moving elemental
nature is our true nature
Workshops, classes, and community events offering opportunity to engage in movement explorations to connect to the elemental aspects of ourselves.
Each session / gathering offers sensory & perceptual awareness and movement practices that are grounded in the approach of Continuum and Continuum Montage as well as in Body and Earth work.
** morning Qigong movement classes** ~ Fridays at 9:30am via zoom. Each class starts with a Qigong-based warm-up and sessions will include Qigong practices informed by the somatic movement practices of Continuum-based and Body-is-Earth movement to deepen our explorations.
It is my perspective that most cultures either have, or had, practices of health and well-being that involve breath, movement, and intention. It is from this perspective that I share these Qigong movement practices.
These sessions are free, in lieu of payment I invite you to participate in the circle of generousity / reciprocity – by “paying it forward” in a way that is congruent for you; perhaps by supporting local food / housing security or social justice organizations in your community via volunteering or donation.
