Somatic trainings in Self Sovereignty that weave together three practices
As our nervous systems develop, so do the parts that protect us the wounds we couldn’t tend. Building a relationship with our protectors and exiles is the pathway to rewiring our nervous systems for building capacity and resilience.
A profound group process where people represent and embody anything you want to examine. Patterns passed down through generations become visible, and something that has been stuck can begin to move.
Turning toward the parts of ourselves we reject, hide, or judge in others becomes a source of energy, safety, and resilience. This is an inspiring and advanced practice that few every touch.
Meet Your Parts
Your hard-working protectors — as watercolor creatures. Which ones live in you?
Our free Self Sovereignty self-assessment is a quiet self-portrait of where you’re standing right now: in your body, with your parts, in your relationships, and with the truths that cost something to tell.
It takes about ten minutes and you’ll have a picture of your strengths and areas of growth.
This work is deep, profound, and intentionally slow. This is a sequential curriculum of shadow play. Each room we enter builds directly upon the skills mastered in the last, allowing you to safely test the waters at an entry level before advancing into deeper territory. There are three levels in the series, and the details are being finalized now, so stay tuned for our upcoming offerings!
Level 1
Shadow Costume Party
Come dressed up as a shadow you are ready to embody and listen to. Experience the capacity you have to meet yourself and hold all of you.
Level 2
BYO Safety
An experiential workshop where we step into the consciousness of sovereignty through group and dyad exercises. Learn to write judgements and embody the axioms.
Level 3
The Judgement Game
You’re ready to play the game! Let’s rumble. Get ready for four hours of depth, laughter, and revelation. Learn more about the game here.
I am a tranformational educator, facilitator, painter, innovator and community organizer dedicated to the architecture of human learning, integration, and self-sovereignty. Whether working with small groups navigating deep personal patterns or an organizational leadership team looking to optimize communication, my work provides structural, experiential frameworks that bridge advanced internal systems with practical, real-world application.
A testimonial actually worth reading
Karin creates an environment of allowance for whatever is arising in the moment. She has a beautiful capacity to hold another person’s experience with curiosity and compassion, gently illuminating processes that may not yet be visible while meeting resistance without trying to push past it. Through inquiry, somatic awareness, and nervous system regulation practices, she supports what is arising rather than imposing her own ideas about where the process should go.
During one experience together, Karin invited me to make a request of my partner, and my entire body contracted. I felt an immediate “NO.” Rather than encouraging me to push through it, she helped me explore that response at a pace my system could tolerate. I discovered a deeply held belief that if someone didn’t already anticipate and meet my needs, it was dangerous to ask, and that if I asked and the answer was no, it meant there was no room for me.
Through that experience, I began learning that I could name my needs, make requests, care for myself regardless of the response, and remain in connection. I no longer need another person to respond in a particular way in order for me to feel okay.
Karin’s work has helped me cultivate something deeper than regulation tools: a growing felt sense that I can remain connected to myself, care for myself, and experience safety even when the world around me does not unfold exactly as I would choose.
I would especially recommend Karin to people who understand their patterns intellectually but still find their bodies responding to uncertainty or vulnerability as though they are unsafe. Her work helps turn insight into a different felt experience.

Just Starting Out?
If you’re new here, begin with parts work. It teaches you to unblend from your wounded parts and lead from Self, building the internal safety and steadiness everything else rests on. Once you can bring that safety with you wherever you go, deeper shadow work is the natural next step: leaning toward your growing edges to reclaim the parts you’ve rejected as a source of resilience, courage, and freedom.
