inner witness | Jan Sandman

Spring, 2018

Dear Friends, Today, I put the geraniums that had wintered over inside and were in full bloom out on the porch even though it is not yet May. I am ready for Spring, the soft rain, the brightening light, longer days, lighter or no layers needed, the soft ground. My birthday is in April and this rose was centered in a …

Authentic Movement

with Jan Sandman

Wednesday mornings, September 19-December 12, 2018

(no class on Nov 21)

Authentic Movement strives for the physical expression of truth in each passing moment, whatever that truth may be. With eyes closed, we find, explore and follow the eternally present impulse, expressing it through movement. By allowing our impulses to lead us, our movement begins to bridge the unconscious to the conscious. Authentic Movement embraces all levels of being from the sacred to the seeming ordinary, the important to the trivial, the humorous to the tragic, the joyous to the grieving. In practicing the form participants find, in addition to inner discovery, the possibility for a deep internal freedom that comes with true self-acceptance.

The composition of this class is an intimate and focused group of people .We will focus on the basic elements of Authentic Movement: the mover and the witness, as well as going into subtle nuances of the form. No dance experience is necessary.

PRE REGISTRATION NECESSARY . jansandman@comcast.net 522-5032   This class is currently full.

As we move into autumn, we will explore the essence of the form, the essence of ourselves, employing the energy of the season to enter places in ourselves that are both known and gestating . I would like to offer the space for those places to be moved, witnessed and integrated, with the focus being the treasures inside yourselves and between ourselves as a collective.

And so, we will focus on the basic elements of Authentic Movement: the mover and the witness, as well as going into subtle nuances of the form, bringing to it who we are now.

There are a couple of openings in this group. Pre registration is necessary. If you are interested, contact me and we will talk more about the group and the form. jansandman@comcast.net, 802 522-5032
