In-Person Swamp

A Swamp is a place for women to be in and express the full range of our emotions through our bodies while being witnessed and held by the other women.

We live in a society where we are taught not to feel. Not to express our emotions. We are especially taught to disconnect, to shove down, to ignore our uncomfortable feelings. Only express emotion when we feel good. We want to counter that. We want to FEEL our feelings.

Expressing our difficult emotions helps release them. It supports us in getting unstuck and feeling more freedom in our bodies. Releasing our challenging emotions makes space for us to feel our other emotions. Being in collective witness of one another while experiencing our emotions allows us to feel less alone.

There are few spaces in our society where women are welcome to express all of ourselves – both the light and the shadow – in full unapologetic ways. I want us to aim to be that space together!

It’s a place…
to feel our anger, grief, rage, frustration, loneliness, jealousy and all the other feelings.
to dance, move, yell, pound on the floor and feel our feelings.
to be in community where big feelings are welcomed, honored and encouraged by others.
to sway our hips and feel what feels good and right and erotic in our bodies and to be in our RADIANCE.

I ALWAYS feel better after a SWAMP with my Sisters!
