We will work with both the practical and theoretical aspects that underpin the Expressive Movement Form and introduce the Expressive Movement map as a means of following the natural movements, rhythms and cycles that are explored through the body. Module Two: Towards the Hearth 7 – 10 February 2020 In the second module we turn towards the hearth and look to the heart of the practice that lies in our capacity to relate to life as moving human beings. We explore the importance of relationships in movement – relationships to the Self, to one another, to the community and to the world. Within the focus on relationships in movement, we explore the significance of moving with feelings and intuition as guides towards greater health and wellbeing. Module Three: Raku 27 – 30 March 2020 In this third and final module we work with deepening the understanding of the various holding containers in the practice and focus on the embodied learning of both direct and indirect facilitation skills through practical application of the Expressive Movement Map. This module will include working with music, the form, themes and the role of the facilitator as a means of guiding authentic movement. The focus here is on practicing and integrating tools & skills learned. Practical application into your personal and professional life will be explored in order to best prepare you for the journey ahead.
