Loose Containers 2026 Registration Link
Series Description
Join Springlove of Access-Centered Movement® in a workshop designed for those of us with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) and Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder (HSD). We will be using the “Access-Centered Framework,” which centers holistic and intersectional access in all parts of the offering. More access details below.
If you are not sure if you are hypermobile, these are some signs:
- joints that pop frequently
- natural flexibility (although many times muscles tighten to protect joints and become stiff, joints can also become stiff because of injury)
- sensitive nervous system
- insomnia
- gastrointestinal distress
- inexplicable neuromuscular issues
- POTS
- allergies, Mast Cell Activation
- neurodivergence
- soft looking skin
- look younger
- easy bruising
- proprioceptive difficulty (challenges in perception or awareness of the position and movement of the body)
- psychic abilities
While this workshop series is designed for, and will center, people with hypermobility, all can benefit from deep, holistic, and intersectional core stabilizing rooted in decolonial practices. Holistic meaning that this will not just be about our physical cores: we will also discuss our “galactic cores” and how having a “loose container” impacts them. Intersectional meaning that we will always hold the complexities between all aspects of our lives, including our identities, lived-experiences, and privileges/marginalizations.
This workshop is intentionally entitled, “Healing with a Loose Container,” as I invite each of us into our spiritual adulthood, our agency. I offer that we consider our “Loose Containers” an integral part of our purpose, path, and healing. It is no mistake that so many seers, healers, shamans, witches, psychics, etc. experience deep wounding in this or past lives. Often, the wound holds the secrets to our healing and growth. The Wounded Healer is an archetype that can ground and hold us, a container, if we may.
Humans need containers, for our safety, grounding, intimacy, and growth. Many of our challenges in the contemporary world come from lacking strong containers, either entirely or having “loose” ones. From the moment some humans disconnected from the Earth, we ruptured one of the most stable and intimate containers we have.
Those of us who have hypermobile bodies typically navigate extra challenges when it comes to our containers, impacting every one that tries to hold us. There are complex reasons for this, some coming from systems of oppression in our 3D world, others from our own bodymindspirits; ultimately, they are all connected.
It may not feel this way much of the time, and there are many blessings in our Loose Containers. Not in the exploitative sense, not as a dehumanizing performance that abuses our flexibility, rather from the authentic place of understanding our divine purpose and role in this life. Hypermobile bodies have been historically exploited, I invite us to take back our power, find our inner light, and stabilize from the inside out.
This workshop will be broken up into discussion and practice. We will invited to explore my unique theories and viewpoints on hypermobility, which will include a discussion of how hypermobility affects our nervous systems and spiritual bodies. As I stated, there will be trauma-informed and Access-Centered practices throughout such as rituals for stabilizing, cleansing, and renewing.
Things that we suggest you have access to (we will give different options hoping that this is accessible for as many people as possible):
- Please access a place where you can lie down as comfortably as possible. The best option is a mat on a firmer surface like the floor (it might feel supportive to layer the mat with blankets or towels to create more cushioning). If it is not possible for you to access a mat or to get on the floor, lying on a couch or bed is an option if it’s not so soft that your spine rounds when you lie on your back. If you are not able to lie down please let us know.
- A chair that you do not sink into (please let us know if you cannot sit)
- Something to support your neck like a rolled-up towel, scarf, or pillow intended for lying on your back.
- Resistance or therapy band.
- One pound weights or canned food.
- Something to place in between your thighs like a Pilates ball, pillow, or towel.
- Something for self-myofascial release like a foam roller, stick roller, or Theracane.

The Curriculum
This workshop series will be broken into two hour classes, which will be held from Monday, November 2nd 2026 from 5:30PM PST to 7:30PM PST for 8 weeks until December 21st 2026. Each class will include a bio break and will be recorded for access, you will have 90 days to watch each recording and then it will be deleted. If you need more time for access reasons, please email me. Please note that I work intuitively and based on the people in the container, so the following curriculum may shift to better meet your needs.
There will be two Community Circles offered, where Springlove will faciliate connection and community building amongst cohort members, if wanted. There will be opportunity for BIPOC only space, either facilated by a cohort member who identifies as BIPOC or a colleague. These dates will be secured later, with input from members. You will also be invited to schedule one private 30-minute meeting with Springlove, where you may ask them personalized questions and receive support in a more intimate setting.
With your registration, you will also receive a supportive PDF by Springlove with unique graphics, prayers, rituals, and more as a visual aid! You are not allowed to share this with anyone in this esoteric space, I will offer it before class as an act of centering access.
November 2nd : Loose Bodies
The first class will offer Access-Centered Movement rooted in Pilates, Yoga Therapy, Myofascial Release, and Physical Therapy to stabilize the body, which can help stabilize the whole container. Everything will be invitational, if you attend live and with video on, Springlove will be able to provide limited personalized feedback around form and alignment. We will be invited to explore:
- Stabilizing the Breath
- Exploring Neutral Spine
- What is Your Core?
- The Neck is Everything
- Jaws and Tongues Matter
- Strong and Flexible Backs
- The Multidirectional Shoulder
- Arm Spiraling

- Connecting to the Pelvic Floor
- Stable Hips
- Loose Legs
- Grounded Feet
- Increasing Propioception
- Viscera
- The Whole Body
November 16th : Loose Nerves
Utilizing the Access-Centered Framework, we will be invited to explore the hypermobile nervous system, how it is unique, and how we can work to heal it within our own special systems, capacities, and abilities. With some theory and a lot of practice, you will be gifted multiple techniques and modalities to create your own personalized nervous system regulation protocol. Co-Regulation is so important, these tools may also give you the capacity to regulate even when another person is not near to support. We will be invited to cover:
- Polyvagal Theory
- Cranial and Facial Nerves
- Craniosacral Therapy
- Magic Buttons AKA Tapping
- Hz for Hurts
November 23rd : Loose Fascia
Whoa what is Fascia? It’s become a popular focus in the last couple years, you may even see ads on Instagram after looking at this! Some of us have known its important role for decades, and have beautiful techniques for hydrating and restoring it. It can impact everything, especially our mental health and energy levels. We will be invited to explore:
- Fascia: Fractaled Highway | In Between Worlds
- But Whyyyy?
- Loose Fascia? What if I Feel Stiff!?
- Lymphatic Drainage
- Safe Myofascial Release
- Hydrated Fascia
November 30th : Loose Emotions
Aaah why are we so sensitive!? Maybe you don’t relate, and also the average hypermobile being seems to be more sensitive than many. There are reasons why! And it is not inherently bad, by stabilizing our emotional bodies and learning some ways to regulate, ground, release, and repair, we may begin to see how we can feel stronger, less reactive, and with smaller windows of dysregulation and hangovers. The goal is not to be less emotional, the goal is to feel more comfortable within ourselves, on our own terms, and if wanted. We will be invited to explore:
- Hypermobile Neurodiversity
- Stress Threshholds and CPTSD
- Internal Family Systems | The Pathologized One
- Emotional Freedom Technique
- Bilateral Stimulation
- Somatic Release
December 7th : Loose Auras | Loose Boundaries
Did you know that hypermobility impacts the entire container, including your energetic and spiritual one? Many don’t, and this is what makes this particular workshop so unique. We will be invited to learn about our auras and energetic boundaries, including techniques for cleansing and solidifying them. We will be invited to explore:
- What is our Aura and How Can it be Loose?
- Cleansing the Aura
- Gathering our Tenticles
- Grounding and Cording
- Clearing Blocks and Healing Ruptures
- Solidifying Boundaries
December 14th : Loose Spirits
Do you feel like the “chosen one” in your line? Have you always felt kinda psychic? Well, you probably are. Hypermobility has a unique spiritual quality, and while extremely challenging to live with, there are certain gifts we each have that are needed in this world. How can we safely nourish these gifts while protecting ourselves in the Spirit World? How can our ancestors help us? We will be invited to explore:
- Psychic Ability and a Loose Container
- Ancestral Worship
- Spiritual Protection
- Spirit Guides
December 21st : Healing with a Loose Container
Healing with Loose Containers is not different from Healing with a Loose Container: paradox is a universal Law of the Universe. We simultaneously have infinite containers and one container, how can we break this down in a way that makes sense to each of us? Which containers can we focus on and strengthen for deepening stability? How can we web together the three containers we have been working with for the last seven weeks? These questions and more will be discussed in our final class! A final ritual will be offered for Healing our Loose Containers. We will be invited to explore:
- Ritual as Container
- The Mirror and Hologram
- Manifesting without Spiritual Bypass
- Living Wholly

Registration
REGISRATION HERE: Loose Containers 2026 Registration Link
You will get the Zoom Link after registering, it may take a few days. If you do not receive a link by Friday, October 26th 2026 at 12PM PST please email me. Please also contact me if it is not accessible to fill out the google form and you need another registration option.
Payment
Sliding Scale $444 – $777+ (these rates are well below market rate for similar offerings) with Partial and Full Scholarship Options. You must either pay me or contact me via email to request a scholarship before the class begins in order to be considered fully registered. You are much more likely to receive a partial than full scholarship.
- I highly encourage people who have financial access to pay as much as they can, especially white folks or anyone with wealth, perhaps more than $777. This is to help fund folks who do not have access and support scholarships. How much you are able to give impacts how many scholarships I can offer, there is no shame in genuinely needing a scholarship!
- The only way that this model works successfully is when people give what they authentically can, remembering that we are all conditioned in a model of scarcity and that it is often uncomfortable to give in this framework, it will feel like a “stretch” to give what you authentically can.
- For people who cannot afford the sliding scale: I am offering scholarships to low-income, hypermobile folks. Priority for Black, Indigenous, and/or Palestinian hypermobile folks, as an act of reparations, if wanted. Please remember that Springlove is very low-income with high disability related expenses and that this is their life’s work.
- Please contact Springlove via email (accesscenteredmovement@gmail.com) to request a scholarship BRIEFLY explaining your situation.
Please submit your payments electronically via Venmo, CashApp or PayPal.
IMPORTANT!!! You must choose “pay friends” so that I don’t pay a fee to Venmo or Paypal, if you are not comfortable with this please contact me for another payment option as I am not willing to pay them.
Payment info is on the Registration Form
Please email Springlove at accesscenteredmovement@gmail.com if you need to pay another way.
About the Teacher:
Springlove (antiracist/antiZionist white Jewish, disabled/ill non-binary queer) is a psychic medium, diviner, and priestess that began practicing movement, magic, and meditation over 25 years ago to manage their chronic pain and complex PTSD. They found, however, that most offerings were not accessible for their needs. With the support of Disability Justice activists, they created Access-Centered Movement and the AC Framework in 2016: a trauma-informed and intersectional framework that attempts to dismantle hierarchies of bodies and minds in virtual and physical spaces. Springlove is a registered Yoga teacher and Initiated High Priestess, and uses their vast knowledge of yoga therapy, dance, Pilates, personal training, Feldenkrais, Somatics, Craniosacral Therapy, IFS, EMDR, EFT, Divination, Shamanism, Vipassana meditation, Earth-Based Magic, and their lived experience as a sick and disabled queer survivor to offer support for those suffering from trauma and physical/emotional pain. Aware that the ancestors of some of the spiritual traditions they practice are not their own, they are committed to decolonizing their practice under the leadership of Indigenous elders. They currently in the Pacific Northwest in Chinook Territory. They have offered monthly rent to the Chinook Tribe to pay for the land they occupy as a settler, had to stop recently due to housing crisis, and plan to resume with this workshop.
