Moving to Feel Grounded in our Bodies (Expressive Movement) - New!

Expressive Movement workshop: Experience physical, sensory, emotional, and social grounding.

Learn

Lens of exploration: moving to feel grounded in our bodies. Drawing attention to the body through breath and sensation to cultivate presence and a dynamic relationship to the earth i.e. groundedness. Intentionally shifting with a sense of weight, yielding to and opposing gravity, and feeling the body held by gravitational forces. Grounding movement inquiries to foster: stability and strength in the vertical plane; deepen sensory awareness through proprioception​; ​psychological health; and expand non-verbal and verbal communication and interaction with others. Moving together, in contact to the ground, with body percussion and rhythm, and joyful support. Dance to centre and balance yourself, in the here and now.

Expressive Movement: connecting body, mind and wellness using a somatic, conceptual and creative approach to movement. Movement sessions offering group, dyad and solo embodied experientials to develop bodyfulness, through mindful attention during action. This program uses therapeutic principles, to facilitate giving physical shape and form to human thoughts, emotions and life experience. Movers are invited to a held, safe, welcoming and positive movement space, supported by group members. No movement experience necessary, just a curiosity to explore and move.
