SUMMARY:Group Shake
DESCRIPTION:Group Shake (in-person only) \n\n\n\n5.30-6.30pm January 12 (60 mins) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGroup 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! \n\n\n\n$10-$25 (with Sonic Immersion $8-20 – Come just for the Shake\, or stay on for the Sonic Immersion right after) \n\n\n\nLocation- This event will take place in the Barn. If you’re coming to WildHeart for the first time\, please visit our Directions page for arrival info. \n\n\n\nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER

SUMMARY:8-Week Winter Movement Series
DESCRIPTION:The Winter Movement Series offers a rich opportunity to try many different forms of movement\, meet new people\, and get the body going during the cold months! \n\n\n\nAll workshops are Open Level\, anyone and everyone interested in moving creatively and collaboratively in a supportive environment is welcome to join. \n\n\n\nPlease read each workshop description to learn more about what will be offered.  \n\n\n\nAll workshops are OPEN TO ALL. If you have knee pads\, consider bringing them. Wear comfortable clothing and bring a water bottle. \n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDates:  \n\n\n\nThursdays 6-8pm (Biodanza: 6-8:30) \n\n\n\nTrial week: January 9th\, come check it out\, by donation! \n\n\n\n8-week series: January 16\, 23\, 30\, February 6\, 13\, 20\, 27\, and March 6 \n\n\n\nDrop-ins welcome. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\nCost: \n\n\n\nSliding scale per class: $15-$30  \n\n\n\nSliding scale for the whole series: $110-$220 \n\n\n\n*No one turned away for lack of funds \n\n\n\n**We are offering 2 free BIPOC spots for each class. Please reach out to get the code if you are interested in one of these spots. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJanuary 9: Contemporary Dance (Trial week\, workshop by donation!) \n\n\n\nNeva Cockrell (she/her)  \n\n\n\nJoin Neva for an accessible\, welcoming\, body-positive dance environment. The workshop will begin with a technique-based warm up with an emphasis on grace\, strength\, and body awareness. Next\, we’ll do a series of exercises to build specific Contemporary Dance skills and an ability to move freely with ease. We’ll then learn a contemporary phrase\, practicing full-body movement and musicality. All the while breathing\, connecting\, and generally having a great time! Neva’s unique style of contemporary dance blends modern techniques and somatic movement\, with a touch of both ballet and acrobatics.  \n\n\n\n\nJanuary 16: Somatic Movement Exploration \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNikita Patel (she/her)  \n\n\n\nWe will use both language and other parts of the brain-body to create individual movement vocabulary to help make sense of everyday life experiences.  \n\n\n\nJanuary 23: BIODANZA\, THE ART OF VIVENCIA* \n\n\n\nCircles\, walks\, dances\, games\, archetypal gestures\, authentic encounters with oneself\, others\, the world\, music and silence… Biodanza is an invitation to cultivate the «Art of Vivencia»\, the ability to be completely invested in the moment. It allows us to explore gesture as the vocabulary that creates the songs of our lives and to rekindle our connection to self\, \n\n\n\nothers and the world. Reconnecting with simple movements of everyday living\, we’ll weave our dances in passionate blissful dialogues of humanity\, in moving poetry\, rediscovering the joy and profound grace of being alive… together! \n\n\n\n*Biodanza is for everyone\, proficient dancers and people \n\n\n\nwho still think they cannot dance. \n\n\n\n**Please note this workshop is from 6-8:30. \n\n\n\n\nJanuary 30: Partnering  \n\n\n\nCourtney Moreno (she/they) \n\n\n\nWe will warm up by playing with how the solo body can partner with the floor\, walls\, and each other\, through relating as well as using touch/contact. Partnering phrases will be taught as well as generated through prompts\, and lead to a final group dance. \n\n\n\nFebruary 6: Collaborative Explorations through Scores: Mutually Authored Improvisation \n\n\n\nLauren Mark 麥心怡 (she/her) \n\n\n\nClass will be a combination of suggestions and invitations for shared offerings\, following a theme inspired by seasonal elements and movements from Chinese medicine. In January\, Lauren will start by suggesting circular and spiraling movement sequences to warm the body\, collecting energy through a centripetal\, inner-directed energetic focus that mirrors that of winter’s corresponding element – water. Movers will then be invited to collaboratively create scores\, a method that takes ideas\, images\, and metaphors to set up exercises for everyone to explore the theme in motion\, together. Lauren is interested in inviting everyone who shows up to dance opportunities for mutual inspiration and individual spontaneity\, experimenting with both the familiar and unfamiliar. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFebruary 13: Moving Musically and Theatrically  \n\n\n\nJerylann Warner (she/her) \n\n\n\nTogether we will learn fun phrases that bring lyrics to life! What makes choreography musical and theatrical is typically performative for sure but it also requires cunning acuity and full on expression. Like living room dancing and shower singing.  \n\n\n\nExpect to learn phrases that are staged\, singing is NOT required but welcome. All levels. \n\n\n\n\nFebruary 20 BIODANZA\, THE ART OF VIVENCIA* \n\n\n\nCircles\, walks\, dances\, games\, archetypal gestures\, authentic encounters with oneself\, others\, the world\, music and silence… Biodanza is an invitation to cultivate the «Art of Vivencia»\, the ability to be completely invested in the moment.

Supported by the space in and around us\, as well as the room as a whole\, we will utilize various kinds of music/sound\, guided kinesthetic imagery and hands-on partner studies. Through our practice together\, we will cultivate letting go of unnecessary tension(s) and\, at one’s own pace\, allow for new movement possibilities to arise. \n\n\n\nReleasing is beneficial to movers at any level\, with or without previous dance training\, to people recovering from injuries\, as well as to professional dancers\, actors\, musicians and artists of all kinds. This class is OPEN TO ALL. \n\n\n\nMarch 6: BIODANZA\, THE ART OF VIVENCIA* \n\n\n\nCircles\, walks\, dances\, games\, archetypal gestures\, authentic encounters with oneself\, others\, the world\, music and silence… Biodanza is an invitation to cultivate the «Art of Vivencia»\, the ability to be completely invested in the moment.

SUMMARY:Practice Weekend
DESCRIPTION:Start your New Year in meditation\, movement and song with Neva and Raffles! This will be a silent weekend infused with sitting and walking meditation\, yoga\, singing\, and ceremony. All the spaces will be lightly guided and held\, though 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. There will sometimes be light guidance during meditation and other periods will be fully in silence. \n\n\n\nIn order to connect with the winter season\, we will do some walking and sitting meditation outside! So please bring appropriate clothes and shoes to be comfortable being outside for periods of practice (snow gear).  \n\n\n\nWe will go into silence on Friday evening at the opening ceremony and come out of silence on Sunday morning after the closing ceremony. There will be time to connect and socialize on Friday afternoon and Sunday afternoon.  \n\n\n\nWe will prepare\, eat\, and clean together dinner on Friday before going into silence\, and again together for lunch on Sunday after the closing ceremony. Please bring your own food for Saturday breakfast / lunch / dinner and Sunday breakfast.

Please reach out to get the code if you are interested in one of these spots. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJanuary 9: Contemporary Dance (Trial week\, workshop by donation!) \n\n\n\nNeva Cockrell (she/her)  \n\n\n\nJoin Neva for an accessible\, welcoming\, body-positive dance environment. The workshop will begin with a technique-based warm up with an emphasis on grace\, strength\, and body awareness. Next\, we’ll do a series of exercises to build specific Contemporary Dance skills and an ability to move freely with ease. We’ll then learn a contemporary phrase\, practicing full-body movement and musicality. All the while breathing\, connecting\, and generally having a great time! Neva’s unique style of contemporary dance blends modern techniques and somatic movement\, with a touch of both ballet and acrobatics.  \n\n\n\n\nJanuary 16: Somatic Movement Exploration \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNikita Patel (she/her)  \n\n\n\nWe will use both language and other parts of the brain-body to create individual movement vocabulary to help make sense of everyday life experiences.  \n\n\n\nJanuary 23: BIODANZA\, THE ART OF VIVENCIA* \n\n\n\nCircles\, walks\, dances\, games\, archetypal gestures\, authentic encounters with oneself\, others\, the world\, music and silence… Biodanza is an invitation to cultivate the «Art of Vivencia»\, the ability to be completely invested in the moment.

Reconnecting with simple movements of everyday living\, we’ll weave our dances in passionate blissful dialogues of humanity\, in moving poetry\, rediscovering the joy and profound grace of being alive… together! \n\n\n\n*Biodanza is for everyone\, proficient dancers and people \n\n\n\nwho still think they cannot dance. \n\n\n\n**Please note this workshop is from 6-8:30. \n\n\n\n\nJanuary 30: Partnering  \n\n\n\nCourtney Moreno (she/they) \n\n\n\nWe will warm up by playing with how the solo body can partner with the floor\, walls\, and each other\, through relating as well as using touch/contact. Partnering phrases will be taught as well as generated through prompts\, and lead to a final group dance. \n\n\n\nFebruary 6: Collaborative Explorations through Scores: Mutually Authored Improvisation \n\n\n\nLauren Mark 麥心怡 (she/her) \n\n\n\nClass will be a combination of suggestions and invitations for shared offerings\, following a theme inspired by seasonal elements and movements from Chinese medicine. In January\, Lauren will start by suggesting circular and spiraling movement sequences to warm the body\, collecting energy through a centripetal\, inner-directed energetic focus that mirrors that of winter’s corresponding element – water. Movers will then be invited to collaboratively create scores\, a method that takes ideas\, images\, and metaphors to set up exercises for everyone to explore the theme in motion\, together. Lauren is interested in inviting everyone who shows up to dance opportunities for mutual inspiration and individual spontaneity\, experimenting with both the familiar and unfamiliar. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFebruary 13: Moving Musically and Theatrically  \n\n\n\nJerylann Warner (she/her) \n\n\n\nTogether we will learn fun phrases that bring lyrics to life! What makes choreography musical and theatrical is typically performative for sure but it also requires cunning acuity and full on expression. Like living room dancing and shower singing.  \n\n\n\nExpect to learn phrases that are staged\, singing is NOT required but welcome. All levels. \n\n\n\n\nFebruary 20 BIODANZA\, THE ART OF VIVENCIA* \n\n\n\nCircles\, walks\, dances\, games\, archetypal gestures\, authentic encounters with oneself\, others\, the world\, music and silence… Biodanza is an invitation to cultivate the «Art of Vivencia»\, the ability to be completely invested in the moment.

Supported by the space in and around us\, as well as the room as a whole\, we will utilize various kinds of music/sound\, guided kinesthetic imagery and hands-on partner studies. Through our practice together\, we will cultivate letting go of unnecessary tension(s) and\, at one’s own pace\, allow for new movement possibilities to arise. \n\n\n\nReleasing is beneficial to movers at any level\, with or without previous dance training\, to people recovering from injuries\, as well as to professional dancers\, actors\, musicians and artists of all kinds. This class is OPEN TO ALL. \n\n\n\nMarch 6: BIODANZA\, THE ART OF VIVENCIA* \n\n\n\nCircles\, walks\, dances\, games\, archetypal gestures\, authentic encounters with oneself\, others\, the world\, music and silence… Biodanza is an invitation to cultivate the «Art of Vivencia»\, the ability to be completely invested in the moment.

SUMMARY:Group Shake
DESCRIPTION:Group Shake (in-person only) \n\n\n\n5-6.30pm January 12 (60-75 mins) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGroup 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! \n\n\n\n$10-$25 (with Sonic Immersion $8-20 – Come just for the Shake\, or stay on for the Sonic Immersion right after) \n\n\n\nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER \n\n\n\nLocation – This workshop will take place in the Barn. If you’re coming to WildHeart for the first time\, please visit our Directions page for arrival info.

The workshop will begin with a technique-based warm up with an emphasis on grace\, strength\, and body awareness. Next\, we’ll do a series of exercises to build specific Contemporary Dance skills and an ability to move freely with ease. We’ll then learn a contemporary phrase\, practicing full-body movement and musicality. All the while breathing\, connecting\, and generally having a great time! Neva’s unique style of contemporary dance blends modern techniques and somatic movement\, with a touch of both ballet and acrobatics.  \n\n\n\n\nJanuary 16: Somatic Movement Exploration \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNikita Patel (she/her)  \n\n\n\nWe will use both language and other parts of the brain-body to create individual movement vocabulary to help make sense of everyday life experiences.  \n\n\n\nJanuary 23: BIODANZA\, THE ART OF VIVENCIA* \n\n\n\nCircles\, walks\, dances\, games\, archetypal gestures\, authentic encounters with oneself\, others\, the world\, music and silence… Biodanza is an invitation to cultivate the «Art of Vivencia»\, the ability to be completely invested in the moment.

In January\, Lauren will start by suggesting circular and spiraling movement sequences to warm the body\, collecting energy through a centripetal\, inner-directed energetic focus that mirrors that of winter’s corresponding element – water. Movers will then be invited to collaboratively create scores\, a method that takes ideas\, images\, and metaphors to set up exercises for everyone to explore the theme in motion\, together. Lauren is interested in inviting everyone who shows up to dance opportunities for mutual inspiration and individual spontaneity\, experimenting with both the familiar and unfamiliar. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFebruary 13: Moving Musically and Theatrically  \n\n\n\nJerylann Warner (she/her) \n\n\n\nTogether we will learn fun phrases that bring lyrics to life! What makes choreography musical and theatrical is typically performative for sure but it also requires cunning acuity and full on expression. Like living room dancing and shower singing.  \n\n\n\nExpect to learn phrases that are staged\, singing is NOT required but welcome.

This class is OPEN TO ALL. \n\n\n\nMarch 6: BIODANZA\, THE ART OF VIVENCIA* \n\n\n\nCircles\, walks\, dances\, games\, archetypal gestures\, authentic encounters with oneself\, others\, the world\, music and silence… Biodanza is an invitation to cultivate the «Art of Vivencia»\, the ability to be completely invested in the moment. It allows us to explore gesture as the vocabulary that creates the songs of our lives and to rekindle our connection to self\, \n\n\n\nothers and the world. Reconnecting with simple movements of everyday living\, we’ll weave our dances in passionate blissful dialogues of humanity\, in moving poetry\, rediscovering the joy and profound grace of being alive… together! \n\n\n\n*Biodanza is for everyone\, proficient dancers and people who still think they cannot dance. \n\n\n\n**Please note this workshop is from 6-8:30. \n\n\n\n\nRegister

The workshop will begin with a technique-based warm up with an emphasis on grace\, strength\, and body awareness. Next\, we’ll do a series of exercises to build specific Contemporary Dance skills and an ability to move freely with ease. We’ll then learn a contemporary phrase\, practicing full-body movement and musicality. All the while breathing\, connecting\, and generally having a great time! Neva’s unique style of contemporary dance blends modern techniques and somatic movement\, with a touch of both ballet and acrobatics.  \n\n\n\n\nJanuary 16: Somatic Movement Exploration \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNiki Patel (she/her)  \n\n\n\nWe will use both language and other parts of the brain-body to create individual movement vocabulary to help make sense of everyday life experiences.  \n\n\n\nJanuary 23: BIODANZA\, THE ART OF VIVENCIA* \n\n\n\nCircles\, walks\, dances\, games\, archetypal gestures\, authentic encounters with oneself\, others\, the world\, music and silence… Biodanza is an invitation to cultivate the «Art of Vivencia»\, the ability to be completely invested in the moment.

Partnering phrases will be taught as well as generated through prompts\, and lead to a final group dance. \n\n\n\nFebruary 6: Collaborative Explorations through Scores: Mutually Authored Improvisation \n\n\n\nLauren Mark 麥心怡 (she/her) \n\n\n\nClass will be a combination of suggestions and invitations for shared offerings\, following a theme inspired by seasonal elements and movements from Chinese medicine. In January\, Lauren will start by suggesting circular and spiraling movement sequences to warm the body\, collecting energy through a centripetal\, inner-directed energetic focus that mirrors that of winter’s corresponding element – water. Movers will then be invited to collaboratively create scores\, a method that takes ideas\, images\, and metaphors to set up exercises for everyone to explore the theme in motion\, together. Lauren is interested in inviting everyone who shows up to dance opportunities for mutual inspiration and individual spontaneity\, experimenting with both the familiar and unfamiliar. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFebruary 13: Moving Musically and Theatrically  \n\n\n\nJerylann Warner (she/her) \n\n\n\nTogether we will learn fun phrases that bring lyrics to life! What makes choreography musical and theatrical is typically performative for sure but it also requires cunning acuity and full on expression. Like living room dancing and shower singing.  \n\n\n\nExpect to learn phrases that are staged\, singing is NOT required but welcome. All levels. \n\n\n\n\nFebruary 20 BIODANZA\, THE ART OF VIVENCIA* \n\n\n\nCircles\, walks\, dances\, games\, archetypal gestures\, authentic encounters with oneself\, others\, the world\, music and silence… Biodanza is an invitation to cultivate the «Art of Vivencia»\, the ability to be completely invested in the moment.

SUMMARY:Somatic Movement Education Program - Nervous System Module
DESCRIPTION:NERVOUS SYSTEM 3/7 – 3/17/25 (days off 3/11 & 3/12)Arrivals\, orientation and welcome dinner 3/7/25. Morning Departures 3/17 (day off if you’re staying for Endocrine) \n\n\n\nExperience first occurs on the cellular level. The nervous system is the recording system of the body. It records our experiences and organizes them into patterns. It can then recall the experience and modify it by integrating it with patterns of other systems and previous experiences. The nervous system is the last to know\, but\, once knowing\, it becomes a major control center of psychophysical processes. It can initiate the learning of new experience through creativity and play. The nervous system underlies alertness\, thought\, and precision of coordination and establishes the perceptual base from which we view and interact with our internal and external worlds.

SUMMARY:Shake with Niki
DESCRIPTION:Shake with Niki (in-person only) \n\n\n\n4:30 – 5:30pm Second Sunday of every month\, starting November 10th (60-75 mins) \n\n\n\nGroup 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! \n\n\n\n$10-$25
