of depth to the session.

  • Because this space is for resilience building and not emotional processing:

    • I will not push myself beyond my safe edge. If something feels emotionally challenging I will dial the practice back, ask for a modification or take a break.

    • I will keep my reflections focused on the practice and its impact on my current embodied experience. I will not share personal histories or details from my past. If context feels necessary to your share keep it brief and general. Example of appropriate reflection: “I am currently struggling in my romantic relationship and I could feel some of my resentment that was stuck in my chest shift and dissolve during that practice. The shaking and jumping specifically was really helpful.” Example of reflection not appropriate for this space: “Recently my partner cheated on me and I moved out of my home and I’ve been in a major depression because this has triggered by abandonment issues from my mother cheating on my father and leaving when I was a kid. I could feel this practice free up some of that heaviness…”

  • I acknowledge that if I am not able to meet any of the group agreements Scarlet can remove me from the space at any time.

  • I understand that I will receive the zoom link 72 hours before the session and a reminder on March 26th.
