Body Creature is not a workshop.
It’s not networking.
It’s not group therapy.
It’s not self-improvement.
It’s a small circle of women slowing down enough to listen through the body.
You bring one small object from home:
Something that reflects what you’ve been circling, sensing, carrying, grieving, longing for, or quietly becoming.
We begin simply.
A small object.
A breath.
A slow return to sensation.
And then we listen for what wants to move, mark, rest, take shape, or come through.
Most women are living from the neck up.
Thinking.
Planning.
Managing.
Performing.
Body Creature is a space to drop back down.
To notice what your body has been carrying.
To let sensation become movement.
To let movement become color, shape, image, texture, word, or symbol.
To experience what appears when you stop managing the process.
You won’t be asked to share anything you don’t want to.
You are simply invited to follow what wants to come through.
There may be movement.
There may be stillness.
There may be art-making, mark-making, words, color, ribbon, fabric, thread, image, or symbol.
No one is trying to make good art.
No one is trying to perform insight.
We are simply following what the body wants to show us.
Sometimes there is laughter that feels like relief.
Sometimes something takes shape before anyone understands what it means.
Sometimes a woman recognizes herself in what her body has made.
Not improved.
Not optimized.
Just… closer to herself.
Monday, October 12, 1 PM, at Lotus Ranch, Wimberley
Each gathering is intentionally small.
Because the body needs room.
Body Creature meets seasonally at Lotus Ranch in Wimberley, Texas, in a quiet, indoor setting surrounded by nature.
The next gathering is Monday, October 12, 2026, 1 PM, Lotus Ranch, Wimberley
(Gatherings run 2.5 - 3 hours. We don't rush the ending - the closing time depends on what the circle needs that day.)
This gathering is limited to 7 women.
Investment: $111
Please bring one small object from home — something that reflects what you’ve been circling, sensing, carrying, grieving, longing for, or quietly becoming.
You may also bring a few small creative pieces if you feel called: ribbon, fabric, paper, thread, beads, dried flowers, images, or natural objects.
Everything else will be provided.
Come with your body, your object, and your curiosity.
Hi. I'm Carol Holguin. I've been a Licensed Massage Therapist since 1991, and since 2015 I've focused my practice on Trauma Touch Therapy — a modality for working with trauma held in the body.
In my early years, I also coached swimming — teaching technique, yes, but really teaching feel: helping swimmers sense how their own bodies responded to the smallest shift, so they could feel how it translated to ease of movement.
I've spent my life close to the body — its strength, its holding, its grief, its relief.
Over years with clients, I began to notice something:
the body has a voice. Simple, subtle, honest.
And when a woman is given real spaciousness — without obligation, without performance — that voice can be followed. Through movement. Into expression. Into art.
Body Creature is what grew from that noticing.
I live and work in Wimberley, Texas.
You don’t need to know what your object means.
You don’t need to explain it beautifully.
You don’t need to make anything impressive.
You don’t need to arrive with clarity.
Bring something small that carries a little charge.
A question.
A grief.
A longing.
A seed.
A memory.
A mystery.
A piece of beauty.
Then let the body show you what wants to come through.
You don’t need to become anything.
Just come as you are.
If you feel a quiet pull reading this, trust it.

No. Nothing here is about skill or outcome. You're simply following what wants to come through
Come as your body is. Movement is optional and self-paced — there's no requirement to get on the floor or move in any particular way.
No. Body Creature isn't tied to any tradition — just a shared willingness to slow down and listen to the body.
Comfortable clothing you can move in. The space is a lovely indoor, air-conditioned studio. Full location details are sent after registration.
Deposits are non-refundable, but never wasted — they can always be applied to a future Body Creature gathering.
If you know you can't make it, please let me know as soon as possible so I can offer your spot to someone else. If I'm able to fill it, I'll happily refund your deposit or apply it toward a future circle — your choice.
