Authentic Movement is an inner self-directed somatic
practice. It is done with eyes closed, in silence and in the presence of at
least one witness. Through ‘body-mindful’ listening, participants follow
movement impulses, reawakening essential body wisdom and deepening empathy with
self and others. Simple in its form, the practice of Authentic Movement may
take you into journeys within the depths of your soul to heal and to awaken
your creative impulse. It is an opportunity to be present, and become aware; a
safe space to discover and let emerge who you are; there is a world within so
rich, that waits to be acknowledged, explored and expressed. At the same time,
this sacred time-space can become a doorway of connection with the unknown, the
numinous.
Authentic Movement is a practice that requires one to
live it in order to comprehend it. In this experiential encounter, there will
be a specific space-time for movement / stillness with the eyes closed. After
each exploration, there is additional space-time for the movers to use
journaling, drawing, clay, sound, or movement with open eyes, to integrate the
experience, before we share all together with words in our final circle.
