In this day-long workshop you will explore how embodied movement can support you to cultivate the possibility of coming home to yourself in harmonious and wholesome ways.
By weaving together the triad of Body, Heart and Mind through the essential practices of Movement Medicine® you will likely open up the possibility of a deepening connection with spirit - however you perceive that to be, and whatever language or lineage speaks to you. Simultaneously, you will also start to evolve your personal relationship with the embodied essence of your idiosyncratic mythopoeic soul expression - leading to wholeness, creative purpose and presence.
As my teacher XamAM (Brazil) suggests “ patience is the certainty of the encounter “ and this can be cultivated through awareness, acceptance and appreciation for all that is emergent - sensations, feelings, emotions, thoughts, dreams and everything else- within you and all around you, moment to moment. As we say in Movement Medicine, absolutely everything has a dance. When you meet this raw material with the twin wings of kindness and discipline transformation is certain.
When you begin to recognise that there is an abundance of love, wisdom and nourishment available at all times, you begin to listen more deeply to the needs of your body, heart, mind and soul and discover creative ways to ReSource yourself -come home to yourself. Likewise, as you start to discern what does and doesn’t serve you in life affirming ways you also begin to realise what needs to be felt, expressed and released - physically, emotionally, psychologically, relationally and spiritually. When you resource and release, remembrance comes. You begin to remember that you belong, that you are loved and that you are essentially a creative and response-able being who is inseparable from nature and that you are a storytelling and relational being that has the capacity to alchemise surviving into thriving and to transform suffering into the art of living.
When you explore all of this in community, on the dance-floor of life, it becomes almost inevitable that you will recognise that - although we are all on our own paths and no-one can live another’s life for them - we can find empowerment, inspiration and resource by sharing the endeavour of becoming more and more unapologetically who we are, together.
