ALIVE:

luscious embodiment & movement pathways for women

This offering weaves together some of my favourite things.


Together we will:

• Contact our aliveness through deep feminine embodiment practice. Inhabiting what we are feeling more fully - lightness, contraction & the inbetween - and discovering the vitality and wisdom that live there.

• Ground in our physicality and anatomy through somatic dance and movement. We will work with creative invitations and specific movement phrases that offer practical, dynamic, soft & fun ways of coming to the floor, rolling, changing levels - deepening our relationship with our own physical structure and our physical environment. 

• Come together in touch-based and potential weight-sharing exercises inspired by contact improvisation to explore moving and being together, embodied support & co-regulation, and establishing a felt sense of ‘edges’ or boundary with another(s). 

Who this is for:

This offering is for the deeply sensate woman who knows that the body is her way. Her sensitivity is her biggest asset and she wants to claim that by making more room for feeling. She (probably!) loves to dance and is curious about how attuning to her moving physicality can support her to feel more grounded, safe, embodied, powerful & free. She wants to feel more contained in her own edges and take care of the sense of porousness that she often experiences in the world. She wants to be in relationship with her aliveness. 

Inspired and informed by:

My studies and immersion in the deep feminine mystery school with Maya Luna, contact improvisation (many teachers), the axis syllabus (primarily with Movement Artisans), somatic-lead movement and dance styles, Floor Flow Teacher Training with Marlo Fisken, the natural world, my own direct experience and a devotional body-up relationship with life.

PLEASE NOTE:

• Although we will be working with elements of CI and touch, this is not a predominantly CI-based workshop.

• All movement levels and experiences welcome - but some familiarity with being in your body is recommended.

• You will be invited to listen to and follow your own embodied wisdom and capacity - and there might be movement invitations that inspire strength and sweat!
