Movement as Medicine for Writers as Part of Festival in Palisade, CO

Movement as Medicine: A Body-Centered Approach workshop with Arlyn Alderdice and Ben Bentele

When: 3:00-4:30 PM

Where: Ordinary Fellow Winery, 202 Peach Avenue, Palisade

Join us as we explore what it is to be embodied writers, readers, seekers and life-long learners. We will track our sensations, we will ever so gently allow ourselves to move our Somatic experience in a variety of styles. We will write about what we discover along the way. There will be responsive live music as well as a touch of pre-recorded music. You can expect to move out of your habits and be invited fully into the ever-changing world of your inner landscape.
