New Year's Open Workshop for Women
Sunday, Jan 19, 1:30-6pm
Within this welcoming circle of women, we weave skill and confidence in navigating the places of body and soul that hold our challenges and our treasures, our losses and our liberation. We follow and commune with our inner-directed movement, sound, embodied memories and stories inviting and receiving support to sense, feel and express; to supportively witness ourselves, one another and our world; and to encourage and contribute our particular gifts. We celebrate and wrestle with the events and patterns which touch and engage us, and call us to respond, to learn and to grow.
All Levels - New and experienced movers & BTers - are Welcome!
