Authentic Movement + Plant Allies Healing | 5-Week Group Series

Refunds up to 7 days before event. Eventbrite's fee is nonrefundable.

Authentic Movement is a transformative Body-Centered practice rooted in Jungian Depth Psychology and Dance/Movement Therapy. In this small-group 5 week series you will experience the transformative power of this creative embodiment practice as well as explore working with plant allies and limpias (energetic clearing) designed to deepen your process.

We will be working with non-psychedelic plant allies such as rose, chamomile, mugwort, rosemary, and lemon balm -- through meditation, song, energetic witnessing, taking them as teas during our practice, and receiving their support for energetic cleansing (limpias).

• Learn energetic, meditative, and shamanic practices for connecting with plant allies to support our internal Witnessing function and the clearing of old stuck patterns in our field
