At this time, we want to share an important update regarding the intensive. B.J. Sullivan, the creator and founder of Safety Release will no longer be able to participate in this year's summer intensive. One week ago she was diagnosed with breast cancer. B.J. will have surgery on May 18th and will need to focus on her health and recovery during the time of the SR Intensive.

Nonetheless, the 2026 Safety Release Summer Intensive will continue as planned, in true SR fashion and glory, June 1st - 5th under the expert guidance of Marissa Finkelstein, Billy J. Hawkains III, Caitlyn Schrader, and kt williams. B.J. has personally entrusted the Safety Release Master Teachers to carry this work forward with authenticity, integrity, care, and commitment.

In light of this transition, we have adjusted the five-day intensive time to 9am-3pm, with a reduced full day rate of $400 and half day rate of $200.

The day will still consist of a somatic entrance with technique class then a specialized afternoon session. We will also welcome guest teacher Dr. Jill Green, Kinetic Awareness Master Teacher, on Wednesday June 3rd. We remain committed to creating a meaningful and supportive experience for everyone gathering this summer.

We are so excited to still be offering this Intensive and thank everyone who has registered so far; we deeply appreciate your trust, enthusiasm, and support for this work.

Our Summer Intensive has not yet reached capacity, so if you are still considering joining us, we do currently have available space!

We kindly ask that you honor B.J. Sullivan and her family by giving them needed privacy and space during this time of healing. Please help us support her and her recovery by keeping her passion for SR to be shared.

With Love,

B.J. Sullivan & the SR Team
