Are you craving a space for intimate somatic inquiry with your deepest self? Do you find value in holding and being held in compassionate witness with other women? You are welcome here.
Authentic Movement is a unique deeply somatic, presencing, and relational practice developed from Jungian and Depth Psychology. Here we allow ourselves to "be moved" by soma, psyche, and soul as one. In this practice we let go of the conceptual self, our patterned movement and endeavor to contact our experiential impulse, image, sensation and affect as unfolding movement experience.
In Authentic Movement we explore the relational field as both mover and witness. The mover drops into practice while the witness provides a containing compassionate presence for the shared experience. This relationship becomes the ground for healing, insight and integration. We move first, and then speak from direct experience as witness and mover. We find language for our embodied experience that does not interpret, reflect or fix. We allow and trust our experience as emergent sacred intelligence moving through us.
Authentic Movement practice can support you in ~
🍃Grounding, nervous system nourishment and self care.
🍃Cultivating deep inner listening, trust in your intuition and embodied wisdom.
🍃Exploring shadow work, parts work, and archetypal emergence.
🍃Awareness and metabolization of boundaries, implicit patterns and emotional load.
🍃Having a space to be held in your unfolding - without agenda, fixing or interpretation.
