TODAY 10/12, 6:30pm, PSH, Yarrow (white) building
The Somatics Lab with Little River Somatic Healing

The Somatic Lab returns 10/19 and 10/26!

We are living in a moment of intersecting crises. The future seems less clear, often less hopeful, than ever. And somehow we still have to figure out how to collaborate, parent, love, grieve, rest, fight, forgive, and grow.

As the world around us unravels, who do we choose to be?

Despite our beautiful visions and professed values, under pressure, our bodies take over and run the “software” we downloaded as children — individualism and perfectionism, seeking control and comfort, shaming ourselves and others. We slide into feeling powerless, alone, numbed out, or hypervigilant.

The Somatics Lab offers a space to practice being the person we want to become. In the spirit of a dojo, we practice letting go of our automatic behaviors and replacing them with new embodied choices. Through practice we build our capacities for being mature, loving, responsible humans.

Friday October 23rd SVA's Powerbuilding Team, PSH, and the NC Disaster Resilience and Recovery Network Present: "Theory of Change" Film Screening

Rural North Carolina isn't short on anger. It's short on trust. Theory of Change follows three working-class mothers as they build trust, organize their neighbors, and work together to create change in their communities.
Set in the aftermath of the 2024 election, the film follows Nicole, Dolly, and Shikara as they put a simple idea into practice: that people working together, year-round and across differences, can build power and make change happen.
Screening Details

Whether you're already involved in your community or simply curious about what's possible when neighbors come together, we'd love to have you there.
Theory of Change is screening in communities across North Carolina throughout 2026.
