If your spiraling body could speak, what would it say?
In this series, we explore the evolving nature of the spiral in life and art. Through somatic practice and creative dialogues of the Life-Art Process, we notice what personal themes arise and what resources emerge.
We’ll draw inspiration from the spiraling body found in various life forms on earth, as well as those within us: the Milky Way, the sunflower, DNA strands, the way we walk, our pumping hearts.
We work with the spiral rotation as a movement resource to energize the body’s inner and outer pathways, to activate our connective tissues, to pulsate, curve and expand.
We listen and respond to our physical, emotional, and imaginal body and invite metaphors to guide our inquiry. How do we respond to life’s twists and turns? How can we envision our growth? Each person will find their own dance, image, and story.
Have a comfortable space to move and drawing and writing materials on hand.
No dance experience needed, only a willingness to explore!
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 workshops due to the sensitive and sometimes vulnerable nature of the work, and to protect participant privacy.
