Alchemy of the Elements - Dance Movement Therapy

Alchemy of the Elements - Earth, Water, Fire, Air 

By attuning to the qualities of the natural world, you experience a felt-sense between body and mind. Cultivate personal growth through sensory awareness and connect your intrinsic link to nature.

Each element offers unique challenges to our self-perception, encouraging us to question our internal and external choices. Recognizing the transient nature of all things, we find freedom in the rhythm of breath, movement, and being.
