Habitual ways of moving, holding tension, and perceiving help us maintain a sense of stability in the world. What is present within our habit of attention?

During Motor Babbling, we will move as if for the first time, giving ourselves freedom to babble.Trying out different ways of experiencing movement within a low-stakes learning environment. Time and space to PLAY and renegotiate what it means to exist.

During The Spiral Dance we will invite our bodies to attune to the biomorphic tensegrity found within our fluids and fascia. We will offer our embodied awareness a chance to open into spaciousness with novel movement, sound, and vibration.

Three dancers heading away from the camera looking back with one arm reaching back hand up in a "stop" gesture. The background is blue with a pink grid on the floor. The dancers are wearing pointe shoes and little pink slips.

During Letting Go, Making Space we invite our bodies to soften and release armoring, bracing, and clenching patterns that we've taken on to cope with our environment. We will offer our embodied awareness a chance to open into spaciousness with novel movement and vibration.

Space in motion and in progress. Making shapes and coloring them in is incredibly therapeutic for me.

This Heart Thrum focuses on connecting to our hearts. We will use several sounds and breaths from Continuum and pranayama. Micro-movement and imaginal practice will guide us deeper into presence.
