EMBODIED: Fall Sessions

One of my favourite programs to facilitate. Sometimes words are not enough.

For millenia, dance and ritual have been modes by which life communes with life. While dance ritual has largely been removed from our society, this class functions with similar purpose within a modern and diverse context: to process, to connect, to listen, to heal, to express, to create, to grieve, to celebrate, to bear witness, to be present.

About 95-97% of our emotions, thoughts, and beliefs are driven by our subconscious dynamics, and these dynamics are stored within the body and our neural pathways. Using mediums that help us engage with our subconscious material, and in this case directly consulting the body, can give us profound insight into authentic truths that might otherwise evade our conscious awareness.

This is primarily a dance experience, however no previous dance training is required. Sessions are held in-person may be interwoven with some art therapy activities and reflective writing. All movement is client-generated and process-based. We welcome bodies of diverse shapes and abilities.

There are intentionally no mirrors to support bringing attention to experience and connection based dance as opposed to results-based dance.

This location is in a residential address, so it may seem sketch at first, but I promise it's legit (it's not easy to find a large space with adequate flooring, enough room, no mirrors, available during the week, and that's affordable!)! Please see instructions for the address.
