Dance and Movement Offerings
Upcoming Offerings:
Moving with Mushrooms
I am offering a workshop with my friend and collaborator, Tyler Derouin, exploring intuitive movement, energetics, and authentic movement & relating practices supported by a low dose of psilocybin mushroom.
‘Moving with Mushrooms’ is a five-hour container that emphasizes inward-directed awareness and connection to self while maintaining connection to others & the group field.
————
Allyship with mushrooms supports us in tuning into the more subtle dimensions of our experience. This allyship has the potential to loosen our relationship with the thinking mind and allow for a deeper sense of presence and listening.
The intention of this container is to balance ceremonial presence with embodied communal relationality.
Movement will range from authentic movement & contact improv adjacent scores to freeform expression. Please note: we will invite practices involving energetic and/or physical contact. No physical contact is required.
A core guiding inquiry for this container is: “How deeply rooted can we remain with ourselves while in connection - including being witnessed - by others?”
This will be an intimate gathering of 10 participants and two facilitators (Tyler and Anthony). We are connecting and speaking with each participant before they sign up to ensure it’s a mutually supportive space.

When: Sunday October 12th, 10a-3p

Theme:
“Realize that you are a wonder - you contain the whole cosmos. You don’t need anything else to be happy and free. Everything you are looking for is already there in the here and the now.
The moment when the wave realizes her ocean body she loses all fear. She enjoys going up and she enjoys going down and she is no longer fearful because she is capable of touching her ocean body.”
Thich Nhat Hanh
Overview:
This is a relational contact (physical and/or energetic) friendly dance that encourages finding balance between moving together and moving in our individuated expression.
Please note that any and all physical contact is absolutely optional. Consent, respect, and choicefullness are discussed in our opening container.
This dance is devoted to coming together to be alive in our bodies; connected to our own inner rhythm and inter-connected in relational presence.
I am facilitating here in the lineage of my teacher and mentor Zuza Engler who is a student of Vincent Martínez-Grieco and has trained in the schools of both Soul Motion and Open Floor.
Dance and Movement Lessons
Solo and relational movement and dance in one-on-one container.
I offer myself in this particular container to support you in any and all aspects of your being that relate to body and movement. Specifically, offering my focused attention and presence one-on-one in this way is in service of supporting you to:
• unlock the creative intelligence of your body
• stay with self while in relationship with other
• cultivate and embody stronger physical and energetic boundaries

My Training:
I have extensive experience and training in dance, conscious movement, and somatic psychology and psychobiology. I am a student and trainee of my dance and movement mentor Zuza Engler and I am trained in Somatic Experiencing which is a bio-psycho-social framework for understanding and healing trauma that lives in the body especially the autonomic nervous system.
Additional information:
Dance and movement are forms of expression and practice that support us in contacting the innate intelligence of our body. Our body is an expression of Earth and Cosmos and as such we embody the wisdom of Earth and Cosmos. When we allow the wisdom of our body to guide us, we are able to tune into the Natural and coherent frequency of Life that brings us into harmony with the quiet, spontaneous, and effortless current of Reality.
How do we get out of our own way to allow our body to be an uninhibited expression of the Artist that we call the Universe? We will explore this guiding inquiry together in our sessions.
We will work together to create a structure wherein you feel safe and empowered to explore movement both in your own flow and with me as a relational practice partner.
Here are some options on the menu for us to potentially anchor into as we explore practicing embodying our aliveness together:
• intrapersonal focus on releasing stuck energy
• intrapersonal focus on liberating movement and cultivating intuitive expression
• authentic movement and adjacent expressive intrapersonal forms
• interpersonal focus on approach, engagement, attunement, and disengagement in dance
• interpersonal focus on moving with other while remaining in touch with self; with or without physical contact
• contact improv and adjacent expressive interpersonal forms
