Connect to your creative spirit at Vocal Tapestry - a safe and fun space to weave together the principles of spontaneous composition, such as rhythm, melody, and dynamics. Each week, we will play games and learn practices that focus on a specific element of vocal improvisation to develop your awareness, skills, and confidence.
Authentic Movement is a contemplative dance practice where a mover explores the unconscious mind through self-directed, expressive movement while being witnessed with compassion and non-judgment. This relational practice of “seeing and being seen” fosters trust, self-awareness, and a deeper connection to one’s inner experience.

Facilitated by Jules Pashall and Scarlet Tunkl, this retreat will explore and celebrate the magic of being present and embodied with fatness in community with other fat folx. We will use touch, movement, noise making and creative play to experience the sensuality inherent in our fat tissue. This retreat will uplift fatness as more than just a descriptor of bodies, but as an energy and access point to sensual presence. Each activity will pull inspiration from the formal qualities of fat: soft, lush, velvety, deep, full, whole. This retreat will have a special focus on touch so that we can learn new things about how we like to be loved, touched and tended.

Group Shake - A somatic movement practice during which we will shake to music or sometimes, silence. Shaking, individually but as part of a group to ground us, can be healing as it is a natural way to relieve tension. You may choose to shake standing, seated, lying down or alternating between those depending on what your body needs in the moment. You can choose your own intensity, when to stop or when to keep going as you listen to your own body. While it is important to keep ourselves open to what, if anything, may arise emotionally, please only engage to the degree that you can still care for yourself. This is not a therapeutic space. The practice will start with a demonstration and it will end in silence. Dress comfortably and stay hydrated!
