May Day: Somatic Movement Workshop

Concrete Garden

,Garden Room
Participants in a somatic movement workshop

Join artist Fernanda Muñoz-Newsome for a beginner-friendly somatic movement workshop exploring the awakening energies of Spring through sensory awareness, touch and guided movement.

Explore presence through moving into awareness in solo, relational and divinatory practices. In this session, we will work with grounding, moving and dropping into dancing through somatic enquiry and the practices of listening and actioning. Expect guided movement explorations, tuning sensory information, moving and witnessing and some contact/touch work.

We will take the renewing energies of Spring into our bodies and imaginations, being open to what unfurls. This is an invitation to listen deeply, move intuitively and witness gently.

This class is open to those wishing to enquire into both the known and unknown aspects of the body, as well as practitioners of movement and dance practices. No experience necessary - come as you are and use what is useful at your own pace.
