Our capacity to notice…, be moved, & respond is not just a form of caregiving or love — it is a form of courage.”
Kelly McGonigal
Being With What Is
Through Mindfulness & Movement
Empower yourself in these challenging times, allowing the body, mind and spirit more fluidity and freedom. By utilizing practices that help connect with and release potentially suppressed feelings & impulses within, it’s possible to access and bring forth more resiliency and joy of living.
In a supportive and safe space, we will use Authentic Movement and other mind/body practices that encourage expression unique to each individual and to each moment, and as such, can encompass a full movement range, from large to small, or even complete stillness. Please note that while prior dance experience is helpful, it is not necessary. Beeara Edmonds & Russ Phillips will guide this ongoing group.
1st & 3rd Sundays, 3:30 – 5:30 p.m.
(please arrive 5 to 10 minutes early as doors will lock promptly at 3:30)
Downtown Dance, 223 NW 2nd St., Corvallis
Sliding Scale $10 – $25
