A new Fall Group 2021:

The Awakening Body: An Authentic Movement Practice & Reading Group - begins in October, Register Soon to Save Your Place! Wednesdays 2:30-4:30 pm CST/ 3:30-5:30 pm EST / 12:30-2:30 pm PST /

For healers, therapists, dancers, artists and creatives who wish to tap into the vast richness and nourishment of Authentic Movement practice.

Our group will read Janet Adler’s seminal book on Authentic Movement, Offering from the Conscious Body, and explore verbal and non-verbal themes related to our work as movers, healers and creators. We will talk about the book and what we discover there, but we will also move and witness a lot, entering into the generative somatic space of discovery that goes well beyond words, and trains new relational self-experiences into body and psyche.

The simple but profound Authentic Movement, also called Contemplative Dance, practice locates the body and somatic awareness in a relational field. It helps practitioners identify and move beyond old patterns to actively practice novel ways of being and relating. This can bring about a freer range of movement through life—physically, emotionally and relationally.

Given our times, this group will take place by Zoom. We’ve had good experiences running movement oriented groups and sessions via Zoom and we’re eager to share this work, especially now. We’re all hungrier than ever for embodied connection. So let’s do it!
