About this Event
SENSITIVE
A monthly dance and co-regulation space for Highly Sensitive People. At Jacksons’ Lane Arts Center (Studio 1).
This event is a conscious dance and co-regulation space for Highly Sensitive People. (Or people who simply need a gentle space right now.)
It is a space to resource our bodies and spirits through dance, movement, music, and optional solo art making or consensual physical connection.
Approximately 20% of the population has a highly sensitive nervous system. Meaning that sensory input, like groups with loud activating music, can often be overwhelming for them.
This event aims to cater for the needs of sensitive people. So that group connection and dancing can feel good.
This is a space where all of your needs around your sensitivity - whether sensory, physical or energetic - are understood and welcome.
It is also a space where we attune to the underlying field that exists in the space between each of us, and the wisdom and emergence that lives there.
This event restores our body’s Yin energy, in contrast to the city’s Yang.
It is held in the beautiful and large main event space (studio 1), at Jackson’s Lane Arts’ Center, with a maximum of 30 participants to ensure lots of space for movement.
What to expect from this event:
- 30 mins of facilitated space at the beginning of the event that drop the group into group regulation and cohesion.
- Two hours of open, self-led dance and co-regulation space.
- Different ‘zones’ where you can explore different forms of movement and connection, including solo dance, partnered dance, an art making corner, physical co-regulation, or space to be alone - all within your consent and moment-to-moment choice.
- An emergent space that works with what is currently alive in the room and between participants.
- A nervous system and trauma informed space.
- A closing circle to land and speak anything that needs to be spoken.
- A restorative, yin space.
