ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
In these times of increasing authoritarianism, polarization, and violence, we are committed to strengthening practices that help collectively maneuver with strength, suppleness, and clarity. Specifically, we are interested in somatic, psychological, and martial practices that help us learn to navigate conflict, de-escalate stressful situations, and defend and protect ourselves and others when needed—without reproducing patterns of violence, domination and oppression. This is a transformative healing stance, rooted in care and compassion for all, which sits at the root of many contemplative, spiritual, and martial traditions.
In this introductory workshop, we will offer participants both a framework and set of practices for navigating difficult interpersonal encounters as well as a foundational set of self defense practices.
Together, we will:
Learn how to access our self energy, dignity, and power;
Explore a model for understanding patterns of “shaping” under stress and in conflict that impact our potential to respond most skillfully;
Practice skills for finding more presence and resource in times of stress or when encountering a threat;
Develop ways of supporting each other to find more presence in times of stress in order to meet in our power with dignity and care;
Learn empowering tools of self defense
This workshop is open to all, including folks new to self defense and martial arts as well as those with training experience. Part one will introduce participants to our stress and wisdom shape framework, and focus on building our sense of personal and relational power in conflict. Part two will focus on explicit practices for self defense. (Experienced martial artists are encouraged to attend the full event, and also welcome to join us for part one only, if preferred.)
The workshop will include engaging group activities, discussion, personal reflection, and guided self defense training. We expect all participants to honor our agreements to support the container and our shared learning.
*Please dress comfortably and bring a water bottle. Light snacks will be served.

Healing Circle - A Family Constellation Workshop in Person
An immersive group therapeutic experience aimed at uncovering and resolving deep-seated family issues and dynamics. Developed by Bert Hellinger, this approach seeks to reveal hidden patterns and traumas that can impact your life.
Mom and Me - An Embodied Experience
We first experience the world through our Mother’s eyes. For nine months, we breathe through her, and we share her emotions and all her experiences. This is just the beginning of arguably the most important relationship that impacts our life.
In this workshop, you will have insights and assistance with your own unique dynamic with your mother.
We will look for ways that you may keep carrying her experiences, or how you may strive for what she should have given you. Most importantly, you will experience in your body through Family Constellation movements, an integration and most likely a significant shift in this relationship.
During two and a half hours, Paloma Shultz will lead a workshop where you will have an embodied experience; mixing meditations, readings, introspection, sharing, and Family Constellation movements.
You may think you know everything about your relationship with your mother, but on May 20th, you will feel and experience through movements and discourse, what you need to acknowledge, integrate and move towards for a life that is lighter, with her in your heart.
May 20th 2pm- 4:30PM
Workshop ny
Our family dynamics can significantly influence how we see ourselves, others and the world around us. Once we become aware of these influences, we have more control over our perceptions, actions and goals. Get to know your immediate family system as well as previous generations on a different and deeper level by realizing what is still impacting and influencing you today.
As you look at your family members through this fresh approach, you might discover your hidden contracts, loyalties, or unresolved conflicts that cause stressors or triggers. You will get to know yourself better, as well as the choices you have made and the patterns you keep repeating.
Join me on March 25th at 2PM for this unforgettable workshop to discover how what is behind you, lives inside you and how you can unlock these familial portals to set yourself free.
This two and half hour transformative workshop will begin with a relaxation exercise, followed by an explanation of the content. Then, you will put together your family tree focusing on your family patterns, important events, traumas and any other situations that may be impacting your life today. We will close with a visualization to integrate what has come to the surface and any insights you have gained.
