Christa Winkels
FACILITATOR
Christa (she/her) grew up on unceded Boonwurrung Country and is a practicing art therapist/ psychotherapist and student of yoga, living and working on sacred Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung Country.
Christa is drawn to a range of somatic and movement practices, and enjoys exploring and co-creating spaces to experience curiosity, play, respect, reciprocity, warmth, and connection.
Christa is particularly interested in how our bodies hold innate wisdom to guide and support us into a mutual sense of becoming and belonging. Her somatic and movement practices are relationally driven and draw on neurobiological understandings of trauma, attachment theory, and honouring lived expertise and experience. Through her practice, Christa holds a commitment toward systemic and social justice, decolonisation, and collective care.
Being part of the collective being team aligns with Christa's passion to offer accessible, welcoming, and safe(r) spaces to explore and be with our bodies, our communities, and our social and environmental contexts.
