Based in the practices of Movement Medicine
This course will be an opportunity to come together online, to dance, to share — and to ultimately become more embodied, anchored, and centered in your body and your truth as you move through life.
We will create a safe space together, learn tools and techniques through experiential practices designed to help you create more freedom and expression in your everyday life. The aim of the course is to equip you to move through the world with more presence, better boundaries, more resilience, and better connection to your own wisdom and knowing.
The outline of the group’s 3 modules are as follows

Trunk – Your own capacity to be present in the world

Branches – Expanding out into the world and into connection
