About this Event

This is an improv/freestyle dance and art form designed to embrace our grief and shadows. In a safe, non-confrontational way we begin allowing ourselves to see and feel that which we have rejected and embrace it in acceptance and non-judgment. We start with dancing and stretching, lifting the weight of expectations placed on us, followed by tapping and using sound to give birth to that which is usually held silent within us.
Though there can be discomfort in allowing yourself to bring to light that which is continually pushed away, there is empowerment in knowing it will change. The dance involves befriending and accepting what is ready to be released. At the end of our dance, we draw and color what was brought forth. This gives a visual representation of the work you have put in, furthering the acceptance you have created for yourself. We finalize in a circle for those who would like to share their experience.
Please bring a water bottle and any comfort item (blanket, sweater, pillow, stuffed animal) to help you feel supported and grounded in the reflection of art making and the warmth of circle.
