The muscles establish a tensile three-dimensional grid for the balanced support and movement of the skeletal structure by providing the elastic forces that move the bones through space. They provide the dynamic contents of the outer envelope of flesh encompassing the skeletal structure. Through this system we embody our vitality, express our power, and engage in the dialogue of resistance and resolution.
10/10 - 10/20/25 (days off 10/13 & 10/17)
Completion of other SME courses is a prerequisite. Time is spent considering what it means to be a professional and how do you transition into this role? This course will cover some of the important issues facing professionals in the somatic field.

The Logic of Support
This workshop will look at Gait Mechanics and human fascial anatomy as a resource for exploring the fundamentals of human locomotion and dance. We will work with Contact Improvisation and The Axis Syllabus© as resources for finding support.
Waiting for the Weight
We are disassembling and reassembling all the time into different shapes. The “success” of motion comes from a balance of tension and release. Together we will explore our ability to “fall and catch” ourselves and others using the Axis Syllabus© and Contact Improvisation.

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.
Vija’s two-hour contemporary class begins with a full-body Simonson Technique warmup, balancing stretching, strengthening, and dance technique. Dancers then move through progressions across the floor before learning a longer combination and closing with improvisation. Her classes emphasize musicality, fluidity, and emotion.

Queer Body Jam/Improv is a monthly dance/flow class for Queer Bodies! This is an all-levels movement class made for every body.

This Authentic Movement Immersion offers space to explore the Self and relational connection, awaken the multidimensional layers of the psyche, and cultivate conscious awareness through embodiment. Together we will practice seeing and being seen, moving and witnessing, speaking and holding silence.

Start your New Year in meditation, movement and song with Neva and Raffles! This silent meditation retreat is infused with sitting and walking meditation, yoga, singing, and ceremony. All the spaces will be lightly guided and held, so some experience in each of these practices will be helpful. We will meditate alternating sessions of 30 minutes of seated meditation with 10 minutes of walking meditation, for several hours each day. Sometimes there will be light guidance during meditation and other periods will be silent.

Three skilled practitioners will be offering a variety of sessions for you to choose from throughout the weekend. Whether you’re looking to connect more deeply with your body, recenter your mind, release built-up tension, restore safety within your nervous system, or find a sense of inner clarity, our practitioners each bring their own unique expertise in facilitation and guidance.
