As seen on IG and TikTOK! LIVE Somatic Activated Healing™ comes to Memphis at Urevbu Gallery, August 8, 9 at 6 PM and 10th at 5:30 PM.
This three night series is designed to help you shake free of your internalized Dis track so that you can enjoy your gifts, skills, and authentically BE.
The Call
This series is for you if:
You have recently noticed that you complain a lot;
You have trouble enjoying your wins;
You care deeply about your peeps, but have conversation patterns that keep getting in the way.
You would rather organize yourself around creativity, collaboration, and pleasure but don't see how that's even realistic;

You are invited to let it all go on the dance floor. Maybe get free of a few habits of mind that have you trapped in your poise. Let’s get loose. Let's get sweaty. Let’s get deep in those sinews and pull out all the old stories that you tell to get that dose of Dissatisfaction that holds you down and back. Let’s become present to what is and discover the safety and power of joyful, radical acceptance.

What is Somatic Activated Healing™?
Created by Sah DiSimone, the SAH Method™ is a movement experience designed to alleviate the stress and trauma of living in an extractive economy and culture. It is a radical, spiritual body technique that is practiced like interval training using movement, breathwork, meditation, affirmations, and ecstatic dance to create a circuit. A session can include as few as one circuit or as many as 5.
This radical wellness practice — championed by Deepak Chopra, and heralded in Forbes, Vogue, the Daily Mail, and more combines science-based healing modalities to clear emotional blocks, build resilience, and reconnect with your innate and powerful essence.
Our students consistently rave that the SAH Method™ offers profound psychological, physical, and spiritual benefits including:
Reduced depression and anxiety
Reduced physical pain and lethargy
Increased sense of resilience
Increased joy and inspiration
Improved physical health and energy
Improved mental health and clarity
Deepened connection to authenticity and self-expression

Do I need to be a trained dancer?
Not at all! In fact, trained dancing--using choreography--is a type of storytelling that may get in the way of experiencing a full somatic release. You are invited to move however your body can move as long as you are respectful of the bodies and personal space of others.

What happens if I start crying?
You are invited to allow your tears to flow. This is a non-judgemental safe space. If you have the sense that you will become very emotional, bring your favorite blanket and pillow to swaddle and squeeze. It's gonna be alright.

Will there be food?
Light organic snacks and juice will be provided after each session. Please do NOT eat a large meal before a session.

Is this 420 friendly?
While all fantasies can be lived, we find that coming to a session with only the plant medicine or allopathic medication you require in your system is the best choice. Please do not light up as a way to go deeper in a session. The dancing, sweating, breathwork and music is designed to take you where your body needs to go.

Can I skip my therapy that day and do this instead?
Somatic Activated Healing is NOT a substitution for psychological and psychiatric treatment. While we do believe the body has the power to heal itself, it does so in community, with the trained support of an array of providers.

Can I just sit and watch?
Short answer, no. This is a participatory, communal experience anchored in trauma-informed delivery and practice. Having an audience is simply not cool.

I'm feeling a little sweaty and stuffed up. Can I still come and sweat it out?
Alas my love, the days of sweating it out because it's just a cold or flu are long gone. If you feel under the weather, please stay home and take a COVID test. Be safe!

What do I need to bring?
You will need to wear comfortable clothes for sweating and moving.
Bring sneakers for dancing in case the floor bothers your feet.
Sweat towel
Refillable water bottle
Blanket or wrap
Pillow
Yoga Mat
A change of clothes if you sweat a lot and...
You will need to bring an open mind.
You will need to bring the willingness to be uncomfortable.
You will need to bring your attention.
You will need to bring your biggest bag of emotional garbage you keep dragging around.
