Energetic & Somatic Fashion Styling Workshop

Join us in person for an immersive workshop exploring the connection between your style, your body, and your energy. Energetic & Somatic Fashion Styling Workshop An intimate gathering for women. What if getting dressed could change how you feel? What if your clothing wasn't just style — but a way to support your nervous system, your energy, and how you move through the world? This women-only workshop is an invitation into the subtle, often unspoken relationship between what you wear and how you experience yourself. Together, we'll explore clothing as a form of embodiment — tuning into how different colors, textures, and silhouettes impact your sense of safety, confidence, and expression. Through somatic awareness and gentle inquiry, you will be guided inward to explore why a piece called to you — what energy it holds, what it awakens in your body, and what it says about the part of you that chose it. Is it the color that holds space for your creativity? The silhouette that allows you to feel fluid and free? The texture that soothes your nervous system when the world feels like too much? This is the foundation of Energetic & Somatic Fashion Styling — the belief that what we wear is never just style. It is a nervous system experience. It is an act of self-expression. It is a language the body speaks before the mind catches up. This is not about trends or rules. It's about learning to listen. You'll leave with a deeper awareness of your body, a new relationship to your wardrobe, and a felt sense of how to dress in a way that supports the energy you want to embody — whether that's grounded, open, powerful, soft, or fully expressed. For the woman who senses there's more to style than what meets the eye — and is ready to explore the quiet power of what she wears. What to bring: Please bring a journal or notebook, a pen, and wear or bring a favorite outfit or meaningful piece of clothing, as it will be incorporated into a guided exercise during the workshop. Important Details: Please plan to arrive by 3:45 PM, as doors will close promptly at 4:00 PM to preserve the integrity of our shared, intimate space. If you are unexpectedly delayed, kindly email Faith at faith.mahastudio@gmail.com to inform her. About the Host: Faith Perrin is the founder of MAHA Studio, a Licensed Mental Health Therapist, and a somatic and energetic fashion stylist. With over six years of experience in trauma-informed care and meditation facilitation, she works at the intersection of nervous system regulation, embodiment, and personal style — bridging psychological depth with embodied practice and supporting women in cultivating clarity, coherence, and authentic self-expression. Her approach is rooted in a simple question: what shifts externally when we become internally aligned? Through her work, Faith invites a deeper relationship with self — where what you wear, how you feel, and how you show up begin to move in harmony. She helps women understand not just what they wear, but why — and what it reveals about who they are becoming. Learn more about MAHA Studio at mahastudio.co

GOURD WORKSHOP, mid-day

To attend and for exact location, Register [HERE](https://www.schoolofself-reliance.com/event/noon-gourd-workshop-30/) The location noted below may change, please register for exact location. August 20 @ 12:00 pm - 2:00 pm $30.00 – $45.00 mid-day GOURD WORKSHOP Thursday, August 20, noon. Here’s another ancient skill that you’ll enjoy learning. Botanists know that the “ornamental gourds” came out of Africa, and somehow made it to the American south, and spread to the Southwest. How they got to the Americas is a matter of debate — some say they simply floated, but it’s very likely that they simply came on one of the many boats from Africa that came to the Americas in the pre-Columbian era. You will get to choose a gourd, and learn all the steps necessary to clean, cut, sand, and create a funtional product. Each person will work on turning an ornamental gourd into a bowl for eating, or perhaps a canteen, ladle, or plate. There are several skill sets involved, and we’ll talk you through them so you’ll understand the mechanics of making a gourd that you’ll be happy to use. We’ll bring tools, but if you have a good knife, hacksaw, fine files, bring them! Not a highly-complicated craft, but requires patience. You will select a gourd that we bring, and clean it, decide where to cut it — no two gourds are alike — and then clean the inside and smooth the sharp edges. You’ll end up with a new skill and a bowl or dish that you can use right away. You’ll also get to take seeds home so you can grow your own if you have the space. *$45. [$30 for seniors/students] RSVP for this one so we bring enough gourds! Location given after you register.*

Lunchtime Clay Workshop

To attend and for exact location, register [HERE](https://www.schoolofself-reliance.com/event/lunchtime-clay-workshop/) August 27, Noon CLAY is everywhere! Really. Clay is in the soil, and in some places, you can find a high percentage of quality clay. Look at the abundance of pots and bowls and dishes that the indigenous peoples of the American Southwest have produced. It’s amazing. At this class, you will work with raw natural clay dug from the local hills. Once you collect the clay, you test it to determine how pure it is. Sometimes you add temper, sometimes not. Next, you do some sort of processing, and then set about making a useful product. You will learn the ways to process clay, and we will be doing one of those methods. You will process clay, and attempt to make a useful item from the clay. (We won’t do any firing.) You will take home whatever you make. A great opportunity to get outdoors and learn another survival skills August 27 @ 12:00 pm - 2:00 pm $30.00 – $45.00
