Everyone has a story to tell, but few of us have the opportunity to express ourselves freely in a safe and supportive environment. Stories reside in the body, so we will begin by moving from our center, giving voice and gesture to our private characters and realities. Unbounded self-expression is remarkably satisfying–for the heart, the mind, the soul, and the body.

This workshop includes relaxation, meditation, movement, singing, storytelling, and theater games, and offers participants the opportunity to:
  • Explore the integration of body, mind, and spirit
  • Become more playful and at ease in collaboration with others
  • Experience an enhanced sense of well-being
  • Learn physical and spiritual tools to translate one’s inner life into theater
  • Surprise yourself and enliven your daily life
