Tend and Befriend

It's time!  Have you felt at war with your body?  Ashamed, even?  Has it been a relationship that has been rife with conflict, judgement, and coercion?  Have you been frustrated with getting older, losing your spark, perhaps even given up on finding peace with yourself?  You're not alone, and there is another way (that doesn't actually involve changing anything).  

It's about diving in to a practice that will support you to find some ease, joy, and compassion for yourself exactly as you are.  You may even feel some glimmers of love return as I will guide you to Tend and Befriend your body while you connect with a supportive group of like-minded women.  

Feel more connected with, aware of, and grateful for all that lives within you....a wonderous place that has always accompanied you with an endless supply of gifts and love (I know you may be uncomfortable with those words....all the more evidence that you're exactly who I'm looking for!).  

You are perfect fit for this group if you're looking to:

-- get out of your head and tune in to your body

-- be more present, connected to just this moment, without being lost in your to-do list or the worries about all that is going on in the world

-- accept your body exactly as it is....wrinkles, folds, lumps, bumps, rolls, and all

-- connect to the wisdom and intelligence of your own body...your dance partner for life

-- find more joy in moving, dancing, and connecting with other women in a supportive community (even if this is a brand new idea to you!)

-- expand your mindfulness practice to include this form of living, breathing, moving meditation

-- pay more attention to the needs/longings of your heart and soul

-- decrease the amount of shame and judgement you carry regarding how your body looks and enjoy how it moves and feels once again

What you'll get:

-- more ease with you....more comfort, peace and compassion for your body and your relationship with it

-- greater appreciation for and gratitude toward your dance partner

-- more awareness of your senses (you can let me know about this one....but, my guess is you'll notice this in your days...)

-- connection with a great group of diverse women

-- five 2-hour sessions with some practical tools to take into your weeks in between

-- deeper awareness of moving, dance, and meditation....and how to use these as tools in your life 

-- my guess is you'll have fun.  It'll feel nice to spend 2 hours a week just focused on you....and you're heart and soul may thank you as well.  Joy is a big part of healing....I'll be including plenty.

-- skills to help you feel more grounded and resilient in the world....always needed!  

Sessions will be primarily experiential and will include:  guided movement, meditation, dance, journaling or drawing, community discussion, and homework between our meetings.

Group size will be limited, and all who register are encouraged to attend all five sessions.  It will not be recorded.  No experience necessary (awkward dancers, first time groovers, and those with no rhythm.....you will be fully embraced!!)

Register by 10/22 by clicking your link to complete a form. 

I'll follow up by reaching out to schedule a 30 minute call with you....to acquaint you with the work, answer any questions, and to help you feel connected if you choose to enter this group.  This is a commitment-free call....a chance to decide if this would be a fit for you.
