Bodyscapes is a book to be experienced as much as read. The Reading Circle provides a monthly rhythm and a small community in which to do exactly that.

Once a month, we meet online to explore one chapter at a time, moving through the book from Boundary to Weave. Each session is part guided practice, part reflection, and part conversation, so that a chapter becomes more than the sum of the content you’ve read and more a collection of felt experiences and personal reflections. I really recommend keeping a journal of some kind all the way through.

How it works

Each gathering is 90 minutes on Zoom and follows a simple rhythm:

• Arrive. A short grounding practice to settle in.

• Explore. A guided practice drawn from the month’s chapter.

• Reflect. Time to share what we noticed, in small groups or as a whole circle.

• Take it home. A prompt to explore until we meet again.

Between sessions, you’ll also have access to a private community space, where I will share additional resources on the theme for each month.

Who it’s for

The Circle is for you if:

• you’d like company, structure and some friendly accountability for working with the book

• you’re a yoga or somatic professional who wants to integrate content before sharing with others

• you’re simply curious about your body and want to get to know it better.

You don’t need any previous experience of somatic practice, yoga or anatomy.

What you’ll need

• A copy of Bodyscapes: Guided Somatic Explorations in Anatomy, Movement and Meaning which you can find at all online retailers and independent book shops. It’s available in paperback, e-book and audio formats

• A quiet space where you can move, sit and lie down.

• A notebook or device to hold your reflections and some drawing materials can be useful too: pencils, pastels, crayons etc.

Choose the level that fits for you at this time, no explanation needed. Community helps make this work sustainable for me. Concession and Access exist so the price is never the reason you or someone else misses out.

Community - £250 - when the price works for you
Concession - £150 - when funds are a little tight (limited spots)
Access - £50 - when it’s the difference between attending or not (limited spots)

• Please note for sustainability there are limited spaces offered a the Concession and Access levels.

• If paying in one go is a barrier, please get in touch.

FAQs

Can I pay for sessions separately? Or join part way through?
The circle is designed to move through the book together as a collective and for the group to cohere in a supportive way, so I am only taking registrations for the full course.

What if I miss a session?
Recordings are available for one month after the live date and you will receive a guide to help you catch up.
