Authentic Movement
Mon September 13 at 2:45pm
Authentic movement, is a movement practice which offers delicious freedom to move or be still, dance or play in large space with others. Participants trust the inner wisdom of the body and psyche to lead them to their own experience in the moment. This practice tends to give insight into life’s core issues. There will be time for sharing of one’s experiences, as desired. Time for writing and drawing will also be included.
Annabel Grote , MA, studied improvisational modern dance with Hedy Tower for many years. In order to keep experiencing the body, mind, spirit integration and expressiveness which comes from unstructured movement, she practices and teaches Authentic Movement. She is certified in Motional Processing©, a process of holistic integration through creative expression, created by Alice Rutkowski based on the work of Anna Halprin. Annabel holds an MA degree in Counseling Psychology, is a Reiki Master and maintains a private counseling and Reiki practice.
