Men in (E)motion

Intention: For a group of men to gather and drop in deeply, through movement, silence, sounds, and words. 4 Thursdays: Nov 16 (skip thanksgiving), Nov 30, Dec 7, 14. This space is reserved for male-identified bodies. You can expect centering, facilitated and improvisational movement, music/silence, authentic sharing, laughter, and tears. You can expect, in the moment to relate and develop awareness of stimulation both internally and externally. You will be asked: to slow down, open up, be honest about what is happening inside you, move, be still, be silent, and make sound. Series Structure: Classes will be creating group cohesion with light-facilitated contact concepts and practices with space to flow freely with the group and in the end, be able to share from the experience. Price: Sliding scale of $10-30/session. If you have any questions and/or are interested please DM us and/or ask on the event thread. See you on the dance floor!! Facilitators: Hunter Ball: Dancer, DJ, Co-Founder of New Moon Brotherhood. Hunter brings his embodied practice and passion for dance and movement as a way to understand himself more; needs, desires, boundaries, etc. Hunter has been leading groups of Men for over 3 years and has taught men's workshops at many different festivals across the country and the globe. His excitement is to combine these two parts of his life and believes that there is a lot to be learned on the dancefloor with other men. Michael Hurd: I first danced at a rave. "Drop till ya dance" was the motto. Eventually the 'supplements' became superfluous and I danced (improvisationally) every chance I got. When I found contact improvisation, music became optional also. I got a master's degree in counseling, did the Somatic Experiencing training, and have been a somatic therapist for a decade. NVC (aka compassionate communication) has been a big part of the path as well. Learning equally as often from failure as success, I love learning, growing and sharing that process with others.
