Somatics is the practice of reconnecting with that knowing.In this experiential workshop, we’ll move beyond the buzzword and explore what it actually feels like to come home to your body. Through gentle guided practices, reflection, and community discussion, participants will learn how to notice sensations, emotions, and internal signals-the language of the body. Space will also be given to explore how disconnection from the body is shaped by culture, capitalism, and survival.Facilitator's Bio: Blessing Uchendu, MSW, LCSW (she/her) is a Nigerian-American healer, trauma therapist, and speaker with 17+ years of experience. She is the founder of Freshwater Counseling & Consulting, a NYC-based therapy and consulting practice centering the healing of BIPOC people through body-centered therapy and consulting.

Her philosophy is that healthy relationships are cultivated out of a healthy relationship with ourselves. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/d4158b30-e9a6-11f0-8044-391d3a4d551d-rimg-w531-h740-dc62615f-gmir.jpg - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/brooklyn/coming-home-to-the-body-an-intro-to-somatic-awareness/100001979497488274 - **Event Categories**: workshops - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes - Location: The Free Black Women's Library Reading Room - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Brooklyn - **state**: NY - **country**: United States - **location**: The Free Black Women's Library Reading Room - **lat**: 40.6901279 - **long**: -73.93967959999999 - **full address**: The Free Black Women's Library Reading Room, 226 Marcus Garvey Blvd, Brooklyn, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Coming Home to the Body: An Intro to Somatic Awareness - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/cc32a796eb84990ae20ef4050a84386a5bbc632b35297ff1cfe2b6f7d37881f4-rimg-w1200-h720-dcffffff-gmir.jpg?v=1769708762 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Coming Home to the Body: An Intro to Somatic Awareness being held? - **A:** Coming Home to the Body: An Intro to Somatic Awareness takes place on Sun, 25 Jan, 2026 at 03:00 pm to Sun, 25 Jan, 2026 at 04:30 pm at The Free Black Women's Library Reading Room, 226 Marcus Garvey Blvd, Brooklyn, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Coming Home to the Body: An Intro to Somatic Awareness? - **A:** Coming Home to the Body: An Intro to Somatic Awareness is organized by The Free Black Women's Library. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
