Asheville Somatic Knowing | Embodying Consciousness

Step into an exiting transformative practice!

We all have the ability to recognize and share the feelings of another person, commonly referred to as empathy. Utilizing a method called ‘Walking In Your Shoes®’ (WIYS), we will explore empathy beyond our usual experience of it. What is it like putting yourself into someone else’s shoes? See how it feels when you embody another consciousness or are in resonance with another being.

Together we will create a safe container where we can be each other: be seen, be vulnerable - without judgments or interpretations. We then ‘work’ with what’s arising in the very moment.

Join us to explore and cultivate empathy, to connect more authentically with others, and to experience a different kind of knowing. This is an opportunity for diving deeply into the vastness of human experience.

If you could walk in my shoes,
You would see, I paid my dues,
I worked hard my whole life through,
Even though, I no longer do.
You would see how hard I tried.
You would see how hard I cried.
Can’t you see my condition is real,
Even though you can’t see what I feel.

Join us for an opportunity to give of your gifts along with a group to another, and then receive the menagerie offered you! Practice asking for what you want and need and trusting that the collective efforts will heal/launch you into an never-before-felt-experience of group focus…on loving YOU!

Keren, Healer & The Proprietor of The Well offers a description:

"From the time I moved to Asheville in 2018, I have wanted participate in some kind of regular healing circle. Somehow I never found the right people for this…until meeting Randi and Wolfgang!

While they have been building their collective for some time, last month was the first one that we hosted at our place, The Well. It was easily one of my favorite events that has happened here, and felt like one of the most powerful (which is saying a lot.) Randi and Wolfgang are both gifted healers, and also do much to facilitate a circle that brings out everyone’s innate healing gifts. I love that there are so many paths to healing represented in the circle—energy work, therapeutic touch, music and sound, song, light language, crystals, oracle decks, anointing oils, channeling…pretty much anything well intentioned that you want to bring to the table is welcome and it’s a safe place to really go out there in a way that is not always easy if you are used to working with clients who have expectations for their sessions ("I just want a good deep tissue massage, nothing woo woo.”)

It was fascinating how easily and wordlessly the energy flowed where it needed to go. When I was receiving healing, I had a deep knot around my left ovary that has been there for years release in a dramatic way and a month later it still is healed.

If you have a desire to heal others but lack the experience or credentials to feel confident in calling yourself a “healer,” you will amaze yourself at what you are capable of and how great it feels.

If you are a burnt out healer, you will walk away inspired.

If you love working with others but want to push your capabilities, this is your opportunity to reach for the stars…

If you are in need of healing on any level, this is for you—come out and be open to the miraculous!"

Our event has been described by our community member Lauren as “Wow! Experimental play, multi-sensory, multidimensional, intuitive energy, and sound magic healing.”
