Somatic Workshop: Building Bridges of Emotional Connection

We invite you to experience an conscious dance and somatic movement workshop on Sunday, October 27: 
"Building Bridges of Emotional Connection".

Join this immersive experience designed to deepen your connection to yourself, others, and the world. This workshop blends conscious dance, somatic practices, authentic movement and creative/art techniques to explore vulnerability, authenticity, and the power of being truly seen. By engaging in mindful movement, we rediscover our authentic selves, connect to the rhythms of our nervous system, and unlock patterns of tension, finding new paths to peace and well-being.

What to Expect (more detailed agenda would be published later):
- Morning Session: Opening circle, azul conscious dance, authentic movement and other exercises focusing on self-connection. Contemplative practices including drawing and journaling.
 - Lunch break.
 - Afternoon Session: Partner and group exercises, exploring connections with others, drawing/joiurnaling, sharing reflections.
- Closing: Integration and a closing circle to reflect on experiences.

Throughout the day, participants will explore how the way we move reflects the way we live, using the body as a guide to uncover deeper truths and foster a sense of unity and belonging. This journey provides a safe space for being yourself and expressing your true nature, where all interactions and connections are facilitated within a guided framework and with full consent. The practices are designed to delve deeply into subconscious layers, allowing participants to identify and reflect on images, thoughts, beliefs, fears, and emotions. Participants will sense through the nervous system and body, gaining clarity on what deeper connection feels like.

"The way we move is the way we live, and through mindful movement, we can rediscover our authentic selves." — Thomas Hanna

"Movement connects us to the present moment, to ourselves, and to the world around us, fostering a sense of unity and belonging." — Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen

"Through somatic awareness, we can decode the messages of our nervous system and re-pattern our connections to self and others." — Dr. Pat Ogden

Join us on a journey towards greater self-awareness, connection, and joy!

What to bring/wear: 
- Wear comfortable clothing suitable for movement. You can dance in non-slippery socks or barefoot. 
 - Please avoid or minimize perfume use, as strong scents can be distracting or uncomfortable for some participants. 
 - Bring water to stay hydrated.
 - You can bring your art (drawing/painting/sculpting) supplies, if you want. Basic materials will be provided.

What is Azul conscious dance? 
Azul conscious dance is a practice of deep listening and authentic movement. It's not about performing or looking good; it's about tuning into your body's natural rhythms and expressions. Whether you find yourself moving freely or engaging in subtle, internal movements, this practice is all about embracing what feels true for you in the moment. It’s an exploration that is freeing, fun, and deeply relaxing, allowing you to reconnect with your authentic self.
