Event Description
Using this line from Mary Oliver’s poem Wild Geese as a backdrop these workshops will combine mindful movement sequences based on the Feldenkrais Method of somatic learning with expressive and reflective writing. We will use gentle exploratory movement sequences with writing prompts and poetry to encourage connection with our selves and to stimulate creativity and self-reflection. These sessions are suitable for anyone looking for a safe supportive space for relaxation, play and inspiration on a Sunday afternoon. No previous experience of Feldenkrais or writing required.
This workshop is one of a series of four running throughout November. Each session will have its own theme and can be experienced as a stand-alone event.

Constellating your Story: How am I here?
Do you ever wonder about the choices you have made? About what’s brought you to this place in your life? About how you are here? And how it feels? In this workshop we will explore these themes through personal reflection and guided activities.
This immersive workshop uses innovative processes from story-making and systemic constellations, designed to help you explore deeply held, limiting self-beliefs and open up to fresh perspectives. We invite exploration through storytelling, creative exercises and constellating; a process of opening up to the bigger picture of the system of relationships and ancestry that we are connected to.
We use bespoke illustrations to invite the instrumental brain to take a break, allowing the imagination to wander in less familiar places, and surprise us with what is found there.

Anne writes: “Come Home to Your Self” is a workshop drawing on movement, awareness and writingfor creative inspiration and self-exploration. This workshop will introduce participants to ways in which playful movement sequences, combinedwith close attention, can bring us home to an enhanced sense of ourselves and our authentic writing voice.”
