This workshop will deepen our movement practice. Experiment with dimensions of the process with a group of experienced movers.  Suspending the pressure to produce and perform in this safe container, the creative spark has space to ignite and to be enhanced. This simple yet profound practice of moving meditation, known as Contemplative Dance or Authentic Movement, works with the innate intelligence and creativity of the body, psyche and imagination, and with the drive for wholeness and integration.

We pay attention to the body and invite it to lead us into movement or stillness, suspending self-criticism and cultivating awareness. Through explorations with various art media we will invite the active imagination to unfold and play. This workshop also includes guided movement meditations.
