Moving into community
'Moving into community' is a series of workshops
and initiatives that creatively combine 'body work' with 'group process'
work and is an ongoing exploration in inviting collective wisdom and
community into groups - integrating the mind, body & spirit.
This work draws inspiration from
many places but is particularly influenced by the ancient spiritual
tradition of ecstatic dance woven with a modern understanding of the
psychology of groups and how energy moves within groups.
Sharing our
words without grounding ourselves in our bodies doesn't always work
and sharing ourselves through dance alone can leave so much
hidden from view.
After dancing, so much less needs
to be said...by speaking from the heart we allow our deepest selves to
flow into the dance. Both the dance and our words are tools to do the
same thing - to connect with ourselves and others.
Using the tools of community
building and the body, we can follow the music, the body
and the breath into an individual and collective emptiness - into
which the spirit of community can be invited.
