Led by Margie (Lewitt) Golden, LCSW (she/her)

Class Description
Are you experiencing feelings of grief, loss, anxiety, or overwhelm?

Sometimes, these emotions get stuck in the body, causing suffering and preventing us from moving forward.

Expressive Movement uses the power of movement, breath, and sound to inspire you to release pain and suffering to connect to love, harmony, and peace in a compassionate transformation. 

If you participated in the previous practice with Margie, this time will be different (new poses/techniques) from what you experienced before. Each practice offers and invites a different transformation.

Facilitator Margie (Lewitt) Golden, LCSW, is an experienced grief and loss therapist who was trained by Paul Denniston, the founder of Grief Yoga®, to provide Expressive Movement sessions in the community. All aspects of this session will be invitational so that each participant can choose what feels right for them throughout the practice. This practice is mild and gentle, with no previous movement experience necessary. Participants are invited to join in the movements seated in a chair, standing, or using a mat on the floor, depending on what would feel most comfortable to them. 

In her session, Margie will guide you through a practice of techniques and poses demonstrated to release difficult emotions in order for you to reach what you desire: harmony, comfort, peace, compassion. 

The practice will begin with grounding and breathing together.We then take our practice to Awareness. We warm up with seated exercises that share the goal of becoming more aware of our emotions and releasing places where we carry tension and stress. 

We will then flow into Expression. Expression is an opportunity to find our strength and power. In this phase we are invited to participate in techniques to release the difficult emotions.  

Next is Connection. It is natural when experiencing grief, anxiety, or fear to feel alone and disconnected from others. In this phase, we use flowing meditations to move toward grace. 

Lastly is Surrender. In this final phase, we will learn the incredible power of the act of surrender…releasing control to circumstances. We will close out the session with a poem or drawing or stillness.

If you're ready to experience relief from feeling stuck, we hope you'll join us for this one-hour session.
