April Contemplating the Dark

A Sensual Movement Practice There is a part of you that is ready to be rediscovered and re-inhabited. It is below vision, words, or cognition. It is a place of movement and curiosity and sensation. It is where you will find your sense of connection and satisfaction. When you find it you will be more whole. You will move forward with resource and presence. We will take you to that place. We will give you the support and permission you need to cultivate the connection that you have between your mind and your body. Your soma will be ignited, fueling your engagement with the world. Contemplating the Dark is a practice where you will leave behind your separation and vision but not your choice or self care or self awareness. Damian your guide is grounded in his studies in somatics, bodywork, energy arts, perinatal psychotherapy, contact improvisation, Body Mind Centering, embryology, and neuroscience. This practice is inspired by the works of Barbara Dilley's Contemplative Dance Practice and Contacting the Dark. It is sensual but not sexual. It is practiced slowly, on the floor, in a group, with touch, and blindfolded. We do not allow sneakiness or groping. We take the need for emotional and physical safety seriously. Please - wear clothing that is easy to move and roll on the floor in. - be clean and unscented.
