  • Somatic Ecstatic Embodiment Journey

    90 min | Movement Lab

    Join James on a journey to awaken your curious and sensual spine through yoga shapes, fluid-flow dance and conscious touch. Explore developmental movement patterns to uncover stories that have been living in your body and integrate a new felt, dynamic narrative that invokes psychosomatic liberation allowing for comfort and pleasure as a state of being. Discover a deep, felt sense of life as relational through consensual and authentic engagement, using the inroads of contact improv and Thai massage to become an active agent in cultivating presence. This somatic-based movement and connection ceremony is an opportunity to let the veils of separation fall away, to shift from the place of you and me into we, and to access the all pervading consciousness we can sense on a cellular level both within and without.
