Dance and movement

Expressive dance and movement - moving without form or choreography - can be a practice of great freedom and integration. You will learn to listen to and give shape to your inner experience, and explore connecting with others and the world around you, leading to greater resilience, congruency and flexibility as you move through your life. 

Some retreats use music, others focus on inner listening or inspiration from the natural world to shape your dance. No experience of dance or movement is required, only a willingness to explore your experience in the body you are in. Alongside moving together we will meditate, hear Buddhist teachings and experience simple Buddhist ritual. 

These retreats include practices informed by conscious dance, Authentic Movement, Butoh, somatic movement, clowning and improvisation. For more information on each teacher’s influences and training see each individual retreat.
