5 workshops
on somatic observation and exploration
Discover Your Unique Way of Moving & Expressing
What is your own special way of moving and being expressive?
How can we become more aware of this?
How can we observe someone move and find words to describe what we see and feel?​
​
I invite you to explore these questions through Somatic Movement, a type of bodywork that helps us sense in our minded bodies what we don’t normally think is possible.
​
What to Expect
Somatic movement unfolds through slow, guided explorations of mindful movement, sitting at the intersection of:
-
Health
-
Self-regulation
-
Consciousness
-
Self-transformation
These gentle explorations are open to all, regardless of age. No previous experience in somatic movement or dance is required—this is for anyone with a body, and lots of curiosity!
