What’s Coming Up

Guided by Manu Gallo, a breathwork facilitator, soundscape artist, and firefighter. Manu will guide you through a 75min breathwork experience + 15 minutes of decompression and integration. He leads with accessible and grounded language - inviting you to notice your capacity of activation and down-regulation through the container of your breath. He supports your journey with a state of the art soundsystem, playing down beats and up tempo sounds to guide you through your experience. Change your state of consciousness, hit the reset button on your nervous system, and then wind down with a guided meditation to leave you in a state of lightness and relaxation.

Exchange: $65

Included in all Full Access, SOMM 10, or Workshop Packs.

Chat with Binge-free Bestie

Join SOMM's Claire Robbie and Binge Free Bestie, Nic Gaviria, therapist and food-freedom hype person, for a gentle, non-judgmental conversation about something many women silently wrestle with: our relationship with food.

In this workshop, Claire and Nic will share from their own experiences, and Nic will break down some of the basics when it comes to developing a more peaceful relationship with food. This talk isn’t about rules or restrictions; it’s about discovering a more intuitive, compassionate, and empowered way to connect with food and also with yourself.

Sliding scale $10-$50

“It is possible the next Buddha will not take the form of an individual. The next Buddha may take the form of a community, a community practicing understanding and loving kindness, a community practicing mindful living. And the practice can be carried out as a group, as a city, as a nation.”

—Thich Nhat Hanh
