SUMMARY:Moving Body - Finding Peace\, Making Space for Grief
DESCRIPTION:Moving Body – Finding Peace\, Making Space for Grief\nA Continuum Peace Prayer Workshop at Shantigar\nSaturday\, July 26\, 2025 • 9:30 am – 5:30 pm*\nLocation: Shantigar Foundation 63 Davenport Road Rowe\, MA 01367\nFee: Sliding scale of $30-$125\nA portion of proceeds will benefit Traprock Center for Peace & Justice \nFor registration and questions: Contact Megan Bathory-Peeler \nEmail: megan@somanautiko.com or call: 413.772.0078 \n*Notes: Plan to arrive at 9:00 am to orient and transition without stress. Bring a picnic lunch\, water bottle\, journal and pen\, layers of clothing\, and blankets or mats for exploring outside. No previous Continuum experience is required. Every Body is welcome! \nEnjoy an inspirational day with personal nourishment on Shantigar’s glorious mountainside. Devote yourself to reconnecting with internal peace and creativity\, sourced directly from your moving\, breathing body. \nThis workshop is lovingly held by Continuum teacher and somanaut\, Megan Bathory-Peeler. With sound\, breath\, movement\, stillness\, and silence\, come share a peace prayer process that emerged from the work of Megan’s Israeli colleague\, Leela Shalem\, who holds healing spaces for people living in the crossfire of wars. Through this process\, it is possible for anyone to dive deep and connect with a sense of security\, sanity\, and peacefulness that is stable and untouched by surrounding noise. While resting in that space\, an opening to grief and a rekindling of one’s inner light occurs. \nIt is said that in difficult times\, it is only bodhichitta (awakening wisdom and compassion for all sentient beings) that heals. When inspiration has become hidden\, when we feel ready to give up\, this is the time when healing can be found in the tenderness of pain itself. This is the time to touch the genuine heart of bodhichitta. In the midst of loneliness\, in the midst of fear\, in the middle of feeling misunderstood and rejected is the heartbeat of all things\, the genuine heart of sadness. – Pema Chödrön \nGathering as community in these times of chaos and uncertainty\, we can create islands of coherence and sanity\, embodying peace\, weaving a web of light that breathes life into a new vision of the future. \nDuring this day long workshop\, there will be a ceremonial cacao offering made by participant Scout Savard to enhance and support the opening of our hearts\, the opening to grief\, and the deepening of inner peace. There will also be opportunity to explore with art-making supplies and time to metabolize\, meditate\, and muse in Shantigar’s pristine woods and fields. \nFor questions and registration\, contact Megan via email: megan@somanautiko.com or phone: 413.772.0078 \nWorkshop facilitator Megan Bathory-Peeler is an expert somanaut\, fully engaged by the moving inquiry of what it takes to thrive in a human body and within the human experience in the 21st century. Her unique Somanautiko approach synergistically weaves together three decades of professional interdisciplinary study and practice as a teacher of Continuum\, Certified Somatic Therapist/Educator\, bodyworker\, choreographer\, performance artist\, activist\, and mother. Megan’s greatest pleasure comes from co-creating safe spaces that allow people of all ages to return home to themselves\, reclaim the power of their own creativity\, and find ease in the innate wisdom of their bodies.
