What:
This workshop will presented in two parts and provide different approaches to healing movement. You will be invited to explore in whatever way feels a safe and accessible to you.
Session One: Led by contemporary dancer, spoken word artist and CEO Lindsey T.H. Jackson, this session will ask us to confront these often unnamed and secret traumas that live rent-free in our bodies and hold us back from experiencing somatic liberation and joy, which is our birthright.
Session Two: Healing artist, Sadiqua Iman will lead a movement mediation that will ground participants in their own peace and release various tensions locked in the body due to grief. This is a healing dance that needs no previous experience of skill set, simply the willingness to say yes to the process.
