BEING BODY

A new weekly, 55 minute live Zoom class on Sundays, starting October 6th

A weekly online gathering that offers space to be still and ground, to move and dance, and journey into your unique body and being.

This creative work blends a variety of acting methods and improv with ancient Buddhist teachings, somatic inquiry and Jungian dream work. The class is open to anyone, whether or not we’ve worked together before.

For the past 20 years I have immersed myself in somatic work, meditation, diamond approach inquiry, teaching shamanic dance, improvisational singing, empowered voice and yoga. These modalities have helped me refine a technique for uncovering the rich hidden world that lies within each of us.

When the somatic memory in our body tissue wakes up, it releases what is stagnant and gives life to the character, or the song, the painting, or the poem. By allowing our inner life to show us the way, we revive our inspiration and deeply ground into our purpose.

The practices I have learned and created have also been essential to my health and wellbeing as an artist.

I know they will be for you as well.

I have heard from many students that they have really benefited from placing attention on honouring and supporting an inner work structure to allow for great outer work in our world.

BEING BODY is a 55min weekly class that offers space to be still and ground, to move, listen and dance, and journey into your unique body and being.

I am in a place in my life where I want to be living/working/being in my whole self. Have those things line up in what I choose to put my energy towards.
This class, meeting you and all these glorious people has truly changed my perspective on myself and I can feel this space kinda open up around me…it’s such a beautiful gift. It’s a feeling I wish for everyone.
