TUNING



TUNING is a somatic, intuitive, and creative modality that works to support presence, ease, and attention in embodied experience. 

Named for Pauline Oliveros’ “Tuning Meditation” and informed by numerous contemplative, somatic, and therapeutic approaches, as well as the work of Hilma af Klint, Ana Mendieta, CA Conrad, Hildegard von Bingen, and others, TUNING‘s primary objective is to offer space for deep rest and release alongside making. Group TUNING incorporates gentle movement, structured breathing, and creative visualization with opportunity for reflection and experiment to encourage nervous system regulation, creative/personal work, mental and emotional processing, and deep physical release, through slowing down and getting curious. No experience needed; each participant adapts the practice so that it serves them.

TUNING began in a virtual space in 2021 with the hope of offering somatic tools and care in a time of collective difficulty, and has since comprised in-person workshops that explore group & individual creative work, engagement with environment, and connection with others. 




ARCHIVE






TUNING Sequence (virtual)


Through somatic practice, creation experiments, ongoing correspondence, resources, group observation, and a 1:1 intuitive session, the TUNING Sequence is designed to open participants to their own process of inquiry with and beyond the body. A multi-week arc adapted uniquely by each individual, the sequence provides a gentle container for estabilshing a regular somatic practice, nurturing internal exploration and curiosity, cultivating creative work, finding pathways to self-regulation, and supporting growth, change, and healing/release processes.

TUNING Outside


TUNING Outside provides space for individual processing and release within a group experience of deep attention. We begin by moving through a gentle physical practice that combines breath, movement, and visualization to encourage regulation and rest, inviting individual and collective receptivity, then turn listening outward, toward one another and the surrounding environment.
