Welcome back from all of us here at School of Movement Medicine HQ. After the heat of summer, and amid the wild mixture of beauty and fierceness of these times, we're looking forward to getting back on the dance floor with you. We have some exciting online, as well as 'in the room' offerings to share with you this Autumn.
Susannah has been working on her new book about accompanying her parents through the final chapters of their lives. Meanwhile, Ya'Acov's been in Mexico working on an extraordinary event called Ecstasy of the Serpent. More on this soon.
A New Way to Begin
For someone completely new, joining a Movement Medicine space can feel like a big leap into the unknown. So we’ve created an Intro to Movement Medicine, a welcoming, live online workshop with Ya’Acov Darling Khan where new dancers can experience the practice through movement, music and simple guidance.
If you or someone you know has been curious about Movement Medicine, this could be a lovely place to begin. For an honest account of the leap of beginning, see Breda's Story below.

Yorck graduated at this year's Summer Long Dance, read his celebration below.
Breda shares her story of moving through shyness and self consciousness as she stepped onto the dance floor and discovered that her love of numbers and her love of dance are not opposites, but two parts of the same whole.
September's Events
Interoception: The hidden key
September's Movement Medicine Study Hub Lesson
In this month's lesson with Susannah, we delve into the hidden key of "interoception" to support our emotional intelligence, instinct, intuition, and our capacity for empathy. Interocption, or the "felt sense" as Gendlin calls it, is our capacity to perceive and be aware of what is happening inside our own bodies. Most of us have never been taught how valuable this is, or how to grow it. Come and explore!
Study Hub members have access to a substantial and ever growing library of Movement Medicine practices; choose from short (15 mins) and longer (60 mins) guided sessions, seasonal ceremonies and a weekly pulse of Movement Medicine inspiration. Start your free 10 day trial today!
