Feeling Alive in the World through Movement, Dance and Creativity
Everyone can dance! Creative movement sessions are about you finding ways to feel relaxed, breathe fully and feel free in a gentle space that's full of care.
We offer sessions which aim to make you feel at home, dancing in your own way, always having a choice to rest or join in. Bringing people together to find their creativity through moving, drawing,writing, sharing and often eating!
What People Say
"I came away from the day with a profound sense of peace, just feeling happy, nurtured, refreshed, connected to myself and others."
"It is the first time I have ever experienced such positive energy from a group of people and I have attended some fantastic courses."
"I enjoyed the playfulness, the creativity, the strength of a supportive group of women, the honesty and revelations of others and in myself. At one point, even though I was very happy, I cried when someone else voiced exactly how I was feeling. I think it was the relief of realising something I was feeling, but the release was cathartic."
"The use of not only dance and movement, but connecting it to drawing, writing, talking and even sharing our food, coupled with the beautiful, peaceful environment and the participants and the facilitators, with their sensitivity, clear demonstrations, invitations and guidance, made this a day I want to make a regular occurrence."

what is somatics?
Somatics refers to our psychological awareness of our bodies, the extent to which we are tuned into the sensations of smell, sound, sight, taste, and touch; the feelings of relaxation or tension in our muscles; the workings of our inner organs; feelings of pain; and all of our emotions.
