which 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.

The Everything Space is a collaboratively run embodiment studio providing skillful and accessible somatic education, curated by Abbi Jaffe and Amanda Franz.

Opened in 2014, the space was built around the dream of co-creating a community space that centers the body’s intelligence as a liberatory, political act.  Since then, the community of support has grown to include Josie Green (Rental Coordinator, Service Provider), Mea Starr (Garden Project Co-Organizer), Sarai Hinkley (Service Provider), and Hazel Turrone (Flyering Extraordinaire, Facilitator), along with numerous facilitators who host their potent offerings here.  

We are dedicated embodiment activists, passionate about somatic education, social and environmental justice, community centered growth, large and small scale transformation and more.  

Our mission is bolded below, with descriptions following:

Our Mission:

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

The Everything Space, located on the unceded territory of the Abenaki Nation, in downtown Montpelier, is where folks from all walks of life come to learn and listen to the deep intelligence of their own bodies.  We are specifically dedicated to the education of diverse somatic practices as an integral part of social and environmental justice work. The offerings at The Everything Space are intentionally expansive to address our bodies as part of everything that we do and how we connect with the world around us.

The Everything Space has maintained itself through the generous donations of two private investors, a frugal budget, reciprocally supportive relationships, creative economy, and is very much a volunteer effort.

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

All of the classes and facilitators that teach here have different focuses and share a commitment to the studio's vision.  The facilitators all attend twice yearly in-house educational trainings on relevant topics such as being trauma/resilience informed, unpacking privilege & systemic oppression, and creating cultures & communities of support.  
 
We offer classes & workshops, organizational somatic consultation and implementation, private sessions, performances and creative space to create opportunities for people to listen deeply to the wisdom of the body, express grief and celebration, and rewild ourselves.
