The Great Escape: From Self-Consciousness to Self-Expression, from Monkey Mind to Centered Presence 

 This workshop has been CANCELLED

Would you like to move and express yourself more freely and joyfully in the world? This workshop offers a fun and unique approach to deepening self-perception, self-awareness, and self-acceptance. The basis for the work is called Essential Motion. It is a combination of improvisational movement, somatic coaching, psychological and emotional inquiry, group reflective work, and mindfulness practice.

Movement is the “forgotten language of the soul.” Through movement, sounds, words, somatic coaching, mirroring, and video feedback, Karen and Peter create a provocative yet safe environment. They guide you through a discovery of your own personal vocabulary of expression, and help you explore how these expressions and response patterns directly reflect how you function in your everyday world. These somatic insights create possibilities for greater choice. Participants are filmed in solo, dyad, and group situations, with opportunities for viewing the tapes.

This workshop is especially designed for those interested in learning how to crack open self-beliefs that constrain spontaneous, playful, and powerful expression. The ultimate goal is to develop a centered presence informed by our hearts, rather than by mental judgments and limiting self-images. By reintegrating the physical intelligence and playful body ease of childhood, we can move through daily life with more grace, freedom, expressiveness, and power.

CEUs available for MFTs and LCSWs.
