Local Area Information
While Somatic Systems Institute's Western Massachusetts location may at first seem nestled away in its own corner of the world, student life is enriched by the school's location in this area: The Pioneer Valley of Western Massachusetts, the Connecticut River valley called "The Valley" by local residents, is home to everything from a large amusement park to the homestead of a beloved poet and all within 5 minutes to an hour's drive from campus. Big city life is not too far, either, as we are fairly close to both Boston and New York. Read more about Local Area Information
