Gender Expansive Embodiment Workshop

Gender Expansive Embodiment Workshop

Join us for a transformative journey into the depths of gender expression and identity. This experiential workshop offers a safe, judgment-free space to explore the fluidity of gender beyond societal constructs. Through embodied practices like intuitive dance and metaphorical shape-shifting, you'll tap into your somatic wisdom and expand your understanding of how gender is shaped by various influences.

What to Expect:

• Guided movement explorations to embody different gender expressions
• Metaphorical shape-shifting into animals and mythical beings
• Examining the dynamic interplay between gender and relationships
• Journaling for self-reflection and insight
• A curious, open environment to embrace your authentic self

Who is This For?

This workshop welcomes all individuals who identify as male, female, non-binary, or anywhere on the gender spectrum. It's ideal for those seeking to deepen their self-awareness, break free from gender norms, and cultivate greater presence and connection in their lives and relationships.

What Our Clients Say

"Mojgan helped me come home to myself after struggling with the effects of trauma. Thanks to our somatic work together I have an unwavering commitment to being my authentic self for the sake of inner peace, community, social justice, and ultimately belonging. The way she facilitates, actively listens, and observes ensured I was being seen, heard, and held. Her way of teaching is very clear, understandable, and relatable." - XB

Facilitated by:

Mojgan Besharat is a first generation immigrant from Iran, who identifies as a queer brown woman, I hold the beauty and complexity of intersectionality living on borrowed land from the Saponi, Eno and Occaneechi people. My commitment is to empower through healing our collective trauma for the sake of embodied liberation and joy. As we deepen and widen into our full selves we can savor our inherent need to live in connection to all beings.

Our mission to make somatics accessible and affordable while leveraging the power of science and community.

• Accessibility: There is no one size fits all. We provide a variety of practices in different durations by diverse facilitators so everyone can find what works for them.
• Affordability: The expensive cost of Somatics keeps it out of reach for most people. We strive to provide an affordable option
• Science: The research is clear and only keeps growing - Somatic practices powerfully improve mental and physical health in ways cognitive approaches or mindfulness alone simply can’t.
• Community: You don’t have to do it alone. We heal, learn and grow in community and we strive to bring together an online community so you know you’re not alone
