September 26 - 28
This is a space to practice liberation not just as an idea but as a felt experience—starting in the body moving through community and rippling outward into change.
In a world that often asks us to harden hurry and conform how do we stay soft present and powerful? We invite you into a moving sanctuary—an embodied space where we root into our inner wisdom awaken resilience and explore how transformation begins from within.
Guided by the principle of innervism—Elizabeth Lesser’s term for a soul-centered activism that starts with inner awareness and emotional honesty—we will turn toward our own bodies stories and truths. From this grounded place we’ll explore how to move with each other and toward justice through practices like:
 Contact improvisation and authentic movement
 Movement in nature 
 Partner and group explorations that center consent care and curiosity
 Restorative practices to resource our hearts and nervous systems
 Visioning exercises to imagine and embody the future we’re seeding
 
Bring your questions your grief your joy and your longing for a more just world.  
This space welcomes seasoned movers and folks who are new to improvisation as well as people of all bodies and identities.
