The Winter Solstice marks the transition between seasons, inviting us to turn inward and make space for renewal in our lives.
In this end-of-the-year movement workshop, we sense and shift with the changing rhythms of the earth and invite our bodies to slow down. We honor the darkness and celebrate the returning light.
Using a multi-modality approach from the Life-Art Process, we weave movement, drawing, and writing to give voice to our journeys. We work with Anna Halprin’s Movement Ritual & Dance Explorations, a somatic dance practice to help release stress, heighten kinesthetic awareness, and spark creative expression.
We invite this question: If your body could speak, what will you let go, what will you take in?
Participants draw, write, and create altar offerings to honor the darkness and call forth the sunlight. We come together and share solstice reflections as the year ends and a new one begins.
To get the most out of this online series:
Please prepare a comfortable space to move in with access to your online device. Also, have art supplies ready at hand for drawing activities, and paper and pen for journaling and creative writing exercises.
Please note: Tamalpa does not record nor permit the recording of any classes or workshops due to the sensitive and sometimes vulnerable nature of the work, and to protect student privacy.
