Portland Weekend Dancing Event:
Memorial Day 2022
A Soul Motion: Next Steps Origins Adventure into a mindfulness somatic dancing practice
We are so thrilled to be offering an IN-Person weekend event from May 28-30 in Portland, Oregon.
Here is what we will do:
We will cultivate mindfulness practices that use breath, imagination, concentration, and a relaxed ground to gain access to a moving intrinsic intelligence.
We will dance in ways that honor both the inside volume of a body and the outside dynamics of a room, including its sounds, spaces, forms, and elements.
Here is what you will learn:
Improvisational dancing techniques to widen your dancing vocabulary and learn again the value of deep listening in creating with others.
Views about the anatomical body moving in space maps of a dance room.
Here is what you will go home with:
Practices to enable your continuing education of mind and body partnering to enhance your well being.
Ways to reduce mental stressors and physical strains that often accompany you throughout the day.
