About this Event

Discover the Wisdom of Your Body in Relationship with Nature.


Curious about somatic practices and how they might transform your relationship with your body and the natural world?
This class will be a gentle approach to movement, removing the illusion of separateness from nature, drawing inspiration from mama Earth. Serena will guide you through different somatic dance scores so that you can freely move and find your inner artist- be curious, be creative, be playful. Open to all levels.
What to Expect
In this nurturing class, you'll:
- Experience gentle guided movement explorations that connect your body's wisdom with natural patterns and rhythms
- Discover how eco-somatics can help release built up tension (mental and physical) and soothe your nervous system
- reclaim joy, play, and inner child expression in a non high pressure and supportive environment

Wear comfortable clothes you can move freely in.
