๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐: Somatic Magic (*SOMAGIC*) is a living practice of personal and collective liberation, weaving together imagination, embodiment, ceremony, rest, and nurturing touch.
๐๐ก๐๐ญ ๐๐จ๐๐ฌ ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ฌ "๐๐๐ญ๐๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ณ๐"? By gathering in consensual and resourced presence, we actively interrupt the systems of separation that colonizing forces rely on. Together, we will create a soft, snuggly freedom zoneโa living experiment in how humans can belong, co-regulate, and wield the power we have right now!

"This was profound...I felt calm and held, able to lean into the safe, platonic support offered by [..]. It was a healing experience and helped me re-orient back to feeling safer in society, and my healing journey." Oakland, 2026
"Thank you for creating this amazing space! I was pleasantly surprised at the connection exercises & how they bonded us all so deeply. I would describe this to a friend as an amazing experience of fun, games, and connection to root myself more deeply within, as well as connect with like minded humans. Oakland, 2025
"[Troi] You have such magic in facilitating incredibly held transition states." Oakland, 2026

"...The opportunity to experience gentle and healing touch from people I did not know beforehand was both terribly intimidating but also quite interesting... [Troi] made it a comfortable, safe space where my anxieties were immediately put at ease, and provided a wonderful consent-aware framework in which we could all flourish. Thank you again! -David, Portland, 2025
"I was struck by how accessible it was regardless of someoneโs experience with this kind of work. I was expecting to be a lot more intimidated than I was. Felt like it was hard to do it wrong here, like there was an unconditional validation that I was enough...my experience was okay, that I was always doing it right. I found it useful to hear [Troi] speak about touch as a fundamental need and to consider touch accessibility/universality. Thank you for what you do!" -Anon, Portland, 2025
"I highly recommend this event...There were great transition exercises to ease people into feeling more connected with themselves, with individuals, and with the group. I especially appreciated that it expanded beyond touch to see and connect to each other as whole persons. Itโs a personal growth kind of space and I look forward to the next time it comes around." -Diana, Portland, 2025
