A Multi-generational Collaboration with the community of MOVE ORKNEY and Emergent Nature

I am returning to the dance communities of Scotland and England this summer, with so much energy to continue on the heels of my 2022 program at Scotland's National Centre for Dance, Dance Base @dancebase , exploring "Understanding Trauma from a Somatic Perspective."

In addition to time in collaboration with the Royal Academy of Dance @royalacademyofdance at the University of Bath for a program exploring somatics and meditation for healing, I'll be heading to the Orkney Islands of northern Scotland.

Move Orkney @moveorkney and Stephanie Hellewell's strength as a community voice and guide in the healing power of movement are a beacon to many. I will be facilitating multiple programs for youth, dance and arts professionals, community caregivers and healthcare workers, folks living with neurodegenerative conditions and chronic pain syndromes, and an offering open to all adults in the community.

I am feeling so much gratitude that the benefits of somatic inquiry combined with nervous system education is forging a larger path in how we can support our own and each others' whole health and biological resiliency, while stewarding this Earth and the lands and waters and skies we share.
