Hello Beautiful Community!
I wanted to write and personally invite you to my first offering of 2025. It is with great intention and love that I bring to you a practice I hold very close. I have immersed myself in some extensive training over the last few years in a beautiful soul practice, Authentic Movement. This offering is an opportunity to explore the hidden, more yin, parts of ourselves. If your current journey is seeking to know yourself on a deeper level, with more clarity, please consider this invitation. Below I will give a brief description of the form and ask that you email when you are ready to sign up. This will be an intimate group of max 8 participants. Please feel free to reach out via email if you have questions. I would love to have you join and trust you will follow your inner guide and meet me on the dance floor!
(No previous experience required)
Authentic Movement:
Is a contemplative, movement based practice rooted in Jungian psychology. It was developed by dance therapist Mary Starks Whitehouse and later expanded by Janet Adler and Joan Chodrow. In this practice, one or more people move in the presence of a “witness,” focusing on internal sensations, impulses, and images that may arise, while moving without a predetermined form or agenda.
The practice is typically done with eyes closed or softly gazing inward, allowing movers to connect deeply with their inner experiences and let the body’s natural impulses guide the movement. The witness, me, observes without judgment, holding space for the movers process, and may later reflect back what they observed if requested. This witnessing element helps develop awareness, empathy, and self reflection, enhancing the mover’s understanding of themselves.
Authentic Movement fosters self discovery and insight, tapping into unconscious material in a way that is both somatic and mindful. It is used in therapeutic, creative, and spiritual contexts, often bringing a sense of healing, clarity, and groundedness to those who move!
