About this Event
Relationships are some of the most dysregulating experiences we can haveand also some of the most beautiful, heart-opening, and transformative. Love has a way of activating our deepest longings, our oldest patterns, and our most protective responses. And yet, within those moments of activation lives our greatest opportunity for growth, healing, and deeper love... starting within ourselves.
Safe to Soften is an immersive experience created for both couples and singles who want to feel more grounded, present, and connected—in their bodies and in their relationships. This is not about fixing yourself or your partner. It’s about creating safety in the nervous system so connection, intimacy, and understanding can emerge naturally.
No prior experience with somatics or nervous system work is needed. You’ll be gently guided throughout, with continual invitations to listen to your body, honor your boundaries, and participate only in ways that feel supportive for you.
Why This Experience Is Powerful for Couples and Singles
For couples, this experience offers a shared language for understanding one another’s nervous systems—how each person responds to stress, closeness, conflict, and intimacy. When partners learn how to regulate together, communication softens, emotional safety deepens, and intimacy becomes more accessible—not through effort, but through presence.
For singles, this work is equally powerful. Our relationship patterns don’t begin when we meet someone else—they live in the body long before. This experience supports deeper self-connection and self-love, while gently illuminating the roles we play in relationships, the patterns we repeat, and the ways we protect or abandon ourselves. Regulation becomes the foundation for choosing differently—and more consciously—moving forward.
Romantic relationships can be triggering because they matter. They are also where we experience the most fulfillment, depth, and love. When the nervous system feels safe, relationships—both with others and with yourself—can become a place of expansion rather than survival.
What This Experience Is
This event begins with a 90-minute guided somatic session focused on nervous system regulation for love, dating, and relationships. Through gentle, accessible practices, you’ll be supported in shifting out of stress and protection and into a more grounded, regulated state.
Following the session, guests are invited to continue the experience at the open house at Cocoon 30A, where you’ll have time to explore the co-working space and wellness amenities, connect with others, and experience the environment at your own pace.
