5Please tell us about two recent precious moments you’ve experienced in your professional Movement Medicine work.
1. The last dance of the session following the return of the final 20 living hostages back to Israel. Powerful dance of great, shared joy. A sense of immense gratitude and relief that sent shivers through our bodies.
2. Dancing the end of the war with the air element that supported the dancers to breathe and spread and open their arms. Joy mixed with profound relief. New dance emerging
6Please tell us something about when you recognised that Movement Medicine was going to play an important role in your life.
It was a direct and straight vision. A beloved teacher I worked with suggested I try Movement Medicine. Susannah arrived in Israel and I showed up. As I stepped on the dance floor, I received a vision. A call of my soul. A knowing that this is the platform where everything I love : dance, prayer, and inner work - merged into one.
That was the answer I was praying for a long time:
the connection of soul in body I longed for.
7The thing you find yourself saying most often to your participants.
Rhythm is your friend. Your allay. A gateway to the body.
Allow your spine to drop into and rest in the loving hands of the beat.
Saying yes to what moves inside of you. There is space for it all, from challenge to beauty.
