Authentic Movement Workshop
Remember how to feel. Authentic Movement provides a simple structure for connecting with our body’s inward experience and expressing it outwardly through movement—a gentle, self-guided practice that everyone (people of all bodies, abilities, and backgrounds) can do; no dance or movement experience is required. Integrate the many layers of your feeling being by letting your body guide the way. This 6-week series is designed for beginners though open to people with any level of experience. Pay-what-you-can (suggested $60-80). Register here.
