Somatic Movement & BrainDance Workshop 
Sunday   March 29  12-3pm  $45
with Jean Hindle, founder of Soma Yoga and Soma Yoga & Dance Studio
Freedom to Move, Freedom to Choose
Discover the amazing capacity of your nervous system for somatic releasing, resourcing and re-education.  
Somatic Movement Education re-awakens our inherent agility and expands our possibilities for moving effortlessly in all we do.  These slow, gentle movement explorations liberate us from layers of involuntary, habitual holding patterns.  Chronic tension patterns change as the body regains its innate ability to self-correct to ease and efficiency (neuromuscular re-patterning).  Change the way you move, change the way you live.  These movement awareness practices invite quiet mind, a deep unwinding and endless discovery.  We will also engage with more energetic moving with the BrainDance patterns.  This work stems from Somatic Unwinding, Hanna Somatics, the teachings of Moshe Feldenkrais, Alexander Technique, Skinner Releasing, developmental movement, BrainDance, Contemporary African & Afro-Brazilian Dance and my twenty six years as a somatic movement educator, dancer, yoga & meditation teacher.

Mar 1   April 5   May 3
Channel the power of your breath and movement to transform stuck energy and embody your power.
This is the fourth time this series is being offered.  We go deep!
About the Series
Your breath is a powerful bridge to your presence.  This series moves through four stages of breath related to the stages of healing.  Give yourself permission to be where the body calls you to be.  We often avoid spaces within ourselves that need our loving attention due to old fear-based patterns that accumulate in our lives.  These holding patterns may no longer serve us and often limit us from embracing our whole selves.  Each workshop invites you to embody presence with non-judgement and to develop your innate capacity for compassion and healing.
 - Enhance body awareness and connectivity
 - Develop new healthy patterns for your body, heart, mind
 - Harvest resources from within to inspire your personal and artistic life
 - Cultivate self-compassion and acceptance

Death, Disease and the Myth of the Fountain of Youth
Join therapist Heather Stringer with rituals addressing our mortality, our genetic inheritance and the cultural myths we have absorbed about aging.  Together we will find meaningful actions to disarm the fear of death and face it with courage.  We'll release generational relationships around dying and disease that we have carried as daughters and sons. 
We will break down the Fountain of Youth Myth and learn to celebrate our bodies as they are.
The Myth of the Fountain of Youth: dismantling the fetishism of youthfulness and celebrating
our bodies just as they are.   sunday   January 12   10:00am -12:00pm
Family History: releasing generational relationships with disease and dying.  TBA
Facing Death: engaging our fears around mortality.  TBA
each ritual is $25
