Stellar Village

Alyx Somas is a 2S Native Northern American sharing indigenous lineage teachings to help humanity re-member our sacred nature of deep beauty and collaboration. Their work, The Collectivity Project, is an indigenous response to the pain of our world—to empire, ecocide, genocide, and separation—anchored in the truth that we all come from ancient people who gathered around fires storytelling, dancing, and grieving together in medicinal ways.

Personally healing multiple chronic illnesses, their work is rooted in holistic nervous system care and trauma-informed somatic practice that revitalizes pan-indigenous life-ways, restores relations to our lineages and to the land, and tends to the generational wounding of colonialism. De-individualizing all that is truly systemic, they strengthen the capacity for collective liberation through catalyzing our shared grief into sustainable action and empowering with practical tools for healing and belonging-based justice. All of their work holds heart in the belief in all people's wise ancestry, innate ability to heal, and inherent worth.

On a journey of Initiation to be a Good Elder, they carry a prayer of regenerative culture shifting, enlivening this new era of multi-cultural weaving that calls for the healing of our shared history, the reimagining of our village interdependence, and the remembering our ancestral ways of reverence for all that lives.

Trained in group facilitation and somatic healing, they hold community circles, ceremonies, and workshops, consultations for organizations, and personal rituals and mentorships in Ancestral Reclamation, Collective Liberation Practices, Decolonial Leadership and Relationships Life-ways, Grief and Initiatory Rites, and Spirit Healings. This work is a prayer for the world coming, where we gather over the flames that birth remembrance from the ashes of collapse, united in our Praise and Grief.

Sabrina is a world traveler, singer, and a Creatrix and contributor towards a new embodied culture. She uses embodiment practices, ritual, song, yoga, breathwork and Thai yoga massage in a beautifully woven form of facilitating emotional release. She values the processes of emotional release through cathartic expressions along with bringing support and safety to the nervous system.

Sabrina was initiated into her grief work by the loss of her son, Jude, during preterm labor in 2022. Since then, she has made her grief her ally and greatest teacher. She aims to bring the conscious tending of grief to her communities and especially to underserved populations.

Sabrina has completed 700 hours of Yoga Teacher Training through School Yoga Institute and the Paramanand Institute of Yoga Sciences and Research; she learned Thai Yoga Massage through Hadadi Thai Massage in Lisbon, Portugal; she studied sacred space holding through the Kula Collective in Guatemala; she is currently completing a year-long Grief Facilitation Training with Through The Dark Woods based in B.C. and she has learned to use her gift of song through many ceremonies over the world.

For those based in Eugene OR, you can reach out to her for more information about her Thai Yoga Massage sessions at [email protected].

I'm a collaborative dog trainer, author, international presenter, singer-songwriter, and keynote speaker of European ancestry (best guess based on DNA and some genealogy is Scotland, "England & Northwestern Europe," Wales, "Germanic Europe," Ireland, and Norway). I've been helping people and dogs professionally since 2003. My passion projects are community weaving, grief tending, community singing, and woodturning.

I'm fascinated by animal behavior (including humans), somatic awareness, spirituality, psychology. My work is directed at wholehearted living for all beings, including dogs with a history of aggression, frustration, or fear as well as empowerment and trauma prevention inpuppies and my other favorite species: humans.

My Behavior Adjustment Training (BAT 2.0 book and BAT 3.0) is used worldwide to help dogs gain confidence and social skills. Well over 200,000 people have learned about BAT so far.

As an outgoing introvert, I refresh my batteries by singing, expressing grief in community, and savoring life with my husband (Tom), Labrador (Joey), cat (Garbanzo aka "Adventure Kitty" and "Baby Panther"), and Little Brown Dog (Zuki). I identify as a queer (pansexual), neurodiverse, middle age, white, raised in poverty and now of middle class, and US citizen, spiritual non-Christian leaning toward neo-Druid (but raised in Christian culture). My pronouns are she/her. I am working to live in reciprocity on the stolen river watershed of the Siuslaw people, who are part of the CTCLUSI.
