Movement Workshop in NYC on April 26th

Dear community,

I am delighted to share this offering with my NYC community with the hope that this energy expands and flows wherever it needs to over time.  

As part of the Hearth liberation lab I’ve been in for a year now, I am bringing forth the dream for a healing space based on authentic movement. I deeply believe in the power of movement that originates from spirit and allows emotional expression to be deeply integrative and healing. 

I will be offering this workshop on Saturday April 26th from 3-4:30pm on Lenape lands in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. There will be movement prompts offered to music, on yoga mats, and plenty of space around us to move off the mat as well. All movement prompts are suggestions, and all participants are always at choice about how to respond to those prompts, and encouraged to move in ways that feel self-responsive. You may be seated, lying down, standing, or moving around - or flow between states as you feel throughout this time.

I come from a dance theater background at the core of which is movement for the purpose of story-telling. We are here to let our bodies express our stories. Motion is as much a part of that story, as is stillness. Our lives are unfolding in community, and we can find our solitude while sharing space as well. We can grieve in community and we can find love, joy, and liberation in community. At the end of the workshop we have a few minutes of collective debrief and individual reflection. I believe each person who comes will offer their own magic and medicine, and together, we will create something unique that emerges out of our collective abundance & needs in that moment.

"Healing is the unification of all our forces -- the powers of being, feeling, knowing, and seeing. Once your body surrenders to movement, your soul remembers its dance."
—Gabrielle Roth, dancer, musician and founder of the 5Rhythms approach to movement for healing.
