Meet Your Guides
Kendra Adler &
Malia Wright-Merer
We are somatic facilitators, cultural stewards, and longtime friends
with a shared devotion to this question:
what would it be like to not rush?
to pause? to listen to the space in between?
what emerges when we rest, and when we play?
how do we show up when we are resourced, in our bodies,
our leadership, and our communities?
PHENOMENA was born from this inquiry,
and from our own lived experiences of burnout, transition, deep grief, loss, confusion and the slow return to the body through land and relationship.
Together, we bring decades of training in somatics, embodiment, trauma integration, community facilitation, and healing-centered leadership. We also bring laughter, gentleness, silliness and a fierce commitment to honoring complexity.
We are not your only guides
We invite the guides of the land, Ź»Äina: lava, rock, ocean, gecko, fern, and the fierce energy of Pele (goddess of fire, lightning, volcanoes, and wind, as well as the creator of the Hawaiian Islands.) While honoring the native Hawaiian people who steward this land.
This retreat is about listening, resourcing, remembering our own indigeneity and how we can emerge into collective creation.
We are honored to guide this space for other changemakers and cultural leaders navigating their own thresholds.
