Working with curiosity and respect for all beings, Poh-Eng and Katye offer rich movement practices that support deepening connection to forest and moorland landscapes.
Overview:
This embodied movement workshop guides participants through practices that deepen connection with the living world.
Working on Moorland on one day and in Forest close to a River on another, participants will be guided through approaches to movement practice in connection to the rock, trees, grassland and rivers. Katye and Poh-Eng will draw on experiential anatomy, non-stylised movement, Qi Gong, nervous system regulation and their combined 60+ years of dance and movement practice!
No movement experience necessary to join this workshop.
