About this event
The Earth is our first partner. It is always there to support us & catch us. By giving time to sink into stillness, while using the breath as a tool to drop tension from the body & release into the floor, we cultivate internal space & discover new movement possibilities from a place of tuned attention & open curiosity. Through letting go & yielding to gravity, the body can find easy strength & soft structure. This approach - emerging from somatics & the study of developmental movement patterns - requires patience & deep listening. Sometimes it may feel like we are 'doing nothing' & this can be challenging at first. But going slowly opens a greater capacity for the body to absorb new information: a practice of un-doing; releasing to re-learn. Slowing down, we begin to sense the sliding of fascia, the rolling of the organs, the flowing of liquids through the body. Then, when we enter physical connection with another person, we have a softer body tone, allowing greater sensitivity & awareness.
