SUBSTRATA / FORMING A SUSTAINABLE BODY
SOMATIC MOVEMENT & IMPROVISATIONAL DANCE FOR THERAPISTS

Forming a sustainable body requires tools for self-renewal. The substrata of your body are systems in motion. Aligning yourself with the substrate systems of your body allows you to find ease and support in motion. We will explore our bodies as systems in motion in order to uncover our native energetic resiliency and resources. Recognizing the essential interconnection between our individual and collective bodies, practices of mutual exchange including tools for supportive witnessing will be emphasized.

The structure of each session will include a warm-up based in yoga, developmental movement, sensory awareness, release/contact improv vocabulary, and body-mind centering® principals.  We will transition into open movement practices that focus on holding an intentional space for you to listen more deeply within your whole body-mind-spirit through dance and movement. You may experience benefits of this practice whether you are new to dance or you are an experienced dancer.

The benefits of this practice include:

·       Learning how to nourish and renew through movement
·       Connecting your movement with process to link sensation,         emotion and image
·       Discovering your energetic equilibrium between input and         output
·       Attuning with the substrate systems in your body to find         ease and resiliency
·       Joining in community for witnessing and support
