​
Authentic Movement is a meditative, intuitive improvisational movement practice involving a mover and a witness.  With eyes closed, maintaining a focus on bodily sensation and the flow of consciousness, the mover allows herself to be moved by whatever impulses are arising from the body.  
The format is simple: the mover with eyes closed the mover begins standing, sitting or lying down, allowing herself to focus inwardly, and to enter a contemplative state where the somatic unconscious can emerge.  There is no music; the mover listens to and senses his or her bodily self. Time for movement may be short - ten to twenty minutes. Participants will have the opportunity both to move and to witness.  Afterwards, movers may draw, write or talk directly about what occurred for them. The witness may respond but does not interpret.

Authentic Movement:
  • Provides a safe and nourishing setting for movement exploration without judgement or restriction.
  • Supports listening to the body and its movement voice.
  • Creates a deeper felt sense of the body/mind connection.
  • Helps to develop trust in one's inner voice and intuitive guidance.
  • Opens doors to creative inspiration.
Paula teaches Authentic Movement in combination with Sourcework - guided movement meditations that enhance awareness, clarity, and feeling in the mover.This workshop is for anyone who has a desire to move their body freely and who is open to self-reflection and exploration.  No dance training or experience is necessary.  Wear loose comfortable clothing, bring water and a notebook.
