SOMATIC FOUNDATIONS OF PRESENCE, TOUCH, AND MOVEMENT
This workshop (2 and 4 day options) delves into the somatic foundations of presence, touch, and movement, inviting participants to experience the work’s guiding principles of softness, weight, waves, connection, play, pause, and authenticity.
Each workshop day is 10-5, with an hour and fifteen minutes for lunch. 12 or 24 ncbtmb ce’s awarded with 2 hours of hands on work each day to integrate the movement inquiries.
We explore how our felt sense of movement changes the potency of our touch. This workshop is for anyone interested in deepening their relationship with touch and movement, in personal or professional settings. It fulfills the Mentastics class requirement for Trager certification.
Open to bodyworkers, movement practitioners, and anyone curious about embodied connection, this workshop offers a nourishing space to refine your touch, heighten sensory awareness, and attune to the natural intelligence of your living body.
