On-line and in-person programs that offer a creative environment and connect you to a dedicated community of embodied movers
Therapy in Motion is a dynamic program that integrates many leading psychological concepts into an embodied movement methodology and vocabulary.
The theoretical grounding of a Therapy in Motion course includes:
It is scientifically proven that emotional intelligence, stability, and resilience are dependent upon, and reflective of, being present in the moment and being embodied. Evidence‐based embodied therapeutic practices demonstrate that the ability to tolerate strong emotions without dissociating is key to good mental health. Additionally, embodied emotional intelligence is vital for profound, lasting spiritual development.
Encounter is an exhilarating postmodern remix of the 60’s Encounter group, explored within Open Floor movement practice. It evolves out of Gestalt Awareness Practice, psychodrama, and somatic psychotherapy,
This video was made in 2002 nearly 20 years ago. At the time I was very engaged with the 5Rhythms Movement practice developed by Gabrielle Roth. The movement practice or movement language I now use is Open Floor. This historical expression of Open Floor has now evolved into Encounter work and Open Floor evolved into an International School of Embodied Practices. The structure of the Encounter work has continued as it is described in this video. I offer huge gratitude to Gabrielle Roth who was instrumental in providing me the support and opportunities to practice, that helped this form become so powerful.
From Birth to Death,
we are Sexual Beings
From the first cells that evolve into being to the deep surrender of a last exhale, our lifespan is infused with libido.
The vital energy of libido can be present in moments of deep play, a tender touch, a provocative piece of art, a sexy song, a mature gaze, the soothing voice of a poet, the sacred words of a mystic.
Dance can awaken the potent energy of your libido in ways that can be electrifying and sometimes overwhelming and confusing.
When this energy is acknowledged, supported, and expressed authentically and respectfully, the potential for healing is immense and powerful.
The Libido work is offered in a variety of formats, including a Fundamentals introductory weekend and ongoing groups that meet over a period of time.
Libido: Love of Life is a short film by the talented filmmaker and Libido On-going participant, Will Harris. Andrea Juhan and a large group of amazingly generous dancers and teachers dedicated themselves to sharing the richness they have found in this work. It is a beautiful look at a unique synthesis of dance and transformative movement practice.
