Creative Workshops
In this workshop, we engage in dance that connects us to our authentic Selves and the natural world around us. Our morning sessions will draw from the rich somatic principles of the Laban/Bartenieff Movement System, focusing on essential themes such as Breath Support, Dynamic Alignment, Core Support, Developmental Pattern Support, Rotation, Spatial Awareness, and Anatomical Understanding. Each topic will be examined through accessible and experiential movement activities, inviting participants to deepen their connection to both their bodies and the environment. This year the specific focus will be on getting more deeply in touch with our Intuition and find our Intention to live in a way we want.
