We tend to return to a familiar handful of ways of being with other people. This workshop invites you to try something different.

Through clear prompts, you’ll explore relational flavors like vulnerability, desire, authority, need, tenderness, predator/prey, influence, and beyond. You’ll pair with another person to explore each flavor for the length of a song.

The music creates the container: a clear beginning and ending that gives you permission to enter ways of relating you might normally avoid, interrupt, soften, or struggle to locate.

Bio:

Ali Williams is the founder of Dragon Academy, a relational gym for expanding our range in intimacy, desire, power, vulnerability, and embodied leadership. Her work is about reclaiming authorship over who we are and cultivating agency, freedom, self-possession, and range in how we relate. A former Olympic-level synchronized swimmer and UCLA-trained leadership coach, she is also the steward of Hawaii Tantra Festival and COO of REVEL, a 350-person immersive convergence.

✨ WHAT IS THE SOMATIC PLAYGROUND?

🌟 Embodiment classes on Mondays from some of your favorite SoulPlay teachers and more!

🌟 A place for you to learn, embody, and grow somatic, primal, emotional, energetic intelligence

🌟 A space to co-create community with an embodied common language around relating, intimacy, sensuality, and sexuality

🌟 An opportunity to slow down, connect, and move at the pace of trust

🌟 A time to have fun, move, and dance together!

Join us for a series of collaborative exploration at The Somatic Playground! These in-person events will take place on Mondays 7-10pm

Get ready to immerse yourself in a unique experience of connecting with yourself and others in a playful, expressive, & intimate way. Through various somatic exercises and activities, you'll discover new ways to move, connect, let go, and build trust with those around you.

Whether you're a seasoned dancer or have never stepped foot on a dance floor before, this event welcomes everyone. We're cultivating a thoughtful space to explore your body's language, express yourself freely, and connect with like-minded individuals.

In the Somatic Playground, we will cultivate a community of somatic attunement and relational intelligence. Each week, a different facilitator will guide you on a journey of research, play, and practice, honing your abilities to dive into your somatic, emotional, primal, energetic, and relational bodies - learning to listen through touch and taste the pathway of motion. An open jam will follow as a way to continue exploring together sparks and curiosities from class.

So, mark your calendars and come join us at The Somatic Playground for an evening filled with exploration, movement, touch, and connection. Don't miss out on this opportunity to let loose, meet new people, and discover the joy of moving at the rhythm of connection and trust.

🌟 Our Community Agreements

As teachers, facilitators, and participants, while we support everyone engaging with sovereignty (making good choices for themselves and others), we also understand that trauma has huge influence on people's behavior and experience, so we are trauma informed in the ways we teach, engage, and/or participate in these classes. We also recognize and continue to learn to be aware of the power dynamics that exist or might arise as we engage, and seek to level the playing field of power whenever possible, and engage with utmost attunement and consideration for each other.

Erotic energy may emerge but is not the goal. Sensual touch is welcome - we are exploring all that is possible in terms of how we relate to each other through sensing. S3xual touch is not a part of this container. Please reach out with any questions.

🌟 Diversity and Inclusion

For each class series, we seek to include a diverse group of facilitators to express the full range of humanness, bodies, and experience around race, age, gender, identity, sex, sexual orientation, and more. Some series may appear at first glance to favor some subgroups, and while may be accurate that this is what was available at the time, we continue to include facilitators who fit all of these subgroups.

Similarly, and in collaboration with the Bloom/Plura App/Community, we seek to include a diverse group of humans and celebrate all experiences, bodies, and experiences, especially of those who have historically been less favored or appreciated.

Please reach out with any questions.

🌟 Refunds or Transfer

If it ever turns out that a class isn't for you or that you missed a class for any reason, we'll be happy to either refund you or allow you to come to a future class instead. No problem 🫶
