Connect with the world inside and around
Experiencing how body, mind and environment come together in movement
About The Explore Practice
The Explore Practice spans from the physical to the reflective, each session, class or workshop offering varying degrees of each.
The Explore sessions are guided group sessions in which you move and connect with the world inside and around you. Recurring elements of the practice are:
- grounding and connecting with the floor
- selfmassage
- exploring and landing in the space inside and around
- shaking
- movement research and free movement
With music and through movement we tap into the continuous flow of energy that we share. With curiosity we allow ourselves to listen to what is already there. While observing and reflecting on hidden judgements, expectations, and other ways in which we may hold ourselves back from feeling safe and free to express, we come closer to what we need in the moment.
So that eventually, we leave the sessions feeling more free, more connected, empowered, and more at home in our bodies and with each other.
Because of the safe environment I was able to really get out of my head and into my body
