An Open Floor Retreat with Andrea Juhan, PhD
This journey is about co-authoring our lives alongside
the unpredictable universe, guided by the possibility of embodied potency,
power, and pleasure. Emotions and inner experiences find their voice in the
realm of movement. Sometimes, our feelings remain unspoken and unexpressed
because certain movement resources lie dormant within us, such as a strong
sense of center to help us love in the face of loss, or a sense of ground that
can help us stand up for ourself.
This workshop explores such latent movements, focusing on
the often-overlooked emotions of potency, self-agency, and pleasure—the
triumvirate of 'Hell Yeah!' feelings that signify capability, empowerment, and
joyous living. Many qualities of strength can be accessed through movement
practice, awakening the inner potency we need to manifest our desires.
We can learn to embrace our personal power without
causing harm and hold steady and curious in the face of disagreement or
disappointment. Simultaneously we can savor the profound pleasure that
accompanies authentic self-expression and courageous participation. Join us to
uncover the wisdom of movement in this transformative workshop.
