RELATIONAL RESILIENCE: Movement & Communication Workshop

Date: 4th-5th February 2023  
Location: Wootton Fitzpaine, West Dorset ​​

Life is relationship - every moment is a co-creation.  If that is true, then we are never wholly responsible and we are never uninvolved. As we begin to understand how deeply interconnected we all are, and how fragile the idea of an individual really is, one crucial question is:

How can I ‘follow my line’, in full embodied awareness of the needs of the planet, of other species and of other humans, cultivating a spirit of reciprocity, honesty and care which is vital for regeneration?

A belief in the dynamics of ‘co-creation’ informs this workshop, which may provide a different perspective for those of you working with groups and individuals.
“I would describe Move into Life as an immersion in movement which awakens patterns of behaviour but also reveals new ways of being in the world through contact with myself, others and the environment.”
In movement practice you will be guided to explore and become aware of:
  • How your moving body is already ‘speaking’ -- the shape, flow, structure, habits and patterns of your movement when you are with others.
  • The vital importance of first opening to the context you find yourself in/your surroundings and then opening to the other through the space.
  • The role of position and rhythm in relationships
  • How you can ‘pull’ and ‘be pulled’
  • Holding and not-holding
  • Arriving and leaving
  • Somatic transparency
  • How to 'read' group situations through movement, including yourself, within the constellation.
  • How you respond to others and how they respond to you.
  • Flexibility and adaptation to the moment in the moment …not late
The work is to develop an increasingly wide view of what is happening at any given moment and to sense your part in the event -  how we affect and are affected by others. The workshop cultivates a gentle awareness of our patterns and habits in communication with others.
No previous experience of Move into Life work is needed for this workshop.
