We ask: What are you letting go this season? What do you want to deepen? What nourishes you?We’ll dance with the breath, spine, and pelvis as centers of grounding and flow; legs/feet, arms/hands as extensions of direction and connection; the heart and belly as portals of emotion and intuitive knowing.In a welcoming space, we explore rooting, releasing, shifting, and connecting. Through movements imbued with softness, strength, and fluidity, we remember how to thrive with imagination and feeling.Together we practice with attention and care, meeting ourselves where we are and staying curious about what unfolds.At the end of the series, we 'll harvest insights with a community dance.Participants will leave with embodied nourishing practices for the autumn season.Open to all! No dance experience needed, only a willingness to explore.Please have a comfortable space to move and drawing and writing materials prepared.Workshops are for ages 18+ only and disability access is not provided.
