Authentic Movement

Authentic Movement is an expressive, contemplative movement practice involving movers and witnesses that allows participants a type of free association of the body. For both the mover and the witness, work is concentrated in the development of the inner witness. With eyes closed, movers listen to and follow an inner impulse to move in the presence of an accepting witness. Movement may arise from sensation, imagery, memory, thought, and/or direct experience. This practice supports individuals to align with and move from an intuitive, aligned state in the presence of another, strengthening their ability to track embodied experience, and practicing self-referencing speech as a means of bringing consciousness to their body’s wisdom. Through this form of deep listening and conscious speaking, we literally return to our senses, reawakening our innate knowing of our own unique experience of Wholeness - a return to our Soul and to God/Spirit - which together are the source of our intuition.

In these groups, we co-create a safe space, honoring the profound gift of each person present and the embodied expression of both personal and collective that are available to come through. We begin each session checking in, briefly discussing the practice and then exploring the rich landscape of listening to our inner impulses to move. 

• A simple yet profound practice for deep listening and connection 

• An opportunity to slow down and be with direct inner experience 

• A safe space to move and express freely without judgment or limitation

• An invitation to explore our relationship to being seen & supported unconditionally

• An increased understanding of our habitual patterns and "authentic" movement impulses 

• An opportunity to deepen our ability to differentiate between personality, Soul & Collective
