being nature
The somatic nature- and horse-interconnected 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, self-regulation, mindfulness and interbeing.

NATURE Embodiment Session
Your self is like nature’s prism of embodied experiences. It transforms entering events into a vivid whole felt spectrum of sensations, feelings, images, movements and thoughts. Trauma responses can narrow this spectrum and capacity to experience and connect with your natural self and world around. In interconnection, we notice and listen to nature’s intuitive spectrum and impulses within and around you. This embodied biomimicry invites the inherent re-creation of your embodied nature’s prism self.
Trauma and high stress responses can be omnipresent. 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, can enable embodying nature’s inherent power and rhythm of self-recreation through self-regulation, completion and aliveness in the here and now.
To experience nature, we meet in nature. The session setting is outdoors in Berlin’ forests with or without temporary presence of horses. Optionally, we can meet online. Sessions are in English and German.
the process
✹
Self-recreation is a circular process, that invites you 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 (established by Thich Nhat Hanh) means equal interconnectedness with all life. It’s the idea of mutual interdependence individually, collectively and environmentally. It describes the inherent embodied wisdom of nature and being part of a whole ecosystem. By experiencing this, you are invited to 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. By changing topics in each circle, 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 can enhance somatic mindfulness, self-regulation and connecting with nature in everyday life. Let's listen to the language of nature and learn to truly access and embody it. The circle setting differs from indoor to outdoor in the presence of nature and horses. – «Nature is not a place to visit. It is home.» by Gary Snyder

HORSE HUMAN Experience
How we connect with horses is part of reshaping our relationship with nature. Beyond training and behaviorism, this session re-invites your embodied interbeing with the horse and yourself – in relative freedom, equality and consent. We build a mutual re-creation space in wich we experiment, explore and learn about the different perceptions in a horse-human encounter. This can provide deeply beneficial information about your own and the horse’s needs and experience. From here you can find a even better understanding and create a common language together.
For this exchange, it’s foundational to observe and respond to both of your subtle autonomic nervous system signs in a trauma-sensitive and mindful way. The allowance of this natural expression and boundary preservation can enhance an embodied learning, bonding and co-creation with each other. You know your horse best, so it will strengthen your perception even more. Therefore I offer a complementary perspective that can be applied to any of your individual communication approach.
Stucked 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 reshape a mutual being with each other, that leaves space for exploring, not knowing and un-learning dominant shaped ways of conversation.
Wether you look for an additional approach or need support on a specific topic or challenge you face, I’ll come to your stable.
THE DETAILS
The somatic experience and my accompaniment starts with our first encounter in nature or online. 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. I provide price bundles to taste impactful somatic experiences and sense if it’s a good fit for you.

SOMATIC LISTENING SESSION
Join us for a somatic listening journey of embodied sound! We like to make sound more experiential and tangible by embodied listening. But how do you embody sound that you’re listening to?
And why can that be an enriching experience? Embodiment is simply put consciously listening to your body – and embodied sound is consciously listening with your body. Sound as a sense can be an entry and access to foster a somatic connection and awareness with yourself and surrounding. At the same time this enhances you to experience the present moment.
Therefore, we invite you to listen not just with your ears, but also with your whole body‘s perception levels. To follow this invitation we open up space to experience a different kind of somatic listening. In a cozy living room atmosphere we offer selected sound contrasts played live by Patricia – DJ Coco Maggia playing experimental ambient sound and Lorin – Ügi Weiss playing intercultural psychedelic disco funk. To attune to a somatic sound journey, I’ll provide a short SE® inspired guidance to embody the individual sound of your body.
Those impulses you can take home with you. You’re free to join it or not. Whether you like to listen to music, get inspired by sound, are interested in conscious and somatic ways to connect or whatever resonates with you – you are welcome! This is our first pilot collaboration. We’d happy if you are part of it. We are looking forward! Feel free also to just come by, even for a quick visit, or reach out for any detailed information.*
14th of November · 6 – 9pm · A Room To Grow · 12 – 15€
*This event will be in English. Listening to music doesn’t need a translation, so feel free to come by whatever your language skills. You’re welcome to bring slippers, extra blanket, pillows, hot water bottle or anything else that makes you comfortable. Tea and cookies will be provided. Please notice that this is an alcoholic-free event. Animals are more than welcome. The space unfortunately isn’t acessible, yet. Please let us know if this is not affordable for you or anything that’s important to let us know – and we’ll find a solution.
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!«
