THE GATEWAYS
EACH CLASS will begin with guided movement, a check-in,
​and then exploring together a theme or "Gateway" for the week.
These Gateways are made up of expressive arts practices and principles
that liberate the mind and body from limiting beliefs and patterns
​that keep us from our essential nature.
Our sessions build upon each other, gently, playfully Inviting you to move into a of fullness of feeling, expression, and authentic connection to life, to reclaim your creative impulse in ways you may never have believed possible. We will build a strong group field of practice and to make the most of this time together means a full series commitment.
​(and if you know you need to miss one session, that's okay!)

Life-Skills for our times!
You will be supported to reach beyond your normal ways of being
You will be guided into nourishing yourself deeply,
You will be enticed to play and discover.
You will leave more connected to your heart, opened in your body, and free to express, free to feel fully alive!

In the turbulent current of these times, are you feeling vital, connected, resourced, and free? If not, it would be understandable! Our culture, society at large is navigating uncharted waters, and as individuals and as communities we are being pushed to grow and change well beyond what we have known. Most people today are struggling to lift a heavy load, emotionally, physically, spiritually, socially… We are resilient beings, so we survive, but what else is possible? What if the very challenges we face point us toward an evolutionary leap,
allowing us and future generations to thrive?
“Embodiment” is a concept that has caught on within the healing arts, rising out of the realization that our western culture was built upon reducing our bodies to machines that could be modified, enslaved, suppressed, controlled, and denied. To reckon with this is to realize we have an untapped fountain of life-force and intelligence that is a missing piece in our ethical, spiritual, relational, political and even ontological frameworks. Discovering what it feels like to dismantle the oppressive paradigm in our bodies is nothing less that a revolution,
a reclamation of a great capacity that lives within you.

We will draw from a wide range of methods, teachings, tools...
These may include Social Presencing Theater, Zegg Forum, Authentic Movement, Somatic Meditations and Journey work, Contact Improvisation, Circle Singing, SoulSong Vocal Empowerment, Playback Theater, Breathwork, and so much more.
This course will be highly engaging, and physical in nature. However, it is my mission to attune to the group, moving at the speed of trust, and genuine opening. We will orient with a beginners mind, with kindness and gentleness, while moving dynamically to audaciously flirt with our potential, as individuals and as a community.
​All levels of experience are welcomed!

Things you can expect:
Play reclaimed as an honorable way for you to learn and grow
Awareness practices, connecting us to our sacred nature and belonging
Research of our physical and subtle bodies as gateways to dynamic expression
Authenticity as the safest and most satisfying way to be with others
Expanding our sense of self-as-Earth
A study of personal and collective “flow state”
Relational practices that foster freedom and sovereignty in alignment with intimacy and connection
… in an embodied way!

“Mia’s vast pool of teachings are rich with metaphor
which provides food for mind/body/spirit integration.
In ongoing classes, great trust and rapport is built amongst the participants."
~ Jennifer Hill
"Mia, In your presence my heart expands, opens into a deep sense of trust.
​I'm invited to be my fullest, most authentic self.
You helped me find my song, and my dance... and even my path." ~ K. Anderson
