Presented by Leyla S. Bell, PhD, LMFT, ATR-BC, RSMT/E
Attendance: In Person Only
Waking up to the depth, wisdom, and intelligence of our body and imagination can open us to inner resources and life-given wholeness. In this half-day in-person experiential workshop, through conscious body movement, image-making, and creative writing, participants will call on a new kind of inward attention to explore feeling states, kinesthetic sensations, intuition, and body awareness, toward meaningful new encounters with the self. This workshop is open to everyone. No art or movement/dance experience is needed. Art materials will be provided. Participants will need comfortable clothing for movement/dance, a yoga mat, and a pen/journal for reflective writing.
Learning objectives:
- Apply creative expressive arts and somatic movement practices to access emotional states, and increase self-awareness, empathy, intuitive knowing, and embodied consciousness.
- Observe, describe, and analyze images, symbols, metaphors, somatic states, psychological complexes, and other unconscious dynamics.
- Observe kinesthetic sensations of the body and nonverbal behavior to recognize, describe, and explore feeling states and lived experiences from multidimensional perspectives.
