About this Event
We’ll begin with a warm up: time to arrive, land, transition, and wake the body. We’ll spend some time in a generative somatic/movement exploration, to expand movement possibilities together. Then, we’ll enjoy a luscious passage of music, sounds, and silence currents, to move with, through, and around.
Opening and closing circles bookend the ritual of movement practice for enlivening and voyaging.
Call and response. Ebb and flow. Stillness and movement. Listening and expressing, offering movement gestures and phrases. Breath, bones, muscles, fascia, heart, soul, spirit - ripples of movement bubbling from the creative wellspring.
Do dress in layers, and bring water in a closed container and a snack if you’d like. Some folks also enjoy bringing a journal or simple (dry) art supplies, though this is not necessary.
Folks will be well supported to explore their own instinctive ripples of movement and play, their own creative voice, within spacious time and a kind, welcoming atmosphere of relational ecology.
