Join body mechanics and mobility coach Mandy Hackman and psychotherapist and educator Amie Anderson for a weekend of emerging from the deep freeze of winter. We will create space within ourselves to thaw out, applying wisdom from Somatic Experiencing and movement-based somatic exploration that honor the nervous system’s mechanisms for safety and interconnection. Together, we will reignite agency for those who are feeling stuck, indecisive, or frozen as we welcome the coming spring. We will offer a space to become curious about freeze, reconnect with our bodies, and expand into resilience with movement, art, and conceptual exploration. As nature cycles through freeze and thaw, we will honor the wisdom in our bodies and invite new possibilities.

Rivers through, Oceans in is a collaborative and somatic movement workshop taught by Maya Schwartz and Jessy Crist. In this workshop we will explore the body’s natural tides of movement and connection to internal waters through creative practice, contemporary dance, somatic practice, and contact improvisation.

Our intention for this 9-day program is to practice meditation on the relational field. Where a traditional meditation retreat might have practitioners focusing on their breath, or sensations throughout their body, this meditation practice will have us focusing on what is coming up between us in relationship moment-to-moment, the ever-unfolding dance between self and other.
