Embodied Resourcing Through Somatic Practices

3.0 credits

From subtle intrinsic movement to whole body integration, students will have the opportunity to experience the essence of several somatic modalities and discover what it means to be fully alive and resourced in movement and stillness. Mindful Awareness provides the foundation for listening inwardly to one’s immediate embodied experience. From this felt sense and the inherent wisdom of the body, students will be encouraged to explore various somatic approaches presented by the co-teachers. This work is powerful for dancers and for those on every academic track who are inquisitive in becoming more compassionate, open, present, resilient and centered. Experiential practice, readings, discussion, and reflective writing will comprise the course. Additional reading, writing and projects required at the graduate level.
