Give your body the chance to take you on a journey of self-awareness and discovery.
​
What to expect:
The body moving is a dance of awareness (DoA) workshop. DoA is an exploration of what it is to be in a body. It has roots in developmental theory (see DoA website - link below). From 10:45am we will start with a slow Sunday stretch
and warm up to music.
Around 11am there will be an opening circle followed by an arrival meditation where we focus on sensing what is going on in our own bodies. After this we will go through the remaining phases in the dance of awareness cycle; grounding, expressing, releasing, connecting and completing. We will move on our own, in pairs and in small groups. We will mix free flow dance/expression with structured exercises. There will be music to accompany us a lot of the time.
We will finish with a closing circle at 1 pm.
What to expect:
