SUMMARY:Intro to Hanna Somatic Movement| 6-Week Course with Jess Osborne
DESCRIPTION:Intro to Hanna Somatic Movement\nFacilitator: Jess Osborne\nWednesday 8pm-9pm | February 4th to March 11th\n  \nFeeling chronically stressed\, tense\, or ‘stuck’? Somatic Movement centred in the polyvagal theory is a way to find a profound ease in movement to overcome chronically held tension patterns by engaging in a series of slow controlled movements. \nYou’ll be guided by Jess using specific exercises focused on internal sensation\, designed to release unconsciously held muscle contractions often linked to stress and sensory motor amnesia (where the brain forgets how to relax muscles). \nThis group session utilises Hanna Somatic Movement as a gentle yet powerful way to help reset your nervous system. By re-establishing clear communication between your brain and body\, this practice helps soothe the nervous system\, dissolve habitual tension patterns\, and restore a natural state of ease\, calm\, and greater body awareness. \n___________________________________ \nReturn to Rest\nEach week will focus on various exercises based on Thomas Hanna’s work and influenced by Bartenieff Fundamentals “Basic 6”. This will work to connect your body-mind awareness in a holistic process of moving away from trauma reflex and into recovery or ventral vagal states. \n  \nWeek One: \nHorizontal Plane Exercises – talks to the notion of the body communicating in the internal and external environment. Task centred and problem solving planes – the question governing this plane of movement is ‘What does the situation require? \nWeek Two:  \nThe Vertical Plane Exercises – is the axis of our being in the world\, our relationship with gravity\, and the embodiment of our personal history and potential. It’s the dimension of standing tall\, sinking down\, reaching up\, and grounding ourselves. \nWeek Three: \nDiaphragm & Brainstem Exercises – the diaphragm emerges as the somatic embodiment of life’s essential rhythm. It’s where Hanna’s quest for freedom from the neuromuscular reflexes of fear and stress meets Bartenieff’s principle of integrated support and motor connectivity. \nWeek Four: \nThe Saggital Plane Exercises – this fundamental connection along the sagittal axis is crucial for our sense of grounding and our ability to move with intention. It embodies the arc of experience\, through conscious awareness and gentle pandiculation. That intelligent\, full-bodied yawn of the muscles that speaks to the dimension of re-learning how to move freely. \nWeek Five: \nAutonomous Nervous System – drawing from previous weeks knowledge we now begin to listen closer to body’s non-verbal language through interoceptive senses\, coming into a cellular level body awareness. \nWeek Six: \nRecognising our ventral vagal state\, we open our experience proprioceptively to discover safety through connection to other. Building awareness of state shifting through our ancient brain. \n___________________________________ \nRecognising the subtle inner shape changes\, slowly building muscles strength\, resilience and the innate sense of your body’s neurological patterning. \nUsing the portal of breath\, expanding out through the core\, we return to ease and flow. \nInvestment:\n$210 – General\n$180 – Concession & Members \nBOOK NOW\n___________________________________ \nYour Facilitator:\nJess Osborne \n \nJess Osborne (they/she) offers an integrative\, body-based approach to healing that supports emotional regulation\, embodied expression\, and a deepened sense of connection to self and others. With a professional background in Creative Arts practices dating back to 1986\, Jess has been offering adaptive bodywork sessions since 2019\, working primarily within the realms of mental health and neurodiversity. In 2024\, Jess began postgraduate studies in Somatic Dance Movement Therapy and is currently completing their clinical hours as a registered student member with the Dance Movement Therapy Association of Australasia (DTAA). Their evolving therapeutic approach draws from a rich tapestry of modalities including dance movement therapy (DMT)\, Hanna Somatics\, polyvagal theory\, adaptive bodywork\, bioenergetics\, art and sound therapy\, spiritual guidance\, and holistic health mentorship. Jess’s work is grounded in humanistic\, trauma-informed values\, honouring the wisdom of each individual’s body and story. As a genderfluid\, queer person and a long-time practitioner of polyamory and relationship anarchy\, Jess is passionate about creating spaces that are safe\, inclusive\, and affirming of all identities\, bodies\, and relationship structures. \n  \n________ \nCancellation & Refund Policy – Courses \nWe understand that plans can change.

SUMMARY:Qigong Workshop – Flow of the Five Elements with Joanna Nation
DESCRIPTION:Flow of the Five Elements with Joanna Nation\nSaturday 21st of March @ 4:00-5:30pm\n  \nIn this 90-minute journey we’ll flow through all Five Elements according to Traditional Chinese Medicine\, using gentle Qi Gong exercises to explore the energetic qualities of each element and associated organ/ emotion. \nFrom the clear releasing energy of Metal\, to the fluid resilience of Water\, the expansive growth of Wood\, the radiant warmth of Fire\, to the grounding strength of Earth. \nThe workshop concludes with a restorative guided relaxation to integrate the experience\, leaving you balanced\, centred and recharged. \n________ \nEach element carries distinct energetic qualities and is associated with specific organs\, emotions\, and patterns of movement.
