(In-person) Authentic Movement: Mindfulness-in-Motion

A 5-week Group Series – Mixed Level Class

Give yourself this time to settle within, and listen deeply to your own body wisdom.

This group is for those new to Authentic Movement, as well as those with previous experience in the practice. (Read more about Authentic Movement here.)

In this series, you’ll learn basics of the practice that allow you to move with both mindful awareness and a spontaneous responsiveness to your own inner impulses for movement and / or stillness.

In each session, you will have an opportunity to move, with time afterward for processing on your own through writing, drawing, or resting. We will then have a sharing circle, with each mover speaking first, followed by brief witness feedback provided by me. This is the journey of Authentic Movement, a form practiced by many since its development by Janet Adler and others (inspired by the work of founder Mary Starks Whitehouse in the 1950’s). We will open and close with a brief meditation.

This small, intimate group will be limited to 6 participants to support each participant in the practice.

Susan has practiced Authentic Movement since 1984, and has studied with Janet Adler, founder of the Discipline of Authentic Movement, in groups and individual work. Susan has facilitated Authentic Movement groups in the U.S. and Asia, and continues to be inspired by supporting others in this deep and rewarding experience as part of their own personal journey.
