On this Day we want to create a Space for healing in and through Community. In our every day lives we tend to not take time to notice all the little signs our bodies give us to let us know that we are stressed, hurting or exceeding our limits.
So we want to come together to perceive our bodies and find out what they want to tell us and find new ways to respond to them.
We are going to explore movement especially booty shake, pelvic and hip movements as means to connection and release.

Taking a trauma-sensitive approach we will not share traumatic experience in the group but rather focus on what they trigger in our bodies.
Acknowledging what they cary, appreciating their beauty and strengthening their resilience.
We want to learn together about how trauma manifests in our bodies and share skills how to cope with it.

Individually and collectively, we’ll offer impulses for movements, self reflection and (re-)connection.

This space is also for us to be together and witness whatever is coming up, to share grief and joy. And to strengthen our community!

Come as you are! No previous experiences required. Snacks will be provided. Travel costs can be covered. Food will be for free!
