Excited to be offering these nourishing, grounding movement sessions, enhancing our vitality, to help us live more awake, connected and alive. Just as the trees respond to the touch of the wind, rain and sun so do our bodies respond to being touched by another, be it our inner and outer environment. The richness that is when we open to our bodily intelligence and relational field of experience.
Come join us.. explore a greater sense of potential and expanding possibilities.
Time for deepening connection, for slowing down, creating space, to play, ground within the body,
to rest, attention to breath, be dynamic, be gentle, show up as you are.
You will be engaging with your body in a way that enhances health, ease of movement, relational & creative expression.
Based on Somatic Movement Practice and Contact Improvisation- we will explore how our body responds to touch/connection through our sensing, feeling, imaginal body. Engaging with deep body listening, weight, mass, gravity, ground, breath, fluid and bones we are taken on a journey.
We will begin with guided, gentle & restorative solo practice. Time to slow down, connect with breath, ground and drop into the interior landscape of the body.
Then we begin to engage with others, exploring being touched by presence, physical contact, partnering and group explorations.
Bodywork, improvisation, play, creative expression, freeing the voice, and embodiment practice are all a part of movement enquiry.
Come as you are, low energy, slow, up beat, dynamic, all is supported and welcomed here.

Embodied Wisdom, Movement and Somatic Well Being Training
A one year course- dates coming soon..
Awakening to profound potential and healing, engaging with conscious living for intimate connections, social change and restorative justice.
Somatic movement training focuses on experiential practice and the intelligence of the body knowing.
It combines science with creativity, spirituality and the healing arts.
The areas of study, Soma and psyche, are as follows:
1) Somatic education -the study of the self from the perspective of one’s inner lived experience, encompassing the dimensions of body, psyche, spirit and deep body listening. Integral to this is the awareness of self, the environment and other, an alchemical process allowing for transformation, connection and health.
2) Attuning presence to the emerging moment
3) Spirituality rooted through the body and sacred connections
4) Experiencing trauma recovery, release and transformation
5) Tools and resources for self care
6) Nature Connections & Kinship with Earth's Inhabitants: Eco- Somatics, Animism
7) Bodywork and the benefits of healthy healing touch
9) Body consciousness, soul consciousness and Mindful Movement
10) Experiential anatomy- emotional/ physical/ cultural, body systems and the elements
11) Dance Therapy and Embodied Psychology- working with the affects system.
12) Movement re-patterning
An inquiry into the nature of being human and these areas of study, may allow you to see what area you are more pulled towards with further resources provided to support your learning journey.
Study and practice will draw upon my years of experience within the following:
Shamanic Arts and Embodied Shamanism, Body- Mind Centering, Authentic Movement Practice and 'Active Imagination' - Carl Jung, Contact Improvisation, Continuum Practice, Dance as a Healing Art- Tamalpa Institute Methods, Focusing and Somatic Experiencing, Expressive Arts Therapy, Energy Medicine.
You can search these on-line for more information.
The above will enable the following:
● Different modes of knowing: Intuition and the felt sense/ lived embodied knowing,
envisioning through the dreaming realms, symbolic sight and metaphorical language, cognition, reflective and pre-reflective, verbal and non verbal communication, objective functional and subjective lived experiences
● Life force energy to flow freely, enhancing well- being, vitality, and quality of relating
● Vocal expression, skilful conscious communication: living from a place of inner authority, autonomy & our sovereign loving power.
● Conflict resolution & healthy Boundaries
● Energy clearing - decompressing, de-stressing, letting go that which is not ours and Soul/Life retrieval : reclaiming parts that have been lost
● E-motional restorative and transformative practice
● Healthy boundaries
● Ritual and ceremony
* Prevention of stress, dis-ease and illness, promoting well being on all levels
This is for personal growth and continued professional development.
