And we just
have to learn to tune up, listen and feel , and let this story happen.
This workshop
is an introduction to
the discipline of Authentic
Movement.
Authentic Movement as
a form of active imagination through
the movement cultivates a contemplative
frame of mind, clarity of perception, and movement that is personally
enhancing.
Authentic Movement helps to
restore the contact with your own
body-self, to understand the body
language, to maintain and develop your Self, increase
the clarity of perception and
expression of inner meanings and
images in your movement
and speech.
We
shall learn how movement that
emerges from the depths
of the body and in the core
of Dream Space of our Soul can be
the path to personal transformation, healing and spiritual
journey.

Authentic Movement is a simple form of self-directed movement. It is usually done with eyes closed and attention directed inward, in the presence of at least one witness. Movers explore spontaneous gestures, movements, and stillness, following inner impulses in the present moment. The witness watches and tracks inner responses to the mover with the intention of not judging, but focusing on self-awareness.
Authentic Movement is practiced individually or in a group with an experienced teacher/witness. When more experienced movers are taught to become witnesses themselves, they may continue working with this method in peer groups and dyads.
Authentic Movement's original practitioners integrated Jung's concept of active imagination with modern dance movement improvisation. Students of pioneers such as Mary Whitehouse, Joan Chodorow, and Janet Adler have developed the form in various ways including:
- as a meditative, spiritual practice that
integrates body and mind for increased access to consciousness.
- as part of psychotherapy process, for enhanced
sense of self and and well-being; often bringing unconscious thoughts to
awareness.
- as artistic support, to connect with creativity
and creative process, unblocking and opening to new ideas.
- as community outreach and development in
community long circles, that address and solve community-wide problems.
Authentic Movement has grown and evolved over many years. It is an open and unfolding form.
