CULTIVATE - Movement Medicine with Internal Family Systems

CULTIVATE is an invitation to till the soil of your somatic intelligence and dancing self, to deepen your understanding of how your system communicates within and beyond you.

Weaving Internal Family Systems (IFS) with Movement Medicine, we grow a particular somatic and systemic wisdom that nurtures kindness and understanding alongside agency and freedom of expression. Dancing to surrender ourselves to the intelligence of our awake moving bodies, allowing the self energy of the spirit of the dance to expand and nourish us.

We will then move into embodied IFS practice, so parts of us that are ready to come and dance can be welcomed, understood, and offered care and appreciation. Thereby supported to grow from compulsion towards choice, from overwhelm and overstretch towards capacity and courage.

Drawing on the resource of our dancing village to collectively cultivate ease and connection over activation and separation. Through giving space and permission for the aliveness of our own nature while tending to the living landscape of life around and between us.

This is an opportunity to be genuinely nourished, by movement, by music, by the simple and profound experience of being in good company. So that when we return to our lives, we carry with us a little more resilience, a little more capacity, a little more of ourselves.

If those who have more contribute more, this helps make the workshop accessible to dancers with less money. Please consider the wider context and use your integrity in choosing what amount you pay. Thank you.
