Embodied Imagination: Build the career & life you want through PLAY!

As a little kid, daydreaming was your superpower. 🔮

Talking to the moon, the trees and the squirrels in your backyard, always getting dressed up & playing pretend both by yourself & with friends. 💃🏻

And somehow... becoming an adult meant all of that disappeared.

You started trying to be different and "better" by changing your habits via habit trackers, project planning every little last thing, productivity hacking... and now, not only does life feel flat, all those strategies aren't working anymore to get where you want to go.

... which sucks because, you've got important shit to do! You're here to always be at your growth edge, squeezing every last drop out of life. Opening the coffee shop, starting the coaching biz, making the art, leading the internal change at your corporate job... the whisper that you're meant to do something big just won't quit.

Your medicine?

Returning home to your superpowers: Playing through breath, movement, voice, character play, dance. In short? EMBODIED IMAGINATION.

In this immersive workshop Embodied Imagination, you'll be introduced to & practice the exact body, imagination & play-based tools to help you stop stop engaging in unhelpful patterns of:

✨ numbing and avoiding your emotions

✨ saying yes when you mean no

✨ staying stuck in anxiety & rumination

... and instead, moving energy through your body, learning how your embodied intuition feels, and discovering new solutions to your problems in playful, edgy & adventurous ways.

No more looping on the same puzzle over and over with incremental progress rife with struggle & effort.

YES to surprising & delightful new answers to your next career move, the next step in building your business, changing the dynamics in your relationships, and more. 🔥

JOIN US to open a whole new, magical & wildly free chapter of your career, relationships & life purpose!

If you have a yoga mat or blankets you enjoy using, please feel free to bring them! Otherwise, there are mats & blankets available to use at Sakala.

Info: Experience somatic practices to help you get grounded in the space & with your peers. When doing body-oriented work, it's important to make sure you're paying attention to & responding to what your nervous system state, and allowing yourself an opportunity to orient to the shared space. This makes it easier to receive all the new insights & information you'll be experiencing next!

Info: We'll start off by identifying a problem you want to solve or a challenge you want insight on, that's been trapped in a pattern of stuckness for a long while despite your best logical reasoning efforts. Next, we'll use movement, sensations, sound & character play to discover the core unseen & unfelt emotions that are keeping you in this unwanted behavior loop. You'll learn how to release those emotions and give yourself exactly what you need in order to loosen the pattern.

Info: Restroom, snacks, stretches & reflection time.

Info: Now that your emotional & energetic body is clearer, it's easier for the TRUE YOU to shine forward and play with new ideas / options for how to solve your problem! In this section, we'll use the tools of embodied imagination to let who you are at your core reveal your right next step forward.

Info: Review all the new insights & tools that you learned, and develop an Embodied Imagining action plan so that you can keep using these tools in your career & self-discovery journey.
