being nature

My somatic nature- and horse-assisted accompaniment is dedicated to embodied personal growth, self-discovery, experimental learning and integration of trauma and high stress responses such as PTSD – all in the interbeing with the body, each other, horses and wild nature around. Self-recreation of Being Nature with SE® interlinks embodiment, mindfulness and interbeing.

somatic EMBODIMENT Session

Your self is like nature’s prism of embodied experiences. It transforms entering events into a vivid whole spectrum of sensations, feelings, images and thoughts. Trauma responses can narrow this somatic spectrum and capacity to experience and discover yourself and world around. With Somatic Experiencing® we invite the inherent re-creation of your embodied nature’s prism self.

Trauma and high stress responses can appear in all day life and every accompaniment process. Trauma isn’t the experience what happened to you, it’s the experience of what happens as unprocessed somatic response to it within you. The complementary trauma-integrative approach of Somatic Experiencing (SE)® attunes to the body and goes in conversation not through talk therapy,  

but through the autonomic nervous system. Experiences of discharging unprocessed, survival states from the past, enable embodying nature’s inherent power and rhythm of self-recreation through self-regulation, completion and aliveness in the here and now. 

Optional session settings are in the studio, online and being in nature or with horses as assistence. Sessions are in English or German.

the process

Self-recreation is a circular process, that invites to experience the journey and its companions, rather than the destination. In the nature of being with what is, lies the gift of change to re-creation. Thus in each moment we notice what is. Like using a binoculars or magnifying glass, we flexibly can get a detailed or a bigger picture. Zooming in and out, expansion and contraction – That‘s the interwoven regulative rhythm of nature we embody inherently.

INTERBEING CIRCLE WORKSHOP

Interbeing means equal interconnectedness with all life. It’s the idea of mutual interdependence individually and collectively. It’s the inherent embodied wisdom of nature and being part of a whole ecosystem. This experience invites a mindful emphatic equal co-existence with ourselves, each other and all nature beings.

In this recreation space you experience your individual ecosomatic interconnectedness with and as nature. With changing topics we cultivate a somatic access and conversation with nature by including the body’s perception as nature itself. Through a nervous system lense, trauma-sensitive tools offer a self-explorative framework.

This enhances all day life support in mindfulness. Let's listen to the language of nature and learn to truly embody it. The circle setting differs from indoor to outdoor in the presence of nature and horses. Previous circle topics you can see below.

HORSE HUMAN LEARNING Session

Beyond training and behavirousm, this session re-invites your embodied interbeing of the horse and yourself – in relatively freedom and equality. We build a mutual re-creation space in wich we experimentally explore and learn a common language in this in horse-human union and encounter. This gives a better understanding of your own and your horse’s needs.

It is a foundation to observe and listen to both of your autonomic nervous system signs and to response to it in a trauma-sensitive and mindful way. This boundary preservation and care work enhances a long term embodied learning, trust and bonding with each other. It gives a complementary perspective that can be applied to any of your individual training approaches.

Reaction patterns as stress or trauma responses can slowly be integrated and rewired to more curiosity, naturality and well-being for you and your horse. Let’s re-create a whole new mutual being with each other, that leaves space for not knowing.

Wether you look for an additional approach or need support on a specific topic, I’ll come to your stable.

THE DETAILS

The somatic experience and my accompaniment starts with our first encounter. We’ll clarify your intention and try a taste of SE®. For an embodied process, a regular 60 min session rhythm of 2 to 3 weeks with integration space in between is usual. We can decide individually about rhythm and optional settings.

shared experiences

»Lara always gave me the feeling that everything was allowed to be there. With this incredibly beautiful attitude, there was no pressure and it was totally okay to simply not feel anything. I really took a lot away from SE and Lara. It gave me a whole new perspective on certain things. I was able to reflect on some of the experiences I had. I finally understood some of my feelings and patterns. I am incredibly grateful to Lara for this new experience.«

»Thanks to Lara and her practice I learned about my nervous system and how to react to its needs. She did not just practice exercises with me but also gave me a framework to understand what was going on.  I feel like I have now more courage to work with my inner world and explore it deeper instead of escaping its unknown depths. «

»The great thing about this approach is the switch between one aspect and another - between when I feel good and feel safe and where I don't feel good and feel safe. What I find so impontant in this, is the stepping out of the energy and being aware that I can do that. This also creates a stepping back, so I can look at it fnom a distance and not being exposed to these feelings, this inner experience. And what happens by switching fnom one energy to another, is movement and thereby a change in yourself.«

»The circle has such a profound effect on me I am amazed. Feel so centered reconnected and inspired. It’s amazing what being nature does – so needed!«
