“As people seek to regulate their nervous systems, reignite their creative spark, and find authentic human and cultural connection, I created the 2025 Soma + Terra Residency as an antidote to the speed and stress of modern life. Drawing on decades of multidisciplinary work designing spaces and leading retreats, I bring together somatic practice, wild nature, live music, dance, and immersive cultural exchange in one deeply nourishing experience.
My approach centers the body in deep reciprocity with the natural world—both as a source and an expression of creative intelligence and renewal. Through yoga, postmodern dance, somatic psychology, sound therapy, live music, and the creative process, I invite participants to slow down, replenish vitality, and restore a felt sense of belonging—vital resources in these uncertain times.”
— Micheline Pierrette Berry, Somatic Artist & Founder of Soma + Terra Residency
