Teaching Ithaca Wellness Launches "The Architecture of the Self": A Summer Somatic Series
ITHACA, NY — Local educator and wellness coach Alison Rawlins, founder of Teaching Ithaca Wellness, LLC, is proud to announce a new 8-part workshop series, "The Architecture of the Self," running Sunday afternoons from July 19 through September 6.
At the heart of this series is the debut of the Concentric Boundaries curriculum—a somatic guide designed to help participants move past intellectualized "rules" and into the felt-sense reality of their personal space. By framing emotional and professional security through architectural metaphors, Rawlins invites the community to rebuild their internal infrastructure with kindness and clarity.
A Somatic Sunday Rhythm Each session takes place from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM at Rawlins’ home studio in Ithaca. The afternoons are structured to facilitate deep transition:
The Welcome Circle: Setting the architectural theme.
The Snack & Shift: A light nourishment break to move from "thinking" to "sensing."
Artistic Exploration: Hands-on creative work to map the internal self.
Closing: Integrating the blueprint before the week begins.
The Summer Schedule:
July 19: Part 1 – The Foundation
July 26: Part 2 – The Threshold
August 2: Part 3 – The Windows (THINK Filter)
August 9: Part 4 – The Observation Deck
August 16: Part 5 – Tapestries & Bivouacs
August 23: Part 6 – Clarity is Kindness
August 30: Part 7 – Conflict as a Gateway
September 6: Part 8 – The Renovation Blueprint
Logistics & Materials Participants are encouraged to bring a dedicated journal and a sketchbook specifically for this course to document their somatic evolution. While the workshops are held in a cozy home environment, Rawlins notes with a wink that her "curious dogs" will be safely contained so the group can focus on the work at hand.
Investment:
Full 8-Week Blueprint: $100 suggested donation (Includes weekly coaching check-ins).
A La Carte: $10–$35 suggested donation per session.
About Teaching Ithaca Wellness, LLC: Teaching Ithaca Wellness provides mindfulness-based art curriculum and therapeutic coaching to the Ithaca community, focusing on empowering individuals through creative expression and boundary work.

What animals migrate? The answer may surprise you!

Join us for a fun and informative program all about the species that migrate and the reasons behind their incredible journeys. We’ll meet some of our animal ambassadors who could migrate in the wild, then take a short walk through our pollinator garden and around the pond to look for migrating butterflies or birds.

Feel free to bring your own binoculars if you’d like to do some birdwatching!

Registration is appreciated

Participants will explore connections between land use and water quality through a visit to Laughing Goat Fiber Farm in the southwestern portion of the Cayuga Lake watershed (Town of Ithaca). This working farm raises angora and cashmere goats, alpacas, and sheep to produce specialty fiber yarns and finished goods. During the experience, participants will observe how the farm manages animals and land and consider how agricultural practices can influence surrounding waterways and overall watershed health.

The visit includes a guided farm tour followed by a facilitated, hands-on learning activity. After the tour, participants will gather in a shaded area to engage with an Enviroscape watershed model to explore how topography, runoff, and human activities interact and influence water movement and water quality within a watershed system.

Join CSI for a guided tour of the Ithaca Area Wastewater Treatment Plant, led by facility staff. Participants will learn what wastewater is, how it is collected and conveyed to the treatment plant, and how it is processed before being safely released back into Cayuga Lake. The tour introduces key water quality concepts and connects themes explored in other Journey of Water programs, offering insight into the systems that protect and maintain local water resources.

This 2-hour program is a guided walking tour of the Ithaca Area Wastewater Treatment Plant. Participants will move through multiple areas of the facility alongside plant staff, with stops for explanation, observation, and discussion. The experience includes both indoor and outdoor components and provides an overview of how wastewater is collected, treated, and returned to the environment. The tour involves continuous walking and standing, with limited seating available throughout the program.
