Shannon Powell
FACILITATOR
Shannon (she/they) is a writer, artist, yoga teacher and somatic therapist in training. They are of Irish and French settler descent and currently live and work on sovereign Kulin nation lands (Melbourne, Australia). They believe embodiment is a human right and their practice is person-centred and grounded in creativity, care and liberation.
Shannon is the founder and director of retreat and wellbeing organisation Small Beyond and has trained in dance, creative writing, yoga, massage, trauma informed facilitation and somatic therapy. Alongside their art practice, Shannon also works for a non-profit, trauma informed organisation called Collective Being whose aim is to provide free wellbeing practices to communities who don’t have access to mainstream resources and services.
Shannon is interested in how creative and embodied practices can support our values and actions becoming aligned, building our ability to live from a place of empathy, purpose, joy and resilience.
