SomaWorks Seminar is a small-group movement class that progresses over six weekly sessions.  We will use our bodies in motion to get out of our heads and tap into intuition, creativity, and internal guidance.

Inner guidance is the topic for this 6-session series.  How do you listen to the messages from your body?  What can you do when you’re feeling anxious and trying to make decisions?  How do you know the difference between ‘good’ or ‘productive’ pain and that which creates injury?  When do you need more boundaries in your relationships, and when is it time to let go?  This workshop is for you if you would like the time, space, and community to further develop your  relationship with your body.

We will engage with techniques and systems including Somatic Ideation, Circling, Authentic Movement, Laban Movement Analysis, Ecstatic Dance, and solo aspects of Contact Improvisation to connect with ourselves and each other. Come as you are: No experience is necessary to participate.

The 6 session series is $150 and will take place at SomaWorks in Boise.  There is a maximum seminar size of 8 people.  If you sign up with a friend use the discount code BUDDIES and you each get 10% off!

If you are not local, or cannot make this time, there will be an online group via Zoom videoconferencing.  In order to participate you will need a small but open space to move, including being able to lay on the floor, and a computer or phone that can connect to internet fast enough for video conferencing.

Connect your body and spirit, dancing in freedom.  Overcome judgement by appreciating and seeing others.  Generate compassion by accepting yourself, your body, and your dancing.  Release your mind in the flow and beat of the music.  Let it be simple:  A joyful practice of being yourself in the company of others.

We begin and finish with a sharing circle, although you may come and go as you please.  Otherwise it is a non-speaking space.  While interaction is encouraged, sovereignty is to be respected through a non-grasping physicality and mentality.  Music includes bass electronica, world music, acoustic songs, and the occasional peppering of hip-hop, classical, jazz, and even live contributions.
