Nature's Mirror - Moving to Pattern
Use these Somatic Practices to Get Closer to Nature and Yourself
Move like nature. Breathe with it. Become it.
Spirals - The Dance of Becoming
Spirals are nature’s way of expressing growth, balance, and expansion—found in galaxies, seashells, and even our DNA—reminding us that life unfolds in rhythmic, centering cycles rather than straight lines.
Journaling, meditation, and somatic movement help us align with this natural pattern, fostering clarity, harmony, and inner evolution.
Radials - Shining From the Center
Radial patterns radiate outward from a center, seen in sunflowers, starbursts, and spiderwebs—showing us how vitality, energy, and influence naturally emerge from a stable core.
Practices rooted in this design help us build confidence, express ourselves authentically, and connect to others from a place of grounded wholeness.
