Body Liberation Dance is a freeform expressive dance and movement that takes us on a journey of self-discovery to unearth the truth that lies within. This experiential practice focuses on releasing emotion and trauma through somatic movement.
Oyámie will hold space for your own creative experience and facilitate a dynamic movement practice accompanied by music.
In this online workshop, you will:
Additionally, engage in group discussions on:
When we are able to let go, the natural flow of life dances us. We move to escape from our burden, pain, and suffering. We move to become who we are meant to be. Join us to move consciously, intentionally, and freely—to let go, release, and heal together as one.
We will also take part in journaling exercises during this workshop. Please prepare to attend the live sessions with a journal/notebook and a writing utensil.
