​the elements of leadership 

​a 4-part experiential workshop series

​modern leadership requires more than strategy and intellect — it requires presence, discernment, emotional intelligence, and the capacity to respond rather than react.

​this four-part workshop series invites you to embody the four classical elements — earth, fire, air, and water — as living intelligences that shape how we lead, relate, decide, and show up in our lives and our work.

​each session is an immersive experience, blending somatic practice, reflection, community dialogue, and ritualized elements to translate embodiment directly into real-world leadership capacity.

​you may attend individual sessions or the full series for a deeper arc of integration.

​earth — foundations of embodied leadership

​grounding, stability, and inner safety.

​earth is the element of stability, support, and containment.

​this session focuses on building the internal foundations that allow leaders to feel steady, resourced, and present — even amid pressure, change, or uncertainty.

​when earth is underdeveloped, leaders often overextend, rush, or operate from anxiety.

​when earth is embodied, leadership becomes grounded, reliable, and regulating — for ourselves and for those around us.

​in this session, participants will:

• ​explore grounding and nervous system regulation as essential leadership skills

• ​experience how stability in the body supports clarity in decision-making

• ​practice somatic tools for containment, pacing, presence

• ​reflect on where they may be leading from depletion versus support

​participants will leave with practical tools to lead from steadiness, set sustainable boundaries, communicate with clarity and confidence, and create environments where people feel safe, supported, and grounded.

​important details:

• ​​wear: comfortable clothes you can move in

• ​​bring: something to cover your eyes, a journal & pen.

• ​doors will close at 6:15pm and there is no late entry. thank you for giving yourself ample time to park, arrive and settle in to protect the integrity of the container. ♡

• ​light snacks provided.

​upcoming sessions (tuesday's 6-9pm):

​water: april 28th

​air: may 26th

​you can attend individual sessions or the full series for a deeper arc of integration.

​her work is rooted in somatics (from the greek sōma, meaning body) and the belief that true transformation happens when the wisdom of the body is integrated with the power of the mind. when our whole system is 'online', space opens for insight, emotional regulation, and aligned action.
