- TITLE OF THE ACTIVITY:

To let go and begin again.

- DETAILED CONTENT DESCRIPTION:

A warm up: We will begin by zooming into the landscape of our own bodies to access a starting point to move from. Encouraging the listening enquiring mind to observe the whole sense of self in its own environment as well as attuning to receiving and taking from others within the surrounding space. As a focus to help us map and organize ourselves we will spend time learning and unlearning our habitual ways of moving through mini micro explorations of ‘Self, Other, Time and Space.’ as a way to develop a wakefulness in gently letting go to begin again and to encourage a readiness in the intelligence of the perceiving moving body.
