Soul Studio Batavia

Feedback wanted!!
Starting Soul Studio has brought out many old inhibitions and fears. I feel like I’m wobbling around on baby giraffe legs, but maybe that’s kinda the point…

I mean, who amongst us is standing on the solid ground of peace and clarity right now???

Soul Studio is building upon the supportive Torus space (that still has fantastic yoga classes) and wants to grow into a place where we’re all allowed to try things out—where curiosity leads, and imperfection is welcome.

We’re gonna
Grapple
Ground
Sleep better
Dance
Sing
Figure out how to talk to our teenagers about s*x, learn what stuff like Qi Gong and alchemy are…talk to us.

Tell us what you are interested in right now??

Playing with a mash-up logo… It's a work in progress. (Aren't we all??)

You can still count on Torus Center for Integrative Healing and Jamie Kruse to oversee a place that our community can count on for unconditional support.

Soul Studio is balancing its deep respect for what Jamie and the wonderful teachers have created there

WHILE getting permission to bust out and try some risky new things.

From line dancing and karaoke to grappling with guilt and shame.
YES…one sandbox for all of it. Stay tuned to hear about our new events in the space.

Soul Studio will be an ongoing creative process. We want you to contribute too.
So let us know what you want to learn about and explore.
Stay tuned as we shove some ideas out of the nest.

Tried to let flared up, long-held tension in my jaw lead me to the trouble.

We ended up at a funeral service for innocence.

I know! It's getting wackier and wackier. At least this junk is being released out of my body

It's actually based on Somatic Experiencing that I stumbled upon before there were any therapists who did it. Now you can find them.

Meet one of tomorrow’s panelists, Jamie Kruse from Torus Center for Integrative Healing.

The “integrative” part that makes her healing technique unique is that she acknowledges that everyone embarks on their healing journey from different entry points. Some find solace in therapy, others in bodywork, and some in spiritual practices.

She sees each person as a whole—and she’ll bring that to the table at Thick Skin - Open Ears: a community panel discussion

4 local experts going to blow this topic wide open!
