Dark Matter – Movement Lab with Heather Christensen
March 1 - March 2
$75 – $175
Movement Therapy Workshop – Moving, Dancing & Sounding Somatics.
Expressing our Underbellies – Our Shadow Work. Diving Deep into our Unconscious & Conscious Wounds of Past & Present.
Prerequisite: None – We Show Up As We Are!
Join Heather’s 5Rhythms family in “Dark Matter” in the winter, spring, summer & fall. All seasons have a specific focus (with the end of winter, we are literally bringing more light on to what has been dark) a sacred time for shadow work. We unveil the dark matter within a safe container of somatic practices and an intention to awaken, move the issues out of the tissues – 4 meet-ups a year. We will rattle our dancing bones, shake up our forgotten/remembered memories, as we dive deep into our emotional & physical traumas individually & as a collective. Giving ourselves & others the gift of authentic transparency with presence. THIS combined with Hot Springs – can detox & shed what is not ours, renew, restore & balance the mind-body. Clearer expression & new depth to ourselves can emerge through moving meditations. A workshop to cleanse the body, heart & soul. Heather’s guided 5R maps – flowing, staccato, chaos, lyrical, and stillness + (MIP) movement therapy is much like meditation – we watch the mind, thank it, come back to the body – not the story. You may find yourself in a journey – being witnessed & taken by the unfamiliar or familiar. The transmission of Heather’s teaching & embodiment is powerful YIN – like the waters at Harbin. Both remind us to FLOW and that is where we begin.
