This Saturday, 2/14/2026 Helen Terry provides 60 minute 5 Soma Stages experience with the focus “The EveryMan”
An Embodied Movement Meditation experience Through 5 Somatic stages of Development
5 Somatic Stages of Development: Embryonic • Creeping • Crawling • Crouching • Walking
Archetypal Essence:
Human • Relational • Grounded • Real • Belonging
Meet Your Inner Everyman:
What does to truly belong feel like? not because of what we achieve, but simply because we are human?
In this guided Soma Faith movement experience, we explore the archetype of Everyman, the part of us that knows we are not separate from life, but deeply connected to the shared story of humanity.
Through a gentle, body-based journey across the five developmental stages of movement (embryonic, creeping, crawling, standing, and walking) participants are guided into an embodied experience of belonging. Not as an idea, but as something felt in the muscles, breath, and rhythm of the body.
This practice invites you to:
Rest in the truth that you already belong
Reconnect with shared humanity through movement
Experience dignity without striving or comparison
Walk forward grounded in humility and connection
Rooted in interfaith contemplative practice and developmental embodiment, this session offers a spacious, compassionate environment where participants move slowly, listen deeply, and rediscover the sacred ordinariness of being human.
This is not about becoming exceptional.
It is about remembering you are part of something shared.
Come as you are.
Move as you are able.
Leave with a deeper sense of connection: to yourself, to others, and to the living world around you.
“I am the voice of Everyman.
I am the part of you that belongs to the human family.
I remind you that you are not separate from life around you.
I do not measure your worth by achievement or status.
I know your worth because you are human.
I live in your shared breath… your shared struggles… your shared hopes.
I help you walk beside others with humility and dignity.
I help you see yourself in the faces of those around you.
When you feel isolated, I remind you of connection.
When you feel superior or inferior, I return you to equality.
I am the ground of belonging beneath your life.
I am the simple truth of shared humanity.
I am the voice that says:
You are one of us.
You are one among many.
You belong here.”
Opening Orientation
Everyman is the part of us that knows we are not separate.
Not above. Not below. Not alone.
Everyman is ordinary in the most sacred sense of the word.
Human. Relational. Grounded. Real.
This voice reminds us:
You belong to the earth.
You belong among people.
You belong in the shared story of humanity.
Everyman does not strive to be exceptional.
Everyman seeks connection.
This coming week we invite you to playfully bring your “Inner EveryMan” into your awareness both in classes and life.
