Description

Utilizing an investigative process that draws upon meditation, visualization, and movement improvisation, Jeremy leads a session where participants move their bodies freeform, sharing playfully with expressive movement. Nurture the expansion of your expressive capacities! All who are curious and interested in exploring expressive movement as a mindful ritual and healing art process are welcome.

Each monthly offering is based on a different theme. Explorations include: movement inspired by imagery, visualizations, imaginative play, mindfulness practices, meditation, breath work, ritual, moving as a solo / duet or as a group, drawing, building communal assemblage, eyes closed explorations, dancing to live accompaniment or a specially composed playlist, constructive rest, and exploring intentional movement as the vehicle for healing / self-discovery for the individual and community. Basic arc of the practice:

  • Welcome circle & introduction to the workshop
  • Tune in meditation
  • Somatic warm up, visualizations and centering practices
  • Improvisational movement explorations as an individual, with a partner or group
  • Gratitude circle
  • Closing reflections and group share
