From Mindful to Ecstatic: A three-day movement workshop

About this event

Afternoons: Somatics 3-5:30pm Somatics classes start with a light anatomy lesson, focusing on a different body structure and system each day. This is followed by a guided meditation, attending to the breath, stillness, and movement that quietly grows. Partnered and solo bodywork exercises and games will be introduced, using touch, weight sharing, massage, and meditative stretching to awaken the body-mind connection. Monday: Deep Abdominals & Nervous System Tuesday: Pelvis & Fascia Wednesday: Shoulder Girdle & the Gaze Evenings: Group Motion Workshop 6:30-8:30pm The Group Motion Workshop is a guided movement experience with live music. Beginning with meditation and waking the body through movement and stretching, participants are then guided seamlessly through movement structures aimed at shifting bodily and conscious attention. Each night the class opens with introductions, intention-setting, and a community conversation about safety and consent. From this ritual grounding, we build our capacity for human connection, together in a shared space of exploration, expression, and communication. Monday: Live music with Andy Thierauf Tuesday: Live music with Julius Masri Wednesday: Live music with Peter Price and Tristan Price About the Instructor Megan Bridge’s teaching draws on tools picked up in her own decades-long practice of improvisation in performance, as well as studies in meditation, anatomy, the nervous system, and several forms of bodywork and somatics.
