Spring Somatic Workshop
Somatics is a body-based healing methodology to help us transform trauma and oppression through our bodies, helping to re-cultivate safety, dignity and connection. In this workshop you will explore somatic practices that relate to clinical social workers working various settings with individuals and groups. Together we will explore ways to cultivate a centered and powerful presence in service of your clients.
Because this is a body-based methodology, there are some activities that may involve making physical contact with one another. While I encourage your full participation, everyone has full choice and consent within this workshop and I will offer non-contact alternatives.

Presenter, Katelyn Song has trained with generative somatics and Strozzi institute for more than a decade. In her work as a somatic therapist, she frames institutional and structural oppression (including racism, sexism, homophobia, classism and ableism) as forms of trauma. Her practice acknowledges the deep historical impacts of colonization, slavery, and continued systemic inequity on brown and black bodies, as well as other marginalized communities. She graduated from the University of Washington MSW program in 2016. She identifies as a woman of color, a Korean transnational adoptee, a mama, and someone deeply committed to her own path of healing and learning.
