🐞The first Creative Movement Gathering session will be on this Sunday 7 Jan 11-12:30 💃🕺
Booking: https://app.punchpass.com/org/5084/classes/14402066
🌼After the Feb class I will be taking a break- so 2 more classes!

🐞Monthly Creative Movement Gathering offers a safe, non-judgemental space for us to consciously connect to our bodies, and express ourselves and explore relational dynamics and seasonal/timely themes through spontaneous, creative movement.

🐞The class is guided through Warm-Up, Movement Exploration (main part), and Closure/Sharing at the end. Warm-Up is a good place to slowly start getting in touch with our bodies and noticing body-felt sensations. For the Movement Exploration, we let our bodies guide us. The course of the activity is adjusted according to the needs of the participants. Music will be there to assist movement and props and/or drawings can be incorporated depending on the process of the sessions. Closure/Sharing circle is an important space for everyone to come together and reflect on what has happened in the session, as well as acknowledging “where we are at” at the end of the session.

You may move alone, with someone else, and with the whole group.
You can join within your physical mobility limits and there is no need for previous dance experiences or dance skills.

🐞This class is for those who are interested in/seeking the opportunities to
• get in touch with their bodies and spend more body-oriented time

• body-based, reflective practice

• express themselves creatively

• take time to self-care

• explore various ways in relating/connecting to others

• develop positive relationship to their bodies

• look after their emotional wellbeing

• discover the creativity that may have been waiting to come out

• authentic exchange with others and shared joy

🐞This class is facilitated using Dance Movement Therapy approaches.

This Sunday!

○Things to consider

This class is not a therapy session but facilitated using Dance Movement Therapy approaches. Spontaneous movement exploration could trigger materials that are stored deep in our unconscious. Although our diverse emotional experiences are valued and held in the space, it is advised to attend with this in mind. Please contact me in advance to discuss if you have any mental health concerns.
