MOVEMENT IN RECOVERY
2024 Dates TBA
In this movement practice, we use movement to express repressed emotions healthily.
We explore what it feels like to support and feel supported by others, how to trust in relationships, and face life’s challenges with conviction and commitment.
Part of the recovery process of staying sober is creating new patterns of being and thinking, new behaviors, connection with others, and expressing emotions safely and healthily.
We can do this work in one-on-one sessions or small groups of two to six participants. The sessions include talking about what the individual is working on and the goals in recovery.
We explore what is challenging recovery, how to move through any obstacles, and release them from the mind and the places where they live in the body.
