Friday Morning Movement Practice with Arlyn
2024-06-07 09:00 - 10:00 | TLC Hearth, 138 Grand Ave, Paonia, CO, 81428, United States
Somatic dance is about the felt experience of the mover, it’s not about looking any particular way. And while there is time and invitation to move as you would like to, there’s a map that we follow and invitations to deeper inquiry that are offered gently by the facilitator throughout the movement practice. It’s not a partner dance and there are no dance moves taught; the music and facilitation evokes different styles of movement that look different in each body. I call it Movement as Medicine.
Ongoing
Class value $10-$15 per person. Talk to me if you need an alternative form of exchange.

It’s the same practice, but every day we discover something different as we track our internal landscape through movement.

“To free the voice is to free the person.” ~Kristen Linklater

“One of the most powerful aspects of drumming and the reason people have done it since the beginning of being human is that it changes people’s consciousness. Through rhythmic repetition of ritual sounds, the body, the brain and the nervous system are energized and transformed. When a group of people play a rhythm for an extended period of time, their brain waves become entrained to the rhythm and they have a shared brain wave state. The longer the drumming goes on, the more powerful the entrainment becomes. It’s really the oldest holy communion.” ~Layne Redmond author of “When the Drummers Were Women”

This group is full. Please stay posted for when the course is ready!

Money Freedom with Arlyn Alderdice
This is an online offering via Zoom. Open to the first 15 registrants. There is no charge for the group, but there is a feedback request.
4 Thursdays @ 1pm pacific/ 2pm mtn/ 3pm central/ 4pm est
starting Thursday October 24th through Thursday Nov. 14th

Arlyn Alderdice is a Wayfinder Life Coach & SomaSource leader, this group is not financial or entrepreneurial advice. This course is designed to help free up emotional energy and bring awareness to our financial patterns + bring us in touch with something larger than our small egoic self in relationship to money. This allows us to make conscious choices about how to direct the flow of our money and live a life that is more aligned with our own values. Once we have more freedom in our lives, on all the levels, we can make better choices for ourselves and ultimately our planet.
