moving elemental
nature is our true nature
coming soon:
Moving Elemental monthly class
~ somatic movement practices to connect with elemental aspects of ourselves.
Living with the myriad of current challenges, we experience an acceleration and often respond through tension and/or collapse. These monthly sessions are an opportunity to connect in the present moment to ground, release, refresh – to move into the world with embodied resource.
We will engage in somatic movement practices to rehydrate, to allow unfurling of experience.
Starting with slow, gentle guided movements to reconnect to the hydrating movements of Movingness, progressing into self-paced movement and breath explorations inspired by practices of Body-is-Earth and ContinuumMontage, and concluding with reflection and integrative sharing.
“Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.” — James Baldwin
