description:
Join the Creative Healing Collective for an afternoon, of healing and releasing with the power of our bodies moving through loss and pain to come forth into healing and resilience.
Our bodies are magic processing machines, receiving the wisdom of daily life that is imprinted through every interaction; every life event, every conversation and every trauma. When we move, we allow spirit to come in and heal us, to move through our pain and trauma. When we dance consciously, in a safe space with no judgement or expectation, we allow our bodies to teach us the wisdom they've accumulated, to release the pain and trauma of time an find our own inner strength and magic through the medicine of dance.
*Zero dance experience necessary
About the facilitator:
Rishe Groner is a writer, teacher and devotee of conscious dance as her medicine and meditation. She has written about conscious dance for publications including Tablet and Elephant Journal, and held space in the dance floor for everyone from disenchanted secular New Yorkers to ultra Orthodox chassidic women.
About the Creative Healing Collective:
The Creative Healing Collective is a safe space for those experiencing loss to process their emotions through creative expression. Our affordable workshops range from yoga and meditation, to painting and writing, to music and dance, and all other creative therapies that fall in between. Our goals are to provide opportunities to articulate grief and form supportive relationships. Through shared experience, we can start to accept the massive void in our hearts and slowly allow art to teach us how to heal ourselves.
