About the Event:

In these sessions, we’ll explore somatic movement, improvisation, and ecological embodiment while cultivating the connection with ourselves and our surroundings.
With a focus on individual body-mind awareness and creativity, anyone is welcome to deepen their connection with their body and experience the joy of movement. Sometimes, with eyes closed, lying and moving on the ground,  we will use vocalization and visualization techniques or hands-on touch to meet and explore our relationship with gravity, our anatomical structures and body systems (inner environment ) and the surroundings (outer environment ). With plenty of opportunities for reflection and exploration, these sessions can help to support the body-mind and their ability of resilience, as well as to develop our sense of embodied ecology.
During the sessions we are all responsible for creating a safe and inclusive space where everyone feels welcomed and comfortable. This session takes a person-centred approach, integrating personal processes with the offered exploration. ‘Rising in the Body’ takes place in the beauty of the Garden at Salisbury Centre or indoors (the Art Room or Studio) when we need to shelter from strong rain/cold. Please wear comfortable clothes, different layers to adjust to the change of weather and temperature. If you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me via email.

 

About Donations: 

Participation in our community-led events is on a voluntary ‘by donation’ basis. This means that nobody is expected to make a payment if they cannot afford to do so.

Any donations received will be shared between the Centre and the facilitator, helping to make the events’ programme sustainable as well as to provide some reciprocity towards community facilitators’ time and skills offered.
