Awakening | Somatic Awareness Edition
Expanding Pleasure Through Sensory Awakening
Marie Zak & Sarah McGlynn

Pleasure is a profound, healing experience that is available to us at any moment, yet it is often overlooked or suppressed in modern culture. This is a transformative workshop that invites you to reconnect with the innate pleasure that resides in your body. By weaving together the ancient wisdom of herbal medicine, the resonance of sound therapy, and the power of the five senses, you will learn to orient toward and fully experience the sensations of joy, pleasure, and aliveness in your body.

In this class, you will:

● Explore the role of herbs in enhancing sensory experience and fostering a deeper connection to your body’s pleasure. Learn how specific plants can support your nervous system to be more receptive to pleasure.

● Engage with sound therapy to balance your energy, using sound as a tool to deepen sensory awareness and attune your body to pleasure.

● Cultivate a deeper connection to the five senses through intentional practices that invite you to fully experience touch, taste, smell, sight, and sound as gateways to embodied joy.

● Learn simple and accessible practices to incorporate into your daily life, helping you stay attuned to the pleasure available to you in each moment. Whether you're seeking to awaken a more playful and joyful relationship with your body or simply desire
more sensory richness in your life, this class will provide you with practical tools to enhance your pleasure and overall well-being.

By the end of the class, you'll have a toolkit of herbs and sensory exercises that you can use to nourish your body and mind, allowing pleasure to be your natural state of being.

In this empowering workshop, you will discover new ways to connect with your body and mind, gaining autonomy in your healing journey. Elevate your somatic exploration and embrace a life of presence and vitality.

In this class, you will:

  • Immerse in sound designed to engage your parasympathetic nervous system and deepen your somatic awareness

  • Participate in specific meditations that will help you internalize the techniques and deepen your personal exploration

  • Cultivate greater personal autonomy in practicing stress-reduction techniques that you can execute at home

  • Learn and practice techniques that support your body in releasing stored stress allowing you to be fully present and thrive
