Shapeshifters: Transformation through creative movement | Only Eternity...

How do we move through this world, and how do the many layers of our true selves find their voice? What shapes our path, and how do we evolve, adapt, and release what no longer serves us?

Join Carys Evans for a transformative creative movement workshop at Nunhead Cemetery. Set against the backdrop of life’s cycles and ancient myths of transformations, this session will gently guide you through sound, movement, and creativity, inviting you to to connect with your body and others.

You’ll engage in movement exercises, playful games, art-making, and vocal expression to unlock your inner shapeshifter and harness your creative potential. This workshop aims to help you express your true self and leave feeling empowered and revitalised.
