Coming Together: Nia® and Soul Motion™ Playshop
with Camilla Steen Larsen
coming together - the social act of assembling for some common purpose
Together - you and I - begin and return to the potent pause of presence. We start close in with the dance intimate; the one closest to our skin. This is a dance of discovery; one in which we move with what is here, near and far. We investigate how to be present and grounded in relationship to ourselves, others and the world; dancing alone and together – unique yet never separate – meeting ourselves and others with open hearts.
Through our own body as teacher and guide, the dance may bring us one step closer to ourselves. We may experience a heightened sense of presence ~ a feeling of coming home. Whether you have a weekly movement practice or are stepping onto the dance floor for the first time, these practices will condition your nervous system and set your soul in motion.
“To become human is to become visible, while bringing what is hidden as a gift for others” ~ David Whyte
