Please join me for the coming together of two realms of discovery — depth movement and creative writing.
In this workshop, I will lead basic dance warm-ups and teach the basic form and practice of authentic movement. We’ll start with sensation and movement to awaken and “juice up” our bodies, intuition, and imaginal selves. From there, I’ll provide prompts and guidance to further illuminate and flesh out what’s emerged as meaningful. Go home with drafts that will serve as touchstones of your journey “down and in” or perhaps even honed pieces that will find life in the greater world.
Come sense, move, feel, excavate, imagine, and create! If you’ve been feeling numbed, two-dimensional, lost, uninspired, disconnected, confused, or stuck — this is the workshop for you!
“Tell me more!”:
Our “shadows” make us interesting and real. We can turn toward what’s there with humor, play, reverence, curiosity, and love. If we do, our shadows empower us, enabling us to empathize and connect with others. What’s found in the darkness — the place not illuminated by consciousness — holds crucial energy and information we need to heal and grow … it’s exactly what’s needed for true aliveness and wholeness. It deserves respect and the right kind of attention.
Join me for the coming together of two realms of discovery — depth movement and creative writing. I bring my training in dance, creative writing, dreamwork, and somatic psychotherapy to facilitate a process of shedding light on what’s in the shadow.
