Coming Home to Ourselves Through the Body 2025 - Rhizome Springs - Salt Spring Island, Canada

This intensive is for movers, dancers, body workers, therapists and is open to anyone with basic experience of movement, dance and/or bodywork.

The program is 14 days with the possibility of doing only the first week (7 days) if 2 weeks is not possible.

Working with our own intentions/personal inquiry and desire to heal/change something for ourselves, we draw from various somatic practices to help unearth and express our greatest potential and integrate meaningful change. We will give tools and practices to integrate the insights and discoveries of the workshop back into our lives.

We utilize the somatic practices of contact improvisation, improvisational dance, authentic movement, visionary craniosacral, bodywork, breath work and interaction with nature to support this voyage of coming home to ourselves through our bodies.

We will explore the play between the acrobatic/subtle, active/receptive qualities of being and dancing. We open a space for healing and nurturing the unseen, unknown and secret places within the Self and celebrate subtle power, clarity and expansion. We use dance and related techniques to let the bodies speak, to physicalize content and to embody wisdom from within. Meditations and visualizations clarify our intent, bodywork and somatic investigations support our integration. We work with solo, partnering and group processes.

The workshop is within a frame of the context of our larger lives and connects with deeper longings that yearn to be known and manifested. We will give tools and practices to take the insights and discoveries of the workshop back into our lives.
