Questions and Answers

What are Moving Sanctuary classes like? 

There are no structured steps to movement. Instead, a non-judgmental space is co-created where we are invited to move freely, following our own movement as it unfolds from within. Guidance is offered to help us connect with our embodied selves, each other, and find our dance. No past experience with dancing is needed to participate.

Moving with awareness, compassion and in this authentic way can allow one to find more grounding, ease, let go of stress and the busy mind, reconnect with one's body and embodied self, and allow a natural transformation to take place. 

Depending on the class/workshop, movement explorations and embodiment practices are offered to support participants in learning skills to find more grounding, allow the nervous system to find more rest and balance, find greater connection with one's body, tap into the wisdom within, understand oneself better, hear the desires of your heart and deeper being, find more clarity and confidence, connect with inner wholeness, unconditional value and the sacred, dance into greater freedom, expression and connection with self, others, and Life. 

Music accompanies our journey and ranges from slower to faster, more energetic rhythms. 

Participants are encouraged to go at their own pace, adapting the activities offered to suit their needs. There are invitations to move in your own space as well as to move with others. 

Expressive arts including drawing and journaling, as well as opportunities to share in small and larger groups, offer opportunities to process your experience and to learn from each other.

The following teachings influence the content of the offerings: Dance Movement Therapy, Soul Motion, Azul Conscious Dance, 5Rhythms, Authentic Movement, Mindfulness, Sensory Awareness.

Please be in touch with any questions or feedback.

I look forward to the movement journey with you.

Warmly,
