There is a suggested donation of $15-50 if you'd like to support the time, energy, and expertise I am bringing to this program but there is no requirement to pay. You can name the amount that feels honoring of your financial capacity. You may send payment via Venmo or Paypal/Credit/Debit.
Drawing on somatics, yoga, mindfulness, dance, art, and community dialogue we’ll explore the following questions with curiosity and tenderness:
What does belonging (or nonbelonging) feel like in your body?
How available is your body to recieve care and support?
What happens when you stop forcing your body to change and start meeting it where it's at?
How can having a sense of inner belonging support your longings for connection and community?
How does knowing and honoring your body’s needs and desires shape your ability to be more present with others?
And more!

Meet Your Guide
Hi, I'm Raina (she/her)
I’m a somatic therapist and yoga teacher specializing in racial identity, trauma, relationships and belonging.
My ancestors found home on the lands we now call Cameroon, West Africa, Turkey, England, Ireland, Scotland, Greece, and Albania.
I’ve lived my entire life at the intersection of this and that.
So I understand firsthand what it’s like to struggle with belonging and feeling generally safe and at home in your body and relationships.
I’m thrilled to share with you a series of exercises that will help you experience belonging from the inside-out so you can cultivate the beloved community you’ve always dreamed of.
