Your healing and impact begins at the intersection of embodiment, climate, and justice.
Body-centered practices, education, and workshops for changemakers and purpose-led organizations
01.
When you embody the self you need, you create the world you want.
Choosing to fully feel and engage with life is a courageous act in a world that encourages separation. By exploring our internal feeling states through movement, voice, and touch, we tap into a deep wisdom that inspires harmony with ourselves, each other, and the natural world. Our feelings guide us, showing us what we’re willing to stand for, what really matters, and how we build meaningful community. Like returning home after a long time away, intentional practice reconnects us with our inner compass, guiding us back to ourselves.
As organizer Mariame Kaba reminds us, “We are deeply entangled in the very systems we are organizing to change.” Somatics invites us to become aware of default habits so that we can create new ways of being aligned with our values. When we understand somatically how we’ve learned something, we’ve also gained the power to unlearn it. This level of attention opens the door to a world of possibilities. Care Wildly Somatics focuses on reclaiming the relationship to our bodies that systems of oppression have severed and rejects the idea of “normal” or “fixed”, while centering accessibility, freedom, and dignity.
We are what we practice, and we are always practicing something.

Coaching, education, and workshops for bold individuals, organizations, and mutual-aid networks.
-
One-on-one personalized sessions are a slow journey into the living knowledge of your body, or soma, and an invitation to identify patterns in order to orient towards what’s working well and transform what isn’t. Somatic practices and embodied transformation are useful for helping bring your whole, unique self to the world, moving through a challenge, and embodying a powerful vision for the future.

After working, studying, and thinking at the intersection of climate, psychology, and social justice for 10+ years, I have built a wealth of knowledge that I love sharing! I use storytelling, data, and lived experience to engage participants.
Topics I’m prepared to speak about:
The power of somatics for climate resilience
Limitations of western psychology
Preventing and healing burnout
Climate grief & distress
And so much more! If you want to explore these or any other themes I could speak about, let’s chat.
-
Through exploring themes of interdependence, mutual care, climate mental health, capacity building, generative conflict, and so much more, workshops will provide a supportive container for participants to integrate new skills + tools that support their goals and process.

Hi there! I’m Selin.
Educator, writer, and practitioner of somatics.
I’m so glad you’re here. I believe that healing is both a right and a possibility for everyone. Grounded in a liberatory, multi-disciplinary approach, my work focuses on reimagining and reshaping the path to belonging, action, and planetary health — through the wisdom of the body.
Care Wildly Somatics exists to uncover the interconnectedness of the individual, collective, and ecological, seeking to apply these insights to movements for climate and social justice that disrupt cycles of isolation and trauma.
If you’re striving to sustain radical hope, imagination, and engagement for this world as you work to transform it, join me.

Pour into yourself so you can pour into the world.
Let’s practice. Notice what happens when you read that.
Where do you feel it in your body? Do you want to hurry up and scroll? Or read the text again? What about a change in temperature? Or a shift in pressure in your shoulders or belly? How’s your breathing? Notice yourself responding to it, give it space to speak.
As people who care, we see and feel the harm caused by dominant systems of power and we seek to transform them. However, as we do this work, we don’t exactly remain untouched. Over time, the impact of activism and confronting oppression takes it’s toll on the body, spirit, and quality of relationship.
We can even convince ourselves that we are undeserving of rest and joy. These destructive narratives undercut our true nature: whole, brilliant, deserving, and powerful. When we position ourselves to thrive, we show up to the world less reactive and ready to engage with complexity and difficult emotions.
It’s time to restore your aliveness as you make your impact.
Our bodies are our birthright, something we all have. Yet, many of us need help to reconnect with them as partners, teachers, and truth-tellers. By re-establishing this connection, we gain the internal resources available to begin nurturing practices that foster authentic and accountable relationships, courage, and liberation inside and out.
“How can we begin to move towards ecological and cultural sustainability if we cannot imagine what the path feels like?
