Saturday 8th June - 10am - 12pm

In this unique workshop you will be guided through various somatic movement sequences  accompanied by live improvised sounds

The movement sequences are predominantly floor based 

Somatic movement practices give equal value to internal experience, external movements, self observation  and instinct

Paula will guide you through exercises that are influenced by techniques  drawn from Body Mind Centering, Feldenkrais, developmental movement and non habitual movement.

Enjoyment of the body is key to this approach with freedom to choose how to move. Somatic grounded movements have been linked with self healing and the curation a deep sense of inner peace

The last  30 minutes of the session is focused on guided relaxation, easeful breathing, deep rest and inner listening

The Shruti box is an Indian instrument used to make musical drone sounds. Drones are sustained notes often used to accompany an instrument or voice, meditation or chanting. Trish  will combine wooden flute and shruti box into a  magical soundscape. The mechanical breath of the shruti box, produced by bellows and reeds, creates a rich and complex drone sound.  It interacts with the breath of the wooden flute to make an unearthly, harmonically rich sound that fills the space.
