Make your holiday plans now for Tenderness at the Heart of the Dance, a Soul Motion retreat with Zuza & Scott Engler, happening Dec 21-27 at the Esalen Institute in Big Sur, CA!

“Zuza creates a magic space for the participants which is rooted in her big heart and seems to expand endlessly into the open sky! She is a truly trustworthy leader who is walking (dancing) her talk.”  ~ Romana Tripolt

Soul is flow. It’s an ever-changing play of sensations and feelings. It’s how the deathless presence meets and moves our finite human body.

In this workshop, we will reclaim the body-in-motion as a doorway to the life unfolding just under the surface of everyday forgetting.

A formless dance form, Soul Motion® allows for passionate, full-bodied movement as well as mindful inner explorations, art-making, ritual, and luscious lounging.

Together, we will integrate conscious movement, body-based inquiries of Gestalt Practice, and the stillness of nature for a process to transform body, heart, and spirit.

Soul Motion is a meeting between self and other in a dance that is deeply creative, nourishing, and transforming.

It is a movement toward the dynamic stillness at the center of all things — the place of rest at the heart of sound and motion.

“The dance is my refuge– the inner temple as an eternal sanctuary always to return to. The more comfortable I feel in the solo dance the more alive I am with others. I feel as if when I am facing the unknown in my life there is a force I can depend on.”
