Contemplative Dance Autumn Practice Group 2021

Join us in this generative somatic space of discovery that goes well beyond words, and trains new relational self-experiences into body and psyche. The simple but profound Contemplative Dance/ Authentic Movement 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.

An 8 week series for movers and meditators, healers, dancers, teachers, parents, poets, yogis and anyone interested in the place where the contemplative meets the expressive. Exact dates & times TBD asap! / Tuesdays 6:30-8pm CST / 7:30pm EST / 4:30pm PST

Though it is different online, we are also finding that the practice can still offer so much even within this new field of online exchange. social

We will begin classes w/ a simple somatic warm up, a self-tuning time (so you don't need to be looking at the screen at all for that) then we will shift into the practice  of moving (sounding) with closed eyes with myself as the witness for the group. As we move forward in the work together, we will also include the practice of witnessing (with kindness) in groups and an experience of working in dyads towards the end of the series. Often we will have time for “creative forming”  (time to metabolize our movement experience w/ writing or drawing/resting/sounding/or continued moving) before we come together to share our experiences with one another for the last part of each session. All are welcome.
