Community classes and CEU’s

In addition to our Massage Therapy Certificate program, SŌMA will host community wellness classes throughout the year. We will also bring in guest instructors to offer continuing education opportunities to our existing community of bodyworkers.

Classes will be open to the public and LMT’s will be able to receive CEU certificates from licensed classes.

If you or someone you know would be interested in teaching a community class please reach out to us! We would love to talk with you.

Community Class: Howl and Shake

Friday May, 16

7PM

Calling You In, Sister.
Come to Growl Stomp Howl Shake
Come to Inquire Within
Come to Stoke the Fire

“These are burning times. And they call for Burning Women. Women embodied in their passion. Woman feeling in their bodies. Creative women. Courageous women. Women who have learned to run on a different power source to the world which is falling into flames around her. She has already disentangled herself from the wreckage of the patriarchal culture, so she will not be dazed, confused and disorientated by the systemic changes happening around her. Centred within herself, receptive to the Earth beyond her, she knows how to cultivate from the ashes, she knows how to find the embers to fuel the new fire.

Burning Women arise.
Our time is now.
Our time has come.”
—Lucy H Pearce
