What we’re about
Welcome to our fortnightly Sunday night online meetup where movement meets mindfulness! Join us for a one-and-a-half-hour therapeutic session that beautifully blends the principles of dance movement therapy with insights from Brené Brown’s "Atlas of the Heart."
We’ll explore and learn the emotions through engaging movement and body language activities. Our sessions will include a warm-up to get our bodies flowing, an inspiring theme from the book to guide our exploration, and lively group discussions to share our experiences.
We’ll also incorporate journaling and grounding activities to help you reflect and connect with your feelings. This is a welcoming space for everyone to learn, grow, and connect through the power of movement.
Who is the facilitator?
Chara is an intuitive dancer who completed a two-year study of dance movement therapy in 2024. Chara will continue facilitating sessions as she works towards becoming a professional dance movement therapist next year. Her work emphasizes the inherent power of body language, body awareness, emotional literacy, mindful movement, and mental well-being.

What is Dance Movement Therapy?
Movement Therapy is the psychotherapeutic use of movement to balance emotional, social, cognitive, cultural and physical well-being. It is a holistic, evidence-based therapeutic approach that draws from the fields of psychology, anatomy, movement dynamics, improvisation, creative practice and psychotherapy.
What is the goal of this group?
Our program aims to create a vibrant and supportive space where we can collectively explore and understand our emotions. By building emotional literacy, we empower ourselves and each other in meaningful ways. This initiative is not just about personal growth; it’s also a heartfelt contribution to our community. We warmly invite everyone to join us in this journey of connection and movement, as we discover new paths to enhance our well-being together.
