Somatic Shmita Practice:
Presencing the Sacred Landscapes of Body, Soul, Soil & Purpose
A 3-Month Container
The earth cordially requests your presence this Shmita Year. To answer this call, each of us must actively challenge any notion that we are (1) separate from nature, (2) exiled from the body, or (3) cut-off from divine presence, while engaging with Somatic Presencing Practices, to reset, realign, and reimagine our relationship to the self, to the earth, and to belonging. In this 3 month journey, we open our senses and sensitivities to the world, to discover what is emerging through the soil of our lives.
We begin this journey in the quiet of winter, as the seeds of spring slowly prepare to crack open in the belly of the earth. For 12 weeks, we give ourselves to a practice of listening, tracking, and welcoming insights that spring up to the surface and are ready to be seen and integrated. Each week, we grow from the previous week’s practices and gather signs, stories, observations, from our personal experiences. Each month, we individually and collectively carve out time for a technology-free “Shmita Sauntering Retreat”- a space for unhurried walking on the sacred earth and connection time with soul, where we bring our questions, our curiosities, and our observing mind and heart to meet the mystery of the unfolding present.
12 weekly Shmita Somatic Presencing Sessions on Wednesday at 1:00pm EST
Weekly prompts for personal practice and writing
3 Shmita Saunters (1 / month)
Presencing Winter’s Messages: Week of February 2nd

Please do not rely on sessions to be recorded, even though they most likely will be. This is an ephemeral offering to support those who are hoping to answer the Earth’s invitation to more intimately connect during this Shmita Year. If you’re feeling the call to join, please make the space and commitment.
Registration closes January 15th. Don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions: miriam@miriamswellness.com

January 19 - April 6th
This Shmita year is begging us to tend to our body’s nervous system, and offer us a space for a Somatic Reset.
We need to carve out the time, space, and practice the tools to unwind from habits of holding our breath, perfectionism and clenching our gut.
We need time to practice and develop embodied postures of presence, patience, listening, curiosity, and courtship. We need this, not only for ourselves, but so that we can show up with more presence in our relationship with the earth, and with our family’s and community’s.
In this spacious learning environment, we’ll experience simple and powerful Somatic Shmita practices that will guide us to reset our nervous system and restore fluency in our capacity to listen, relate, and respond to the world with intelligence.
This learning environment will include a day-long Somatic Shmita Soul Quest experience (anywhere on the earth that you choose) where participants will carve out 2 full days- 1 day for observing nature and 1 day for integration. Participants will be supported to emerge from the cocoon of the Shmita Somatic Reset, with new practices to embody a fuller presence.

Soulmatic Guiding
SoulMatic Guiding is a powerful process of discovering the map purpose through the SoulMatic Map - the terrain of where the body and soul meet.
SoulMatic Guiding combines four primary modalities: Purpose Guiding™, Somatic Therapeutic practices, Spiritual Counseling, and Massage Therapy, to facilitate breakthroughs in self-discovery that support clients in accessing greater range of movement, freedom from adrenal anxiety, and a palpable and practical connection to soul’s intelligence.
Miriam is honored to offer this work to adults, elderly and adolescents, and offers this work as a contribution towards re-stitching a healthy intergenerational culture that raises healthy individuals to be guided by their soul’s mission in service to the human family.

Why Now?
Somatic Reset is about shedding old patterns, thoughts and behaviors that create a disconnected experience, and aligning our minds and bodies to the reality of intimacy.
This course, the body, and your place on Earth will be the primary teachers of this course. As a Somatic Guide, I invite us to consider Somatic Frameworks that activate our Social Intelligent Nervous System, and awaken our connections with the earth.
Participants can expect to
experience consciousness altering practices and exercises that lead to a deeper self-knowing
to know more clearly about their gifts, purpose, vision,
let go of disconnecting thought forms like perfectionism, self-hatred talk, and This into practices and observations wit
bodies bodies, In healthy cultures and societies, a community is highly invested in supporting individuals to seek the wisdom of their soul, and and return to the community with clarity of vision and a clear sense of the gifts that they are here to offer back to the community. This is the hero’s journey. The longevity of a culture relies heavily on the youth discovering their soul’s purpose, and bringing it back to the community as a gift.
Those of us growing up in cultures that have lost this generational webbing, struggle either to take this journey in the first place, or to fully integrate the gifts of this journey back into the community. As a trained Purpose Guide, Miriam supports people in taking this journey to the heart of their souls, to retrieve the clarity, guidance, and instruction of soul to discern their vocation and the gifts they are here to provide to the larger community.
