About this Event

A somatic movement workshop, fire creation ritual & community sauna time - to celebrate the solstice in community - co-facilitated by Luke McLaughlin & Taylor Johnson. 🚘 ARRIVAL TIME: 2:40-2:55 Arrive “early,” because the workshop starts at 3. 🍃WORKSHOP & FIRE CREATION: 3:00-5:00 The movement workshop combines elements of primal movement, generative somatics, contact improv and mobility training… (led by Taylor). After we build the inner fire through movement, we’ll transition into a group fire-creation ritual, where we’ll explore the mythos of fire and literally create the central fire for our evening with our bare hands in a unique friction fire method (led by Luke). 🔥RESTORATIVE SAUNA LOUNGE: 5:00-7:00 In community, we get to recharge with sauna, cold plunge, showers and a central fire. There’ll be conversation prompts given (inspired by authentic relating + generative somatics) to build connection, network, and help you move towards the future you want. *IMPORTANT NOTE: This is a highly interactive event — not a solitary yoga class. Many exercises involve intentional physical contact with others - for the sake of learning, teamwork & growth. You will always have full choice with partners and the level of physical contact that works for you. 🎟️ TICKETS: https://www.drip-sauna.com/event-calendar/somatics-2986l 🧺 WHAT TO BRING: • **Come with an intention in mind for something in your life that’s important to you (ex: creative project, business goal, relationship growth, way of being, etc.). We’ll get to work/play with this in some of the movement exercises. • A full water bottle • Comfortable & warm clothes to move in (dress appropriately for a winter outdoor workshop) • Bathing suits for the sauna • Towel • Change of clothes for post-sauna ————- **Personal Note (Taylor here): Movement has become huge in my life... you could say I've fallen in love with it as a modality over the past few years. I don't yet consider myself a "teacher" of movement... more a practitioner/student - someone who loves sharing this art & practice with other people. And while it is true that I will be guiding what we do together... Luke and I will be in the practices with you - doing all the same things, because we want to do this in community. :) LUKE & TAYLOR’S BIO: Through wild adventures into the many layers of being human (Luke as a wilderness survival instructor & multi-time winner of Naked & Afraid, and Taylor as a sexologist specializing in men’s vitality & sexual health) Luke & Taylor have figured out how to combine forces to create the ultimate in man stuff experiences. Like that? :p 💪 🔨 🔥 All jokes aside… We’re looking forward to meeting you and guiding us all through some fun & meaningful processes that will help us deepen & grow as men in this modern world. Reach out if you have any questions.
