“Relationship and Movement”

This group practice aims to promote emotional well-being through movement practice. It provides opportunities to explore relationship patterns and to improve their relationships with themselves and others.

The facilitator is a Registered Somatic Movement Educator and a Certified Laban Movement Analyst. She utilizes the human movement study called Laban/Bartenieff Movement Analysis. The facilitator was inspired by Dr. George’s attachment theory (Adult Attachment Projective picture System), Dr. Perry's relational health, Infant-Parent Mental Health concept of "Serve and Return", and principles of Contact Improvisational Dance.

It is a closed group to provide a container for deeper exploration that can lead to increased self-esteem and foster healthier relational patterns. Participants will learn and explore various movement qualities and identify movement patterns in their relationships with themselves and others. Participants will have a chance to discuss relationship challenges with the group to explore different patterns in the dynamic that may serve the relationship better. It occurs in the Fall and Spring.
