~ Join us as we expand our capacity to welcome in the dynamic energy of Summer through the embodiment practices of 5Rhythms & Somatic Movement. Our focus will be on awakening our bodies to the elements, specifically communing with Sky, Space and Breath. We’ll inspire each other to listen deeply within, to follow spontaneity, intuition, instinct and impulse through organic and natural movement.

~ As the vast spaciousness of the sky contains all passing weather, we’ll allow the phenomena that make up our experience - sensations, perceptions, and emotions - to move fluidly through our bodies and nervous systems, opening us ever more deeply to becoming a vehicle for a broader life. These movement practices support resilience, healing & integration, thereby giving us a deeper ability to thrive. We will learn to take responsibility for our feelings, seeing discomforts as opportunities for new growth rather than reasons to shut down. Summer wants us to shine!

~ Join us as we move to wonderful music, commune around the fire, share delicious meals, bathe in the spring water hot tub, shed skins in the sauna, plunge in the healing waters of the White Spring, and enjoy a walk up Glastonbury Tor.
