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?
‘Somatic’ comes from the root word soma, which means of the body.
‘Sangha’ is a sanskrit word that means to bring together/community
At Somatic Arts Academy we believe a Somatic Sangha fosters an environment for individuals who are inspired by and dedicated to embracing the full landscape of humanity -- joy, laughter, connection, friendship, as well as the more challenging aspects of our human experience.
We know that the word 'somatic' has become a buzzword and is everywhere these days. Have you been curious at all about what it means and why it is becoming so popular? If you are interested in living a more body-based life and meeting a like-hearted community, our Somatic Sangha is for you! This virtual subscription platform is both for individuals hoping to integrate the interplay of their humanity and spirituality into their everyday lives, as well as somatic practitioners looking to advance their facilitation skills and grow their businesses.
The reason we chose to make this offering a subscription is to foster a true community. We often hear that it is challenging after an immersive training — whether in Yoga or Somatic Arts — to emerge back into the “real world”. We believe this is one way for all of us to feel more integrated and supported in the pursuit and dream of a more connected, authentic, and embodied 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!”

Sadhana
Receive monthly spiritual practices straight to your inbox that are designed to support you in incorporating daily practices and rituals to deepen your connection to self and spirit.
A sadhana is a devotional practice that is done as a routine every day to help invoke personal transformation, ignite self-realization, and enrich inner peace.
Our monthly sadhana is designed to support deep healing, grounding, and connection to your authentic self. Through movement, meditation, guided introspection, and unique rituals we will explore the profound connection between the body, mind and spirit, allowing you to release blockages, nurture your nervous system, and cultivate inner peace.
Whether you are seeking emotional release, spiritual growth, or simply a monthly reset, this sadhana offers a pathway to profound transformation. Step into a sacred container where your body, mind, and spirit unite in harmony.
