SDP FACILITATOR TRAINING WITH SYLVIE MINOT
What is Outreach Facilitator Training?
Syzygy Dance Project is dedicated to making this world a better place through dance, and founder Sylvie Minot's annual Outreach Facilitator Training enables healthcare practitioners, counselors, recreation therapists, and experienced dancers to join this mission.
In this intensive 5-day training, you will explore how dance and movement can be used as a powerful resource and tool in working with specific outreach populations (i.e., in jails, recovery centers, hospitals, elder care facilities, and schools).
This work is a dynamic movement practice of being in the body that can catalyze deep healing, connection and creative expression.
As 5Rhythms Founder Gabrielle Roth states, "If you put your psyche in motion, it will heal itself."
In Syzygy Dance Project's own community outreach work, the significant impact of this work is witnessed by helping people make better life choices and be open to new possibilities in their lives

The training also involves discussions around specific outreach populations, and the challenge of bringing movement classes to groups resistant to or less comfortable with movement.
