Somatic Sensitivities
for those taking off those caps and gowns
and then heading to yet another interview,
yet another resume tweak, yet another cover letter.

where we can find stability as well as fulfillment.

Whatever the individual, whatever the group, whatever the challenge
they present, leading them to seek a better way through the practice,
we can offer breath, dissolving of tension, ways to think about why/how
they just moved a certain way - ways to walk out and into a brighter day.
