ECOSOMATICA:
Integrative Repatterning Technologies
WHAT IS REPATTERNING?
A creative approach to healing that honors all levels of 'body': somatic,
social and planetary, Ecosomatica's repatterning philosophy integrates
the arts and sciences into a powerful technology for transformation.
A key aspect of this work is reconnection with the innate intelligence
of natural systems through our own sensory experience. As we become gently
aware of our own habits in movement, and their connections to pain and
tension, we begin to unwind and reestablish healthier patterns.
WHY REPATTERNING?
Bodywork systems such as shiatsu, acupuncture and many others are wonderful
to help loosen blockages and "stuck" energy, however, if we
are not concurrently working to change underlying movement habits, pain
and tension can become chronic. Repatterning work empowers us to ensure
that the changes we make are lasting, and that we do not return to the
"stuck" place.
Using a multidisciplinary approach that is both playful and meditative,
we develop our imaginal capacity to rewire neurological connections, creating
new effortless patterns for stability, strength, and flexibility. Such
repatterning applies to our individual movement, as well as to groups
and larger social "movements."

WHO BENEFITS FROM THIS WORK?:
Ecosomatica embodiment technologies are appropriate for anyone
seeking sustainable methods of self-care, improved 'range-of-motion' in
personal and community life, and greater sense of flow, freedom and ease.
Nala Walla offers sessions for both individuals and groups.
Individual Sessions: People who feel they have gone as
far as they can go with traditional "talk" therapies, or who
have been stymied by traditional dance and theater training, may find
our wholisitic movement approach helps them to break through habits, discomfort,
and creative blockages. Our focus upon developing our clients' self-reliance
and trust in their own creative resources also helps to balance out highly-
structured training and techniques. Ecosomatica is a wonderful
complement to other health care regimens such as counseling, massage,
acupuncture, reiki, nutritional therapy.
Examples of clients include: therapists, artists, farmers, landscapers,
educators and just about anyone seeking to get in deeper touch with their
own creativity and optimal health.
Group Sessions: Groups seeking a harmonious and creative
atmosphere for collaboration and learning benefit greatly from Ecosomatica's
integrative and participatory approach.
Examples of clients include: schools and universities, business
and corporate groups, ecovillages and cohousing communities, sustainability
and permaculture education programs.
