It invites us to turn inward, slow down, and make space for renewal.In this end-of-year workshop, we shift with the changing rhythms of the body. Through Movement Ritual and Dance Explorations, a somatic practice devised by Anna Halprin, we release what no longer serves us and reconnect to the deep wisdom of the body.With heightened awareness, we attune to sensations, emotions, and images that invite inner clarity.We’ll move through themes of descent and ascent—dances of falling and rising, resting and reawakening.We’ll walk with intention to remember our resilience and the path we’ve traveled.We’ll attune to the pulse of the heartbeat to awaken the inner light that lives in each of us.At the end of the series, we’ll complete with a creative ritual honoring the gifts of both darkness and light.You are invited to embody a longing, a vision, or a dream for the year ahead, a creative spark that wants to be lived into the new year.No dance experience needed, only a willingness to explore. Please create a comfortable space to move and have writing and drawing materials on hand.Workshops are for ages 18+ only and disability access is not provided.Joy Cosculluela, RSMR/MT (she/her) resides in the ancestral lands of the Ohlone people, otherwise known as SF Bay Area.
