Moving Soul
Give yourself the gift of an hour to enter into deeper communication with your body in a supported way. This exploration includes a brief orienting/arrival check-in followed by approximately 30 minutes of nonverbal movement supported by music based on Gabrielle Roth’s 5 Rhythms (flow, staccato, chaos, lyrical, stillness) and gentle, periodic facilitation based on what is emerging authentically within the group experience. Ample time for transition out of such a deep, internal space is also provided as well as opportunity for more verbal processing and witnessing before bringing things to a close. Emphasis during Moving Soul is on each participant staying connected and true to their authentic experience, needs and curiosity in an embodied way within the group movement context. Space is limited to 8 participants per group session.
