The evenings are drawing in as we welcome the onset of autumn, time to get learning, growing and creating - we couldn't be more excited!
In September, we kicked off our next Professional Training with module 1, bringing together 48 trainees from across the globe who joined us here in Devon, to begin their Professional journey with Movement Medicine. What an incredible group they are - and so very well prepared by their Movement Medicine Apprenticeships. We feel so happy that soon many of them will be holding Movement Medicine spaces. Watch this space.
October often finds us looking ahead to the coming year - we can’t wait to see you on the dance floor (in the room or online).

This month’s dancer story comes from Tony Nickall's. Tony shares how, as both his personal world and the wider world were shutting down, he was introduced to Movement Medicine and the space it provided for him to dance.
Click below for more Dancer Stories and Teacher Spotlights.
We love hearing about how life on the Movement Medicine dance floor effects the dance of your life. If you have a story to share, please get in touch.
UPCOMING EVENTS WITH FOUNDERS
October's Study Hub Lesson
YIN AND YANG OF FULFILMENT
This month, following Maaianne Knuth’s beautiful lesson on Interconnection, we are exploring the yin and yang of the gateway of ‘fulfilment’ - this is a deeply intimate, personal and individual theme to do with what you really value in life. Watch out for a surprise guest!
This lesson will help you get more in touch with both the active and receptive aspects of fulfilment - both of which are so important for a life well lived!
phoenix rising

ONLINE
Rise from the Ashes and learn the powerful DIY shamanic healing tool, ‘The Phoenix Process’, developed by the Founders of Movement Medicine, Ya’Acov & Susannah Darling Khan.

Susannah's support and leadership allows you to experience the transformative and revelatory possibilities of bringing all of yourself onto the dance floor.
ecstasis
sat 26 oct- sun 27 oct
paris, france
Ecstasis, literally meaning ‘to stand outside oneself,’ is a state that has been available to humans across culture and time. We take standing outside ourselves to mean a state in which we are can see the bigger picture in which our lives exist. Ecstasis can arise at any time, and it tends to give deeper context and meaning to our lives. It can refer to grief as well as joy and through it, we can gain valuable insight and guidance into our lives and what actually matters most to us.
samhain tribal heart
fri 1 nov 6- 8:30pm uk
online
Samhain is traditionally a time for strengthening our experiential connecting with the spirits or the imaginal world, including our descendants. For that reason, we will pay particular attention to inviting a deeper connection with that which supports and guides us so we can be as creative, grounded and present in our response to what life is bringing. As the autumn deepens, we are preparing for the winter, gathering what we will need for our next journey into winter months.
