Join us for Embodied Making, a 2.5 hour workshop at @headhi_ny offering a distinct fusion of the intuitive art of collage-making and somatic practices designed to cultivate creativity and self-awareness (of our whole and parts) through the body’s wisdom. Somatic’s an alternative to traditional therapy, emphasizes bottom-up, body-oriented approaches to treat trauma and modify stress responses while supporting alignment, integration, fullness, and consciousness-raising. Participants will explore carefully curated techniques, including mindful breathing, movement, body scans, resourcing, and visualization exercises, enabling a deeper connection with the environment, tools at hand, and the artistic collages created. Whether you're an experienced artist or designer or simply curious about the transformative potential of somatic practices and creativity, Embodied Making offers a holistic approach to self-expression and healing in a supportive and enriching environment. MORE INFORMATION + REGISTRATION DATE The Embodied Making workshop is being held on Sunday, September 8, 2024, from 1:00pm – 3:30pm. LOCATION @headhi_ny , 146 Flushing Ave (at the corner of Vanderbilt), Fort Greene, Brooklyn by the Navy Yard. EXCHANGE The registration fee for this workshop is $65 (link in bio), which includes all materials, a 2.5 hour led experience, and delicious coffee and tea. We look forward to collaborating!

CELEBRATING ONE YEAR OF MESSWORK AND MESSWORK PRACTICE BUILDING! Join us as we reflect on a year of transformation, growth, and mess-making. Over the past twelve months, we’ve done some challenging, deep, and meaningful work, excavating our individual and collective consciousness while moving towards more abundant and vibrant living through the catalyst of mess. HIGHLIGHTS FROM OUR FIRST YEAR Since August 2023, we’ve offered more than 320 sessions, including Personal Transformation, Practice Building, and Somatic Movement sessions. We’ve also hosted 14+ workshops, empowering over 70 clients to embrace and integrate their creativity, grit, and resilience in a movement towards authenticity. Our offerings, such as Embodied Making and Embodied Practice for Difficult Conversations, have supported individuals, groups, and even families in traversing the mess inherent to everyday living. STORIES OF TRANSFORMATION We’ve been terrifically privileged to witness remarkable transformations. Here are a few anonymous words from our spectacular clients: “Being in close proximity to Cri and witnessing her support and capacity to hold space in the practitioner role has been nothing short of transformational for me. My capacity, heart, relational skills, personal work, and acceptance and love for myself have evolved immeasurably in the presence and because of Cri.” “I am deeply touched by the details Cri’s feedback consists of, her ability to meet me where I’m at, the boundaries she examples, her experience and skill set, and the empowerment I’m left feeling in my relationship with her in all capacities.” “My fullness, mess, love, and all emotions have been encouraged, met, and held with the utmost love, respect, and curiosity by Cri. Words limit my ability to capture the tremendous impact Cri has in my life but it is felt on all levels of my being.” Continued in the next post 👉🏼 #celebrating #somaticpractice #process #personaltransformation #birthday #highlights #sessions #movement #workshops #testimonials #creative #growth #progress #resilience #messy #mess #messwork

Launching a private practice in the alternative health realm? Many of us graduate from institutes, certificate programs, and courses with the intention of setting up a private practice, yet very few are provided with the infrastructure, education, or resources to do so… While sales efforts around a product or service might work, Brand Marketing creates genuine, value-centered connections and emotional resonance with target audiences through narrative building… If you’re interested in delivering value while cultivating a sense of trust, loyalty, and community with your clientele and distinguishing your company from competitors, join us on August 9th - 11th in NYC for an in-person Practice-Building Branding Intensive and evolve your emerging or established practice with @messwork and @messworkpracticebuilding ! For curiosities and inquiries and to secure your spot, send a DM, email [email protected], or book a complimentary consultation (link in bio), to get a better sense of the offering! We’d love to create and collaborate with you! #practice #privatepractice #practicebuilding #venture #building #entrepreneurship #entrepreneur #brandmarketing #launch #alternativehealth #holistic

Hello, brilliant, creatives, practitioners, therapists, counselors, coaches and social workers! I’m thrilled to announce today’s launch of @messworkpracticebuilding , an extension of my own somatic practice @messwork and Communications Design practice @cristina_gabriele_studio . As we move and expand into the world with our offerings, innate gifts, and inherent capacities, sometimes we require support and buttressing, particularly around practice-building. What better than a robust and resilient community of peers in the complementary and alternative health industry (with foundations in design, communications, embodiment and systems), carving our independent version of the same path? Join our community and engage across various services ranging from 1-1 creative consultations to branding identity and world-building, from workshop series, access to resources, and, most importantly, a place to gather and connect as we realize our authentic ventures for impact. If you need support with practice-building, have reached a ceiling, are still determining where to turn, how to expand, or need help communicating your offering, send a DM or book a 30-minute complimentary consultation session (link in bio). Supporting and facilitating your nascent, established, and blooming ventures and adventures is not only fundamental to @messwork ’s vision and @messworkpracticebuilding ’s mission; it’s one of our greatest honours: supporting each other in our shared calling to support others. With terrific gratitude and excitement, I look forward to working together and nurturing your practice!
