SYDNEY Movement as Medicine

Embodiment sucks. It can also be delicious. 

Illness and pain can interfere with our capacity to enjoy our bodies. This workshop is a journey of exploratory self-care, incorporating yoga, massage, dance, self-pleasure, breathwork and meditation. Learn how to create a sustainable routine that honours and nurtures your bodies unique needs, opening your pathways to pleasure.

What to Expect: A guided movement meditation exploring breath, touch, movement and sound. We’ll be using music to activate the body and deepen the journey. This is an opportunity to try a range of different techniques and see what works for you. 

Benefits: Learn the core structure of an versatile self care practise that can adapt to your bodies needs on any given day. Explore a range of movement practises. Connect with embodied emotion in a framework of compassionate self love Learn how to hear the voice of your body, its needs and desires. Connect with community in a space of vulnerability and compassion. 

Who is this workshop for? This practise has been developed within a framework of chronic illness. As such there will be no expectations for your body to look, feel or move in a particular way. Whilst it’s been designed as a safe and supportive movement space for those with chronic illness, this gentle practise will be restorative for anyone with a painful body who is seeking a sustainable movement practise. 

What to wear and bring: Wear something comfortable for movement. Bring a water bottle and feel free to bring an extra cushion or blanket for cosiness.

NEW TICKETING STRUCTURE TRIAL

We're trialling a sliding scale community access option to support those in the community who may not be able to afford a full price ticket. There is no upper limit on this ticket, so if you feel like subsidising those who purchase 'lower priced tickets, or giving a little extra to the facilitator to support us, this is your option!

We believe in both accessibility for the community, as well as making sure our facilitators are paid appropriately for their erotic / intellectual labours, so this is our solution to hold space for both with a minimum of fuss! Enjoy this social experiment, and we'd love your feedback.

5% of ticket sales are donated to charitable organisations. We are currently contributing to Medecins Sans Frontiers and Children’s Ground.

ACCESSIBILITY

The venue is up one flight of stairs. Once inside the venue, bathroom utilities are down three steps. We apologise for our accessibility limitations. Please enquire to sacredprimalarts@gmail.com if you have any more accessibility questions.
