Womyn Who Swamp: Somatic Release

In this womyn’s only event, I will create a safe and brave space for you to participate in a ritual around the expression of grief, rage, and sensuality.

The pain within you wants to be met with your full presence. Only then will it transform into power.

Your sensuality is YOURS alone. Let’s reclaim it.

Imagine the power of witnessing your body, without shaming it, judging it, or dismissing it. Yes, it IS possible.

We will practice a somatic exercise and ritual called Swamping from Mama Gena. This sacred and essential experience is a powerful disruption to the suppression, avoidance, and depression we are used to in our daily lives. These rituals and tools will support you in moving the energy that has been waiting for your attention.

Particularly if you have autoimmune diseases, you may want to try this exercise with our small group. There is a catharses that happens when we allow ourselves to express the energies within our bodies.

We aren’t alone. Come join other brave women who are done pretending they are “fine”.

Space is limited to 6 womyn. All equipment is provided. Stairs required.

With a background in meditation, psychoeducation, and emotional awareness, Mary-Carmen supports others in working with their inner critic, releasing internalized oppression, and cultivating authentic connection—in both body and community. Her workshops weave together contemplative traditions, science-backed techniques, and fierce tenderness to support those who feel disillusioned by capitalist, patriarchal, and colonized systems.
