Welcome to Weaver + Rose
"Somatics" is noticing and encouraging the understanding of how we are in relationship to all things. When we think about the body somatically, we're engaging with the physical body, the emotional body, the communal body, the ancestral body, and the land and earth as a body. We’re noticing the body in relationship.
We experience these relationships through the body. The land we live in inextricably informs, impacts, and provides the foundation for these relationships.
This is an expansive and depth oriented way to approach somatic work. One that lends itself to ecological awareness and ancestral work seamlessly. It's with the same subtle sense that we access all of these realms.
Hi! I'm Stevie J. Guiol.
the body in relationship
I’m a Hakomi mindful somatics practitioner, cultural worker, and land-based teacher whose work centers around building belonging with land and place while critically engaging with the problems of ongoing settler colonialism and climate crisis. In my work I aim to center land as a sentient being and engage in deep listening and action towards ecological restoration and Indigenous sovereignty with the desires of the Earth. In support of these efforts I am the co-founder of Embodied Ancestral Inquiry, a somatics practitioner training for white Euro-descended body-based practitioners working towards a de-assimilation from whiteness through politicized somatic practice, reconnection with the more-than-human world, and reclamation of the precolonial Earth-based lifeways of their ancestors. I am also committed to local ecological restoration, particularly through the Deschutes Estuary Restoration Team (DERT) which has successfully advocated for the removal of the 5th Ave dam in Olympia, WA. This will be the largest urban dam removal project in the country when restoration begins in 2027
I’m also a doctoral student at Pacific Graduate University in the Depth Psychology with specialization in Community, Liberation, Indigenous, and Eco-Psychologies program.
At this point, I only work with a handful of folks privately through one-on-one containers including Somatic Counseling and Embodied Ancestral Inquiry. My books are currently full and I am not taking on new clients. The best way to keep up with my work is through my newsletter or through my writing on Substack, The Becoming.
