About this Event
*****Underbelly: The Art of Slowing Down is now expanding to NYC! *****
Born in the Bay Area in 2018, Underbelly is a non-verbal, somatic meditation & movement practice immersed in music for a slower body.
It is a response to the loss of slowness and spaciousness in our dominant culture which survives on speed keeping problematic, oppressive, and destructive systems in place at the cost of our well-being and planetary health. It's time to dismantle the hurry and reclaim our slow in a fast and overwhelming world.
We prioritize and center the nervous system, emotional metabolization, nourishment, boredom, living in the questions, complexity, rest, listening, communion, and attuned relationship over modernity’s urgency, linearity, transaction, instant gratification, polarization, addiction to consumption, and incessant stimulation. It is a practice that doesn't tell or precisely instruct, but gives people permission to explore outside of prescribed habits, settle into their natural rhythms, and allow their innate pacing to unfold through deeper listening/yielding vs. pushing/controlling/imposing.
There is ample time and space to exist in truer presence with one another, giving rise to our somatic and subtle body intelligence. We incrementally and progressively nourish the foundational fabric of our humanity and strengthen the connective tissue of how we relate as it is disappearing with lonelienss on the rise and technology swiftly changing our brains.
Voyage beneath the surface of our fast culture, and dive into a slow sanctuary for unearthing what is alive, tender, and honest for you in every moment.
