Do you...

  • catch a glimpse of yourself in the mirror, do a double take, and feel disconnected from the reflection you see, wondering if you woke up in an alternate timeline?
  • find yourself shrinking away from connection with others out of fear of being too much or not enough, leaving you feeling isolated and unsure of how you're seen or what real relationship feels like?
  • feel disconnected from your body and like you are tired of molding it to fit someone else's expectations and standards, leaving you feeling like you are in a never-ending loop between being at war with your body and being at war with the world?
  • get the sense that no amount of talking it out could change what you're feeling--because you've TRIED, the story may change, but what is actually possible for you doesn't?

It's time to come home to your body and to your aliveness so you can make moves towards what matters most to you 

and you don't have to do it alone

Imagine

  • Someone misgenders you and instead of the belly knots and clenched fists you used to feel, you are able to confidently invite them into the fullness of who you are, feeling relaxed and wide 
  • Having a community of collaborators and co-conspirators at your back, all supported by a commitment to embodied practice that makes room for both love and rigor
  • Feeling anxious or stressed, and easily returning to your body, knowing that it is the place of your agency and your power 
  • Knowing the exact moves you can make to live the life you want, make the impacts you want to make in the world, and live a self-generated life

What would be possible if you chose to live by your own set of rules, or better yet, abandon the rules altogether, letting your body lead and guide?

Everything.

Bodies That Matter is an ongoing virtual somatic practice space that began in Fall of 2020. It is your community of embodied learning and practice that allows for your self-authorship, your dignity, and for a deep sense of intimacy and connection to be felt and known

We know that our bodies never quite comply with the way that we are compelled to be or to act. This reality is not only accepted, but celebrated inside of Bodies that Matter. This is where you'll find fellow gender outlaws, awake to the life of our bodies, and ready to fearlessly (and tenderly) find our way towards our freedom.

You'll learn the embodied skills that allow you to feel your dignity under pressure, to return to yourself and community, to feel choice where you once felt stuck, and to take action towards what you care about. All of this inside of a container of support and mutual accountability. We truly care for each other and want each of us to make good on our longings and commitments. 

In Bodies That Matter, we believe that our bodies are the source of our magic, our power, our resilience, and our capacity. We know that this magic needs edges for it to flourish. Our container of practice supports our transformation towards more choice and more aliveness. We hold each other with both the love and the rigor that is needed for lasting change to occur.

What's Included in My Membership?

Picture

The Bodies That Matter Embodied Somatic Transformation Framework

We believe that transformation occurs through the life of our bodies. To engage in somatic practice means that we feel into the ways that our broader world has shaped us either towards or away from safety, dignity, and belonging and choose to practice towards embodying our values. We practice towards and build towards the lives we want to live being made material or mattering. Every participant is supported and coached through developing a unique plan that will allow you to make good on your longings. ​

Live Practice Sessions

​Our live somatic practice sessions occur most weeks on Thursdays from 6-8 PM PST. We hold the commitment to practice in community towards our longings, knowing that our depth and competency  is measurable only inside of connection. Live practice sessions include opening and centering, practices for embodied connection, a topical lesson, specific somatic practices related to the lessons and themes we are working through as a group.
Picture

Community of Practice 

The community we create together is the ground for our transformation. We show up to weekly practice, create structures of accountability by engaging with our practice buddies, support each other in our Slack community, and of course make room for lots of laughs and memes.
Picture

Practice Videos and Resources

A growing library of somatic practice videos and resources is available to support you in your practice. These videos and resources are available to support your practice outside of our regular sessions. These videos and resources provide additional context and guidance as you navigate your path of transformation. ​

What Folks Are Saying

Bodies That Matter has helped me move towards and through some of the most important and vulnerable times in my life, including gender affirming surgery and impactful organizing in my community.  It's so liberating to practice feeling my body's longings and dignity in this all trans and nonbinary space."
​-JC (they/them)
 BTM has allowed me to more fully embrace my body and connect with myself more holistically. Before joining, I struggled to be with my body and it's many sensations, and now I’m building a great foundation of authenticity and embodiment of my values."
​- JS (they/them)

Meet your facilitator

Picture
B. Stepp (they/them) believes in the undeniable power of our bodies to produce the conditions for transformation and liberation. 

B is a somatic practitioner, facilitator, teacher, and community organizer living on unceded Duwamish/Coast Salish land/so-called Seattle, WA. Inside of all of their work, B invites us to dream beyond binaries of all kinds, and towards our biggest and most alive visions for liberation. B holds that how free each of us is able to get is deeply tied to how free all of us are and that we must always hold individual and collective change as deeply interconnected.

B’s healing lineage includes 12 years of ongoing training with generative somatics, an active vipassana meditation practice, participation in Black liberation movements in the U.S. and around the world, movements committed to abolition and transformative justice,  tenant organizing, anti-imperialist struggle,
western psychotherapy and nutrition, and their many lived experiences (and those of their working class ancestors) as a Black and white mixed race, queer, nonbinary person.

In the lineage of  Toni Cade Bambara, they are committed to making liberation and the path to revolution irresistible.


When B isn't working, they are going to punk shows, dancing in their living room, connecting with their community, hanging out with their 3 perfect and amazing cats, reading lots of good theory, training in martial arts, and going for walks through their neighborhood.

When I first started BTM I was a floating head with a body attached, but now I’m able to listen to and consult with the body I so forcefully avoided. I’ve replaced shame with curiosity and trust." - MC (he/him)
