January 2025
25th - 26th January, 2025
Moving with Objects with Caroline Hepworth
Location: ~ Wootton Fitzpaine, West Dorset
Contact with objects is frequently through the sense of touch. Touch can be taboo laden as it involves the threshold between the self and other.
We touch and are touched at the same time, threatening the distinction between subject and object. This weekend workshop is a unique opportunity to explore this threshold and its implications and ramifications through movement.

1st-2nd March, 2025 ~ Wootton Fitzpaine, West Dorset
Moving with Others- Noticing Patterns
Movement & Communication with Sandra Reeve
(Part of the Move into Life workshop cycle)
Through movement we can practice both how we follow our own line in movement and how to move in resonance with others. Acknowledging how we mutually influence each other and witnessing how moment by moment we co-create the situations and the patterns that we find ourselves in, blame begins to drop away.
This workshop cultivates spontaneous awareness and aware spontaneity in movement with others, while always respecting context.

23rd April - 4th May, 2025 ~ Taroudant, High Atlas, Morocco
Amerta Movement in Times of Change - Adaptation | Tuning |Expression
with Judy Cole and Sandra Reeve
A guided workshop where we can meet old and new friends and study together in a fresh location away from our local and known habitats. The idea is to practise the process of adaptation in our experiences with the unknown/not known and with ‘difference’. This may be a way to reveal, refresh and enliven habitual patterns that have established themselves within our own movement practice and within our lives over time.

9th - 13th July, 2025 ~ Westhay, nr Charmouth , West Dorset
Moving in Time
Westhay Garden has been a place for many of you to move, over the years, both with me and with Prapto. The garden is full of movement traces and memories and in 2025 it would like to be an Open Garden for a week, when you are welcome to come and move here at any time. The week will culminate in 3 days of shared movement practice, starting mid-afternoon on Friday 11th July. As in 2016, the theme will be Movement through Time.

October 2025
18th-19th October, 2025 ~ Stonebarrow Hill and Charmouth beach, West Dorset
Seascapes and Time: Environmental Movement with Sandra Reeve
(Part of the Move into Life workshop cycle)
This weekend workshop – working on the beach below Stonebarrow Hill – is an introduction to (or reminder of) the practice of moving in nature. Moving on the beach, this environmental movement workshop introduces the skills of being/becoming viscerally aware of your own movements as part of the natural movements around you.. Your body-in-movement is one part of the choreography of movements surrounding you – the rhythm of the sea, the gusts of wind, the trickle of shingle, the impression in the sand, the flight of a bird, the fleeting gesture of a companion.
