Creative Intimacy & Embodied Mentorship

Embodied Belonging

Deepen your artistry, expand your capacity for conscious collaboration, and embody creative presence. Attune to the life force energy moving through you and your creative work.

Dear Artist,

Welcome to Embodied Belonging - a six-month mentorship designed to support you in deepening your creative practice, your relationships, and your embodied sense of self.

This is an offering for artists and creatives who are ready to step beyond performance and into presence - where your heart softens, your mind expands, and your body’s wisdom leads the way.

Together, we will cultivate a space that honors both the depth of your inner experience and the relational dynamics that shape your artistry.

Our work will offer you:

  • A somatic approach to creative intimacy and collaboration.

  • Constructive reflections & accountability to support your evolving artistry.

  • A space to feel deeply, express fully, and create from a place of inner attunement.

This mentorship is for the artist who is ready to:

✨ Experience more authentic connection with themselves and others.

✨ Develop a soul-secure sense of creative and relational honesty.

✨ Integrate insights, tools, and embodied practices into their daily life and artistry.

If this resonates with you, I invite you to step into this six-month container of care, consideration, and creative expansion.

Let’s begin.

With appreciation,

Marissa

What This Mentorship Offers

A Six-Month Container for Creative & Somatic Deepening

Embodied Belonging is a six-month, high-touch mentorship for artists and creatives seeking a more soul-secure, relational, and embodied way of creating.

Here’s what this six-month mentorship offers:

🌊 Flexible weekly 1:1 Sessions

(30-60 min, participant’s choice)

  • Choose between shorter integration-based calls (30 min) or deeper, process-based sessions (60 min) - held over Zoom or phone, depending on what feels best each week.

  • Held over Zoom or phone, based on what feels best each week.

  • Space for body-based reflection, creative attunement, and nervous system integration.

🌊 Monthly Creative Praxis Sessions

(3 hours total)

  • One 3-hour session per month (or two 1.5 hour sessions), offering immersive, process-based support tailored to your artistic exploration.

  • These sessions are designed for creative inquiry, dramaturgical support, and embodied integration - whether that means being in a rehearsal space with you, witnessing your process, helping you sort through ideas, or being present with you as you research, experiment, and apply your work in real time.

  • If in LA, this can be in-person at the artist’s chosen studio, or creative space. (If a rehearsal space rental is needed, the artist is responsible for securing the location and covering renal fees.)

  • If remote, these sessions focus on embodied practice, co-creation, or parallel creative immersion over Zoom.

  • These sessions focus on deepening creative alignment - not critique - bridging your inner experience with external expression.

🌊 Light-Touch Email & Messaging Support

(between sessions, for integration & reflections)

  • Brief check-ins, integration questions, or small touchpoints available via WhatsApp or email.

  • Not for deep process work between sessions - these messages are for gentle reflections, swift clarifications, and short attunements.

  • Touching base on what’s emerging: If something comes up during the week that you’d like to bring into session, this space allows you to note themes, insights, or questions so we can explore them together when we meet.

  • Response time: Replies vary, usually within 48 hours on weekdays.

🌊 Personalized Client Portal for Reflection & Integration

  • You’ll have access to a shared Google Drive portal to store insights, reflections, and materials related to our work.

  • This space is for your personal process - a place to track shifts, hold creative notes, and deepen your engagement with the mentorship.

  • Optional fillable reflection prompts can be made available to help orient you within your process.

📌 This is for you if you’re ready to:

✨ Create from a place of presence rather than performance.

✨ Expand your capacity for intimacy, collaboration, and creative flow.

✨ Integrate embodiment practices into your artistry & daily life.

✨ Cultivate a deeper sense of trust in yourself & your creative process.

The Embodied Approach

A Process Rooted in Presence & Deep Listening

This mentorship is not about fixing, forcing, or rushing transformation. It is about learning to attune to yourself, your artistry, and your relational landscape with greater honesty, clarity, and care.

Here’s how we approach this work together:

🌊 Somatic Integration: We begin with the body - building awareness of creative rhythms, nervous system patterns, and embodied wisdom.

🌊 Relational Attunement: We explore how your creative and relational patterns intersect - deepening your abililty to co-create with presence and clarity.

🌊 Creative Praxis: We work with artistic practices that help you integrate your insights into real-world action and artistic expression.

🌊 Creative Inquiry & Attuned Reflection: Our work is not about critique but about deep listening to what is emerging in your creative process. You will receive somatic, relational, and dramaturgical support to help you recognize where your inner experience is (or isn’t) being reflected in your work. Our time together offers a space for inquiry, refinement, and attuned witnessing, ensuring that your creative process remains aligned, embodied, and alive.

🐚 This mentorship is deeply personal, relational, and experiential. It is designed for artists who are ready to engage with their work and relationships in a way that is fully embodied, creatively rich, and soul-secure.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Each session is uniquely attuned to your creative process, relational landscape, and embodied experience.

    Our sessions are a blend of presence, reflection, and practice. We will work with your creative rhythms, relational patterns, and somatic cues to guide you toward greater artistic and personal alignment. Some sessions may be more conversational and reflective, while others may include guided practices, movement, or structured creative inquiry.

    Sessions are held weekly (30-60 min, your choice) via Zoom or phone, and once a month, we engage in a 3-hour Creative Praxis Session (or two 1.5 hour sessions) for deeper process work. These are immersive, hands-on spaces for creative inquiry, dramaturgical support, and embodied integration.

  • This mentorship is for anyone who feels called to deepen their creative practice, relational attunement, and embodied self-expression. Some mentees are professional performers, dancers, or directors, while others are creatives exploring their voice in more intimate ways.

    If you are interested in:

    • Bringing more creative honesty & embodiment to your work,

    • Exploring new creative pathways without performance pressure,

    • Developing deeper relational & somatic awareness,

    then this mentorship is for you - no specific career stage or professional intentions required.

  • Somatic work is about engaging with the wisdom of the body as a source of creative, emotional, and relational intelligence.

    Somatic practices help you move from “thinking” into sensing, feeling, and experiencing.

    Rather than analyzing your creative process from the outside, we work with your body’s natural rhythms, cues, and wisdom to deepen your artistry and alignment. Somatic integration in this mentorship may include:

    • Nervous system awareness & regulation (working with your body’s creative cycles).

    • Movement-based or expressive practices (to bypass creative blocks & access deeper flow).

    • Relational attunment (understanding how your creative & interpersonal patterns intersect.)

    This work is gentle bu deeply transformative - it’s about attuning to your creative energy from the inside out.

  • This is a high-touch, six-month mentorship designed for deep creative, relational, and somatic exploration.
