Welcome to The Everything Space!

A somatic education and therapy studio
​weaving personal growth and dynamic social change.

​
The Everything Space is located at the confluence
of the North Branch and Winooski Rivers on unceded Abenaki territory
​ in downtown Montpelier Vermont.  

The Everything Space is curated by Abbi Jaffe and Amanda Franz 
and has been providing skillful and accessible
somatic therapy, bodywork, conflict mediation, and facilitation since 2014.  

​We believe that a connection to the body and to the earth's intelligence
​is an integral part of social and environmental justice.

We look forward to seeing you
​in the studio, in the garden, or at your organization. ​

OUR WORK

We are committed to unleashing the body’s intelligence
​to co-create a more resilient world.  

We acknowledge the global implications of climate crisis, collective trauma,
unexamined  privilege and embedded systems of oppression
and we aim to unite personal growth and dynamic social change
in every offering at The Everything Space.    

We offer services to individuals, professionals and organizations. 

We create opportunities to listen deeply to the wisdom of the body,
express grief and celebration, and rewild ourselves
for the purpose of inhabiting and supporting more resilient communities.    

​We are in this, with you, as humans, together.

WHY SOMATICS?

"Awareness offers choice.  Practice builds capacity." - Amanda Blake

Somatics is a change methodology that invites presence and repatterning into how we show up for ourselves, for each other, for our work and for the world we are dreaming into being.  

Somatics: a transformative framework that highlights the lived/felt/interior experience as a body. (ie. connection of bodymind) as necessary information/ biofeedback needed to be present and responsive to life, with which allows for more nervous system regulation, relational capacity, and whole systems change.  

Embodiment:  the act of listening to the body’s senses and responding to the body’s cues for movement and response, as well as cultivating an awareness of and connection to one’s self, others, and the environment.

Somatic Embodiment Practices: practices that bring awareness to what's happening in our body, nervous system and relational dynamics, while offering opportunities to repattern and transform that which is no longer aligned or serving our intentions, literally reshaping the body.

"I have been to a couple events here, done a private session and have done a Contact Improv Dance 8 Week Series with Amanda. Every gathering, every class exceeded my expectations.
This place and community has helped me remember what it means to feel at home in my body and in myself. " - Bill St.Cyr
