Therapeutic Movement/Dance and Mindfulness-based Groups
Customized
Therapeutic Groups for adults and young adults who are experiencing diverse challenges.
In a safe and supportive environment,
participants use conscious movement/dance, music and other expressive arts. No
experience is needed, all activities are gently guided where each person
is invited to participate to their level of comfort.
Groups foster a space where participants feel nourished, rejuvenated and find joy. The goals are to increase self-esteem and self-love, decrease stress and build community.
