A contemplative dance and moving meditation, Authentic Movement gives us greater access to “the witness” that lives within each of us. We can think of our “witness” as that aspect of ourselves that is always calmly and nonjudgmentally watching all that we do. We gain great understanding by listening to the insight provided by our own, private, witness. Reflecting on our internal transitions as we dance allows us to perceive and embody our divinity within.

During this workshop series we’ll use the elements in nature that arise within our own physicality. We’ll deepen our understanding of our natural self as we tap into our senses.

• On February 7th, we’ll explore our fluid self
• On February 21st our earthy self
• On March 6th our fire self and working with passion and purpose.

We emphasize breath and movement – sometimes mirroring each other’s movements – in all our workshops. We also incorporate expressive arts through drawing and journaling.
