As the year comes to a close and a new one begins, what would you like to shine a light on?

The winter solstice marks a sacred threshold—a pause between what has been and what is to come. It invites us to turn inward, slow down, and make space for renewal.

In this end-of-year workshop, we shift with the changing rhythms of the body. Through Movement Ritual and Dance Explorations, a somatic practice devised by Anna Halprin, we release what no longer serves us and reconnect to the deep wisdom of the body.

With heightened awareness, we attune to sensations, emotions, and images that invite inner clarity.

We’ll move through themes of descent and ascent—dances of falling and rising, resting and reawakening.

We’ll walk with intention to remember our resilience and the path we’ve traveled.

We’ll attune to the pulse of the heartbeat to awaken the inner light that lives in each of us.

At the end of the series, we’ll complete with a creative ritual honoring the gifts of both darkness and light.

You are invited to embody a longing, a vision, or a dream for the year ahead, a creative spark that wants to be lived into the new year.

No dance experience needed, only a willingness to explore. Please create a comfortable space to move and have writing and drawing materials on hand.

To get the most out of this online class, please prepare a comfortable space to move in with access to your online device and reliable internet service. If you are using a handheld device, such as a pad or phone, please be sure to use a stand for your device so that it is held securely in place. You will want to have your hands free and be able to move freely and safely during movement exercises without worrying about your device falling. Have art supplies ready at hand for the drawing activity and paper and pen for journaling and creative writing exercises.

Workshops are for ages 18+ only and disability access is not provided.
