With a focus on awareness and creativity, anyone is welcome to deepen their connection with their body and experience the joy of movement. Sometimes, with eyes closed, lying and moving on the ground, use vocalisation and visualisation techniques or hands-on touch (if preferred) to meet and explore our relationship with our anatomical structures and body systems. This creative process allows us to explore movement, space, our own creativity, while relating to others and the environment.

Throughout this journey, we apply movement approaches rooted in Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen’s Body-Mind Centering® , engaging with the body’s living systems and consciousness in an embodied exploration.

With Dani, we will explore processes like metamorphosis and phenology—meaning we will observe and learn from the natural patterns and cycles in plants and animals that repeat over time. Through gentle movement and embodied awareness, we will tune into these subtle signals from the natural world, helping us feel more connected to its rhythms and learn to move in harmony with them.
With Dia, we will focus on themes such as emergence and belonging, using movement as a way to explore how new aspects of ourselves come into being and how we find our place within the bigger picture. This embodied approach will deepen our sense of connection to ourselves and to the ecosystems—both natural and social—that we are part of, facilitating a sense of rootedness and flow.
With plenty of opportunities for reflection and exploration, these sessions can help to support the body-mind agility and resilience, and develop our sense of embodied ecology. During the sessions we are all responsible for creating a safe and inclusive space where everyone feels welcomed and comfortable. This session takes a person-centered approach, integrating personal processes with the offered exploration.

Please wear comfortable clothes and layers (including waterproof ones, something we don't mind if it will get a little muddy) to adapt to the possible changes in weather. If the weather becomes disruptive, we can use the indoor space (Studio). Feel free to bring your water, snacks, and a notebook if you'd like to make notes or draw during the session.

It would be great if we could arrive a few minutes before the session begins, to ensure we can start on time and make the most of our time together. Thank you very much for your cooperation!

Please come through the main door, someone or myself will be there to open the door. If the door is closed please ring either the STUDIO bell.

Brief descriptions of each session:

31st July: with Dia and monica we explore emergence and lineage through embodied writing and movement, connecting with cellular fluids and early movement patterns. Together, we nurture intuitive movement and collective awareness within the natural environment.

14th August: With dani and monica we engage in practices of metamorphosis, attuning to the rhythms of life through breath and movement. This session supports personal transformation and ecological resonance.

28th August: Focus on belonging and spiral movement to deepen your connection to yourself others and the more-than-human. Facilitated by Dia and monica, it cultivates rootedness and embodied integration.

11th September: Align with natural cycles and phenology throgh yielding and reaching, supporting spinal fluids and embodied resilience. Led by Dani and monica, this practice facilitate attunement to life's subtle rhythms.

25th September: Participate in a collective practice lab on shared exploration and embodied awareness. Dani, Dia, and monica together facilitate space for deepening community connection within the web of ecological life. Optional and if collectively wished it will be a small sharing - gathering with friends and family of participants.

The Body-Mind Centering® (BMC®) is an approach to embodied movement and consciousness, it is an ongoing, experiential journey into the alive and changing territory of the body. The explorer is the mind - our thoughts, feelings, energy, soul, and spirit. Through this journey we are led to an understanding of how the mind is expressed through the body in movement.' by Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen
