SUMMARY:Dance of Awareness - Sunday Movement Meditation Practice
DESCRIPTION:Dance of Awareness™ is an ecstatic dance and embodiment practice… a process for healing\, self-expression & creativity in a safe space. \n\n\nDANCE OF AWARENESS™\n\nDance Warmup\nOpening Circle\nThe Dance of Awareness Wave (more details about the phases below)\nClosing Circle & Group Sharing\nClass ends\n\nUPCOMING DATES:\n\n18 September\n2 October\n\nBOOK HERE: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/embody-dance-of-awareness-sunday-movement-meditation-practice-tickets-397837180717 \n\n\n\n\nABOUT THE DANCE OF AWARENESS\nDance of Awareness™ is a new approach to working with movement\, dance\, and awareness. It is a dance and movement practice that aims to increase self-awareness and self-acceptance. And when practiced regularly\, can be a very powerful resource for our well-being – body\, heart\, and soul. Dance of Awareness™ is a joyful exploration of what it is to be in a body\, moving in response to inner awareness and outer connectedness. \n“This is a dance process for self-expression and personal discovery in a safely held space.” \nDance of Awareness™ has five main streams of influence: Neo-Reichian body-centred psychotherapy; Five Rhythms dance; Authentic Movement; Dance Movement Psychotherapy; and the experiential exploration of Awareness itself. \nROOTS IN DEVELOPMENTAL THEORY\n“How did you\, become you?” \nThe Dance of Awareness™ is similar in structure to the Five Rhythms wave developed by Roth (1999)\, but has been adapted to take account of psychodynamic theory and developmental psychology. The phases of the cycle follow themes of human development from pre-birth through to around five years. This is the time period associated with the growing sense of self which becomes embodied through early experience\, and which sets the patterns for adulthood. This gives the mover the opportunity to re-experience the formative years of early development\, explore old imprints\, and discover new patterns of moving and relating. \nThe Dance of Awareness™ works with 6 cycles: \nSensing\, Grounding\, Expressing\, Releasing\, Connecting and Completing following an energetic wave of charging and discharging over the course of a session. \nDance of Awareness™ is an open and allowing space where the dancer-mover can express and explore both 1) old adapted ways of moving and being and 2) new possibilities in moving\, being\, and relating. \nAs you journey through the cycles\, and with some direction from the facilitator\, explore the creative movement impulses which are ready to emerge. \nDance of Awareness will help you to explore both\, dancing out all that is ready to be released\, and dancing in more of your life-giving\, life-affirming creative potential! \n\n\n\n\n\nTHE 6 PHASES OF THE DANCE OF AWARENESS WAVE:\n\nSENSING – Sensing the body directly – an internal focus on the physical sensations of flesh\, muscle and bone\, and an external focus on the five senses;\nGROUNDING – Grounding our bodies in connection to the earth\, receiving support;\nEXPRESSING – Expressing the shapes\, patterns and movements that are ready to take form;\nRELEASING – Releasing the energy that is ready to move in the body;\nCONNECTING – Connecting deeper into ourselves – and outwards with others and the world;\nCOMPLETING – Completing the journey and returning to our true nature.\n\nThrough the 6 phases of the Dance of Awareness process\, you will be invited to move through the themes of human development from pre-birth up to around five years old. Because the phases of the cycle follow the themes of human development\, you are given the opportunity to re-experience your formative years of early development\, explore old imprints\, and discover new patterns of moving and relating by allowing the dance to emerge naturally. \nDance of Awareness also gives us the opportunity to be aware of the wonders of our own body\, our sacred home\, living it with kind-heartedness\, self-care and compassion. \nAWARENESS AS THE GROUND TO OUR BEING\nThe Dance of Awareness process is underpinned by an emphasis on awareness as the ground to our experience in the world. \nAs we move through the cycle\, from time to time\, I will invite you to ‘come back to awareness’\, this means experiencing whatever is emerging here and now\, and putting to one side beliefs\, thoughts and assumptions\, in the interests of giving ourselves permission to allow whatever is ready to come into awareness. What presents itself may be a breath pattern\, an image\, an emotion\, or a bodily sensation. The aim is simply to be present with whatever is happening and to fully experience what arises\, with an empathic witnessing. \n\n\n\n\n\nFACILITATOR\, VENUE\, PRICES:\nFacilitated by: Seth Newman \nAs a coach\, Seth is dedicated to helping people calm\, empower and rejuvenate their busy minds and bodies to achieve the best versions of themselves. Seth brings a wealth of experience holding heart-centered spaces. \nIn addition to guiding people on their life journeys\, he enjoys helping clients design lifestyles of optimal health and balance with creative living practices. \nSeth has been running various body-mind integration classes and workshops for many years.
