Earth Body Care
Saturday 9am-10:00am CT
July 22, 2023
Led by Rachel Tate (they/she)
Join Rachel for the invitation to care for your earth body in curious and tender ways. This 60 minute class is responsive to the season, astrological positions, and communal events that affect us all in various forms.
Each class will begin with discussion around current collective experience, and how this might show up in our earth bodies. With focus on sensation, there will be invitation to connect with tender bodywork, exploratory shapes, and curious movement among other somatic practices aimed at supporting the individual within the group.
An example of a class during the summer, with sun in Leo, might look like a gathering focused on balancing heat with heart nourishing self care, restorative shapes, and gentle movement.
Each time is different with the same invitation to keep curiosity and take care.

Meet Rachel
Massage therapist and Movement Guide
For nearly 15 years, I have been working as a health and wellness professional serving various communities. Within my experience as a provider and patient, I have developed the ability to create comforting environments that invite regulation, supported by various tools and resources. In each space I hold, I seek to meet the individuals in my community where they are, in each moment.
As a massage therapist & movement guide, I believe the core of why I do this work is to develop supportive connections with others, earth, and myself. Stemming from my value in relationship, is my great curiosity and interest in how our bodies function and experience life on this planet.
I aim to support others in the ongoing journey of self and communal connection. I am especially passionate about fostering the relationship to our earth body, and enjoy sharing tools and resources to enhance personal rituals. Through my ever evolving practice and continuing education, I strive to consistently develop and offer quality care for those I have the privilege of communing with.
