Medicine Dance explores present
moment thoughts, feelings and sensations that are allowed spontaneous and fluid expression through the body. Though this process, stress and tension
can be released without doing any particular exercises or sitting in
silence.
Verbally guided and music accompanied, Medicine Dance focuses on the
power of placing attention on physical sensation and trusting its
natural impulses. Participants will gain self-awareness through simple
body movement at their own pace and ability. They will experience
intrinsic creativity, intuition and connection to breath, self, and
others.
