Growing Capacity for Living with Change ~ Awakening Self Healing through Connection ~ In Service to Community and the Greater Earth Body

About

Somatic Resiliency

Somatic Resiliency is born out of Kari Stettler’s lifelong love, passion and quest for wellness and wholeness in the human body, heart, mind and soul. Somatic Resiliency places the body and embodiment at the center of healing and wholeness within the human, invoking the experience of being the change. Embodying a felt sense of wholeness and wellness can inspire and support the much needed work of our times of collective liberation and the internal dismantling of the conditioning of patriarchy and systemic oppression of white supremacy. A cultivated sense of somatic resiliency radiates out in widening circles in service to the healing of relations, of communities and of the web of life that sustains all of life.

I have found that when I am in connection with the wisdom inherent in my body through tracking sensations, emotions, images and authentic movement impulses, I can make clear and empowered meaning of my experience. From this body-centered orientation I am available for meeting others in authenticity and curiosity. My experience has brought me to a way of living that centers my sense of embodiment as baseline for being an effective agent of change on the planet. From this place, I can connect most deeply with the seen and unseen (not to mention my human relations!) and be in co-creativity with life. And, I FEEL GOOD doing it, because I am living fully present, in my body. Getting here has been a journey of meeting traumatic imprints, a continuous process of dismantling the way patriarchy lives in me, waking up to my experience of white privilege, growing my capacity for being with the full spectrum of emotional experience, establishing a net of support and devotion to practices that support physical, emotional and spiritual well-being. And, the journey is not over. I continue to arrive to myself and it is from this place of being human, that I meet you in our work together.

Kari Stettler and Somatic Resiliency offerings reside on the stolen lands from the ancestral and current inhabitants of Coast Miwok and Southern Pomo tribal nations. These communities, currently represented by but not limited to, The Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria, who have called this place home for hundreds of generations before European and other mixed race settlers arrived, are the original and current human stewards of these dynamic ecologies. The diverse landscapes of this region which provide an abundance of food, medicine and textiles from which I benefit is an ongoing legacy from generations of their tending. Wherever you are reading this from, I invite you to take a moment, reflect on the Indigenous peoples of the place you call home. How can you learn more about them, their culture, their stories of past and present, and most importantly, what can you do to support your local Indigenous led organizations, projects and movements? If you are living in or around the “Bay Area of California”, there is a list on the Resources page of local Indigenous-led organizations and projects you can consider researching and supporting.
