Authentic Movement
The way we move and dance together influences the way we connect, feel and communicate in our lives.
Authenticity comes when your body, mind, and soul are singing the same song.
Bring awareness to the way you dance with life
I include authentic movement and dance connection in some NVC trainings, and wellbeing events . And it’s important to recognise that dance is not the aim of my work, it is a medium that supports us to come home to ourselves.
Your body is an essential aspect of who you are and how you show up in the world.
In our busy lives, we can become cut off from feeling the fullness of life.
Authentic movement can restore instinctive potential, to sense, to be intuitive, and feel connected with ourselves and others.
Some people love to dance, others feel embarrassed, maybe self-conscious and say things like “I can’t dance, I have no rhythm”. My experience is that people with both views say they feel the benefit of Dance Connection.
Exercises focus on increasing flexibility, regulating biology, centring and grounding our connection with the energy of life and the universal needs that present in each moment.
Enriching your movement vocabulary with dialogue dances, state awareness and stillness, releases endorphins and supports interoception and self expression.
Tracking movement and witnessing, expands kineasthic awareness and invites deep empathic presence and choice about how to respond to what is happening NOW, instead of reacting from past conditioning.
Connecting with your body’s natural sensing system is an opportunity for your mind, body, and soul to synch!
‘There is more wisdom in your body than in your deepest philosophies.’
Friedrich Nietzche
Embodiment
To be embodied, is to feel more connected to yourself, to nature and to others, to breathe, move, dance, express and sing; to be still and kind to yourself
It’s about feeling comfortable in your own skin.
My embodiment grew through engagement with NLP, NVC, Yoga, Reiki, Mindfulness, 5 Rhythms and my training as a Biodanza teacher and experiencing Authentic movement. It’s about tuning into ourselves, with somatic awareness and a curiosity about the way the body moves and the language it speaks – becoming the witness, increasing presence and authentic connection with ourselves and other people.
During the Covid-19 Lockdown 2020, Julia Hope Brightwell (who I met during a 3-year movement and dance teacher training) invited me to a conversation about developing a unique system. We pooled our experience and co founded Dance Connection. The dance pathway is crafted to restore homeostasis and flourish wellbeing.
You can book a conscious wellbeing event for your organisation.
