About Opening Circle:

Beneath Contact is a relational movement experience that harmonizes body, mind and spirit through trauma-informed contact improvisation exercises.Following a lesson on attachment theory, we focus on supporting boundaries, initiating contact, building connections, and regulating our nervous systems.Through dynamic partner games, we explore the imbalance of leading and following, saying yes and no, and cultivating energetic integrity individually and within the community.Together, we create a space for authentic expression, transforming attachment styles into liberation through mindful exchanges of contact.


About our DJ’s/Musician:Hunter & Matthew’s lifelong passion for music guides us on a journey through genre that will evoke deep feeling, laughter, sensual awareness and help to arouse the ecstatic being within. To heal. To feel. To renew.
