Exploring Playful Somatics

Wanna play?!

When life feels overwhelming, weighty and serious, sometimes embracing the flow of sincere silliness can be surprisingly transformative. And you may find the body (in its multitude of forms) can be better at processing the stuff of life than the mind!

We will explore the world(s) of playful somatics, combining simple exercises from improv, clown, radical undoing bodywork and elsewhere to explore how play, dance, meditative movement and natural expression can release tension, open up awareness, and (re)connect us with our creativity and intuition in new ways.

Adaptations will be provided for different levels of mobility, and the workshop will embrace the possibilities of how our own bodies (and minds) meet these invitations. All varieties of body-minds and levels of experience welcome!
