SOMATIC ARTS SANGHA
Where humanity and spirituality intertwine
JOIN OUR VIRTUAL COMMUNITY TO DISCUSS TRAUMA-INFORMED LIVING, PSYCHO-SPIRITUAL WELL-BEING, AND WHAT IT MEANS TO ARTFULLY EXPERIENCE LIFE THROUGH YOUR UNIQUE EMBODIMENT
WHY JOIN OUR COMMUNITY?
Transformation happens in the body and with community.
‘Somatic’ comes from the root word soma, which means of the body.
‘Sangha’ is a sanskrit word that means to bring together/community.
Our Somatic Sangha is designed to help you live a more body-centered, spiritually grounded life while providing a platform to connect with like-hearted individuals who value depth, authenticity, and growth.
The Somatic Sangha is designed for everyone navigating the complexities of being human. This is for those longing to cultivate deep, meaningful relationships, feel grounded and connected in their bodies, and live in harmony with the natural cycles of life. Whether you’re seeking to integrate body-based wisdom into your daily routine, build lasting connections, or deepen your somatic practice, this space was created for you.
You’ll gain practical tools to integrate somatic awareness into your daily routines, enhance your relationships, and deepen your understanding of the interplay between humanity and spirituality. For practitioners, this is an opportunity to elevate your facilitation skills, expand your business, and stay rooted in ongoing support.
When you join the Somatic Sangha, you gain tools to:
- Cultivate a deeper connection with your body and intuition, allowing you to make more aligned decisions and live with greater purpose.
- Strengthen your relationships through increased self-awareness, emotional regulation, and authentic communication.
- Release patterns of stress and disconnection, replacing them with a sense of groundedness, confidence, and vitality.
- Integrate your humanity and spirituality, creating a sense of wholeness in your daily life.
For somatic practitioners, the Sangha is also a professional resource, offering opportunities to:
- Refine your facilitation skills with advanced somatic practices that enhance client outcomes and deepen your expertise.
- Access advanced somatic education to deepen your knowledge, enhance your facilitation skills, and create greater impact in your practice.
- Stay inspired and supported by a network of peers who share insights, challenges, and opportunities for collaboration.
Who is this for?
The Somatic Sangha is for anyone who desires:
- A more connected, embodied life where you feel fully alive, present, and authentic.
- A like-hearted community that inspires growth, reflection, and genuine support.
- Professional development if you’re a somatic practitioner, therapist, yoga teacher, coach, breathwork facilitator, or healer of any kind seeking to advance your craft and grow your impact.
- For those who are curious about the power of somatic work and how it can create lasting change
Whether you’re an individual seeking deeper embodiment or a somatic practitioner looking to refine your craft, the Somatic Sangha meets you where you are.
We intentionally designed this as a subscription platform to cultivate true, ongoing connection. After immersive trainings in Coaching, Breathwork, Yoga or Somatic Arts, many find it difficult to integrate their learning into the “real world.” Our sangha is here to bridge that gap, offering continual support and shared intention as we work toward a more connected, authentic, and embodied way of living. Together, we co-create the dream of a deeply human, deeply spiritual world.

Testimonials
"I have thoroughly enjoyed this Sangha. The depth of wisdom and experience is apparent. The material that Jeanine and Nichole teach is truly a paradigm shift and is taught from a place of integrity and hands on leadership. Both Nichole and Jeanine teach with passion, intelligence and humor. The information I received confirmed many things that I felt in my soul were true, but they expanded on it and gave it language so that I may share it with others. I highly recommend this training to anyone who wants to expand their knowledge of the somatic world and all that it holds. It’s an opportunity to learn more about yourself and the world around you. It’s truly a unique offering, and I am so grateful I found it.”
-Christa
“This Sangha is incredible. I have been most impressed with the comprehensive and practical approach to the work. We are given tools and guidelines to work with clients from trauma-informed lens, all while having the opportunity to look deeper within ourselves. I find myself applying these principles in all areas of my life. Highly recommend this membership!”
