Valerie Green of Green Space Studio and Dance Entropy & Stefanie Frank of The NEST bring:
“Skimming the Surface: Movement Healing Workshops” is geared toward adults who may be overcoming diverse forms of trauma and stress through somatic-based expressive movement exercises. These workshops will help participants release blocked energy and help participants confront emotional wounds and bring them to the surface gently and compassionately. This experience leaves participants feeling expanded and curious about their emotions, with new insights to move forward.
Each movement journey is handcrafted to best support the participants. Green serves as a guide to help open doorways where each individual will do their personal work, leading them to a heart-centered and intuitive place, finding a physical expression and release of emotions and energy whereby a healing process can begin.
