Mindfulness & Movement: An Exploration

  • Complex@Canal 650 E Kendall Street Cambridge, MA 02142 (map)

We all use and move our bodies, whether we're dancers, athletes, or not. Our body and its movements hold so much wisdom that many of us have yet to explore. Mindfulness trains the mind, which is intimately connected to and affected by the body: How does the way we feel about ourselves show up in our bodies? How do our bodies affect our thoughts and moods? What kinds of movement are unpleasant, and what kinds bring pleasure? How can we release or express emotions in movement?

This workshop is an experiential exploration of the mind-body relationship in stillness and movement. The invitation is to explore the self and be intentional and mindful in using our bodies. This workshop will draw on practices including guided meditations, movement exploration, and character embodiment.

Open to all levels (no prior dance or mindfulness experience required).
