With the arrival of autumn, we’re reminded of nature’s wisdom: to let go and make space for what matters most, to shed the old, and gather what feels most alive.
Going on a rich journey through the physical, emotional, and imaginal landscapes of our body, this series invites us to notice what’s ready to shift and harvest what feels nourishing.
At the core of our practice we embrace the body as both artful structure and storyteller. We ask: What are you letting go this season? What do you want to deepen? What nourishes you?
We’ll dance with the breath, spine, and pelvis as centers of grounding and flow; legs/feet, arms/hands as extensions of direction and connection; the heart and belly as portals of emotion and intuitive knowing.
In a welcoming space, we explore rooting, releasing, shifting, and connecting. Through movements imbued with softness, strength, and fluidity, we remember how to thrive with imagination and feeling.
Together we practice with attention and care, meeting ourselves where we are and staying curious about what unfolds.
At the end of the series, we’ll harvest insights with a community dance.
Participants will leave with embodied nourishing practices for the autumn season.
No dance experience needed, only a willingness to explore.
Please have a comfortable space to move and drawing and writing materials prepared.
To get the most out of this online class, please prepare a comfortable space to move in with access to your online device and reliable internet service. If you are using a handheld device, such as a pad or phone, please be sure to use a stand for your device so that it is held securely in place. You will want to have your hands free and be able to move freely and safely during movement exercises without worrying about your device falling. Have art supplies ready at hand for the drawing activity and paper and pen for journaling and creative writing exercises.
Workshops are for ages 18+ only and disability access is not provided.
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 participant privacy.
