Contact Improvisation as Somatic
Therapy:
Join us for a 4-week
series embarking on the study of
Contact Improv. A dance form that
teaches us how to dance
with others through a
shared point(s) of contact. We will
explore weight-sharing,
safe "falls", head-tail connection,
point of contact, bone-stacking
(alignment) and more. This practice also
inspires themes of heightened body
awareness, non-verbal communication,
boundaries, self-trust and artful
intimacy. CI is
a wonderful somatic tool for healing
connections, within and without, body
and mind, spirit and soul… come explore!”
Begins April 3, 2018
11 to 1 pm Tuesdays
Shakti Shake Up:
Moving and sounding
together as women brings healing,
empowerment and liberation for
the entire planet. Shakti
Shake Up is a
space to explore a weekly intention
from the lunar cycle through embodied
movement sequences, somatic
exercises, and voice-movementintegration. We will
connect and share with each other in
circle as a means of deepening
and support. "Consciously gathering in
a circle, feminine energy can be
amplified and heightened until
everyone feels its presence. That
energy then mirrors her own essence
back to her. “Oh this is what I am,” she
says “This is where I belong.” ~ Aphrodite’s
Daughter by
Jalaja
