About the Series

Reconnect with your body’s natural creativity in a welcoming space!

Join us in a movement and dance practice that invites us to listen to the body as a source of insight, healing, and creativity.

In the midst of ongoing change and uncertainty, embodied creative practices can help us feel resourced by restoring vitality, presence, and interrelatedness.

This series welcomes each person’s unique movement expression and lived experience. Rooted in curiosity and care, we cultivate a non-judgmental space for exploration.

Each session offers a supportive structure, including guided movement, creative expression, and reflection.

What We'll Explore

Working with Anna Halprin’s Integrative Dance approach, we engage our physical, emotional, and mental states of awareness.

Through the structure of Movement Ritual & Dance Explorations, each session focuses on a theme:

• Descending and ascending — sensing cycles of falling and rising in the body
• Rhythmic Pulsing — awakening vitality through rhythm and flow
• Relating to the Environment — moving in connection with space, surroundings, and one another

Creative expression and reflection

Using the tools of Tamalpa Life–Art Process, we integrate movement with drawing and writing to harvest meaning and insight from our experience.

Community

Participants will have opportunities to share discoveries through witnessing and being witnessed in a supportive and respectful environment.

Who This Is For

Open to all. No dance or art experience is required, only a willingness to explore!

Come as you are and discover what emerges.

What You'll Need

A comfortable space to move freely (including the floor and space around you)
Drawing and writing materials

Joy Cosculluela, RSME/T, is a performing artist and somatic educator whose work is inspired by Anna Halprin’s practice, the Tamalpa Life–Art Process, and a wide range of somatic, artistic, and contemplative traditions. She invites participants to explore dance, movement, creativity, and meaningful connection. Joy is the Artistic Director of Wayfinding Performance Group and Performance Lab SF, where she creates interdisciplinary performance exploring themes of belonging, ancestry, and land. Her practice weaves somatic movement, performance, ritual, and creative inquiry to illuminate embodied creativity and our relationships in this world.
