SCHEDULE : "ON THE ROAD" WORKSHOPS

Dance Your Way to Healing

What if joy was a molecule of emotion that circulates through our bodies? What if joy were an energy that lives within our hearts? What if the joy that we seek outside ourselves lives dormant within our body and individually we can awaken this dormant joy through movement? Scientific research points us to this reality that joy lives within our bodies.

We often seek to experience joy outside of ourselves with mixed results. We strive for happiness through things we do, such as going on a vacation, connecting with friends, eating favorite foods, playing a game or sport, landscaping the garden. Or we acquire things such as a new partner, new music, art, clothes, jewelery, gadgets, and wealth.  All these activities are pointing us back to our bodies as the container for the joy we seek outside ourselves.

In this workshop, we will learn to unpack the body’s inherent capacity for joy and awaken joy through movement and dance. You will be guided in a safe and freeing process that allows your inner dancer to emerge and you will discover moments of moving with joy.

In addition, we will explore a creative and mindful way to work with the many moments in our lives and bodies in which we feel the opposite of joy: feelings of frustration, isolation, envy, depression, anxiety, and the many more difficult feelings we and our clients face.
No previous experience in dance or movement is required for this workshop. The only pre-requisite is your willingness to have fun.
