Sōma Maṇdala is a community practice space initiated by Zensei & Yogaśāla with a focus on sharing knowledge, insights, and practices for trauma healing through Somatic Experiencing method and Yogic wisdom practices.

​

Each month, we will offer one free and one paid online group Somatic Experiencing session on a specific theme or topic relating to trauma and healing. The free session will be anchored by Hariprasad Varma. For the paid session, Hari will be joined by a co-facilitator from the international Somatic Experiencing Practitioner community.

​

By being part of the Sōma Maṇdala community, you will get an opportunity to:

• Learn the fundamentals of trauma and healing.
• Discover personal insights into your own health and relational patterns.
• Learn simple practices that can be applied to daily life scenarios that hold potential for creating and sustain trauma responses.

​
