authentic movement
Authentic Movement is a gentle form of creative expression that combines body awareness with improvisational movement.
It is a practice of listening and attunement; slowing and opening to a deeper sensing of body and essence. Because this is a sense-felt experience difficult to convey with words, the feedback I often get  is “just come to check it out!”
However, I do like this practitioners description of it.

Testimonials
​

Authentic Movement is unique in my experience: both meditative and expressive at once, in a safe and beautiful space. I never know where the exploration will take me but wherever I am when I arrive, I end up settled into my body and spirit, deeply connected both to myself and to the other women in the group. It's a weekly oasis from the clatter of the outside world.

My first authentic movement workshop stirred me subtly, gently, and deeply. Never before had I considered how blindly I have related to others and my self in the process of connection. As someone who highly values deliberateness and authenticity in word and action, intentionally subtracting vision and words in witnessed movement allows for a delicious new set of sensations that really encourage one to consider, "How do I actually show up?" Widely accessible in principle and practice, this technique feels appropriate for anyone who wants to explore new ways of being present with self in groups. 10/10 recommend. Feeling shy or hesitant? Bring a friend!
