SHADOW SIDE OF THE FEMININE
Join Maanee Chrystal, founder of the Somatic Institute For Women & 1000's of women world wide in this 3 part, trauma informed workshop series investigating the feminine shadow.
​
This series explores the aspects we as women have been conditioned by society, religion & culture are not safe to express. The parts that we hide & deny & feel shame about, because we were taught they threatened our sense of belonging & our need for love & connection
.
These denied aspects of self are where our greatest source of power, purpose & freedom reside. it is more important, now that ever before, we as women reclaim what has been lost in order to shift the patriarchal paradigm that not only oppresses women but the sacredness of life.

The nourishing power of sensuality is a crucial nutrient to our well-being, joy & connection to ourselves. It has been scientifically proven that both sensuality & pleasure have profound effects on our neurobiology.
Yet, the limited, patriarchal and misguided association of sensuality with only sex and sexuality has led us to unconsciously and unknowingly deny ourselves the fundamental experience of being sensual creatures, as a way of living in the world.
​
Our access to this nutrient has been misdirected and misinformed. In this way, we unconsciously outsource our need for sensuality and pleasure to superficial and temporary things - often inadvertently furthering colonial and capitalist paradigms.
​
We have been deprived of our birth right: to be in connection with the abundant renewable resource sensuality offers us to maintain the felt, genuine and long lasting experience of peace, connection and intimacy within ourselves.
​
During this three-part workshop series, Maanee Chrystal, Founder of the Somatic Institute for Women will guide you through an inquiry into how we can expand our notions of sensuality in a healthy way, in order to reclaim our inherently sensual nature.
​
The act of reclaiming sensuality is a form of activism. By reclaiming sensuality, we are reclaiming pleasure and aliveness, and no longer relying on the control apparatuses of the present.

MEET THE FOUNDER
Maanee Chrystal
SOMATIC INTEGRATIV TRAUMA THERAPIST, SOMATIC EDUCATOR & DANCE THERAPIST
Hi, I'm Maanee. I’m a Somatic Psychotherapist, Dance Therapist, Erotic Educator & Somatic Integrative Trauma Therapist & the founder of the Somatic Institute For Women.
​​​
I am a deep feeler and lover of the truth. An investigator of the hidden, denied and repressed. A beloved of presence, movement, deep belly breaths, touch, the Erotic and silence.
My muse is the sensuous, felt, emotional, watery realms of the underworld.
The teachings, visions and curations found in this space emerge not only from my 10 years of professional practice and study in the field of somatic therapeutic modalities and practices, but more importantly, from my living, breathing experience and inquiry of being in deep connection with the Shadow, the Body, nervous system, the erotic and the Feminine principle.
​
I believe that it is our birthright to feel safe, alive and free our bodies.
That is why I created this school.
