GSY Somatic Summit
This is our FIRST international gathering of our Somatic Family to exchange ideas, learn from each other, and co-create!

James' intentions and vision for our time together:

  • A Reunion! We wanted to create a space/container in which GSY trained teachers could come together and celebrate! We have so many resources to share with our collective soma, and this is the basis for our inspiration for this Retreat. 
  • We have a designated room at the resort to hold group movement classes that is rented all day on Saturday and Sunday. Beyond the morning GSY classes, where everyone is welcome to join, there will be options for the GSY Practitioner group to meet at various times of the day to hold sharing circles, demonstrations, workshops/classes, etc... Proposed schedule will be posted soon. 
  • As you know, GSY promotes a balanced and healthy lifestyle where the whole-self can be nourished & celebrated. This Somatic Summit provides a container in which you can bring friends, family, and partners to immerse in our collective energy field... where we can let our hair down, have fun, connect, network, relax... all in a conscious container of like-hearted people. 
  

*The prerequisite for attending this Summit is the completion of GSY Levels 1, 2, and/or 3
