Saturday at 8:45 AM | Soma 5 Stages with Helen
Before we dance our way into The Creator at 10:00 AM, we’ll begin the morning by meeting this archetype in a creatively different way from the ground up.
In this special Soma 5 Stages experience, Helen will guide us through the developmental movement patterns of Embryonic, Creeping, Crawling, Crouching, and Walking, exploring how each stage can awaken a different quality of creative possibility within us.
The Creator isn't only the part of us that makes art, writes music, builds businesses, or dreams up new ideas.
The Creator lives in our body.
The Creator within is the impulse to explore.
To experiment.
To adapt.
To discover a new way of moving.
To take what is already here and transform it into something uniquely our own.
We'll begin close to the floor, allowing the body to move without the pressure of performance or perfection. Through the five stages, we'll gradually awaken, organize, rise, and eventually find our way into walking, letting each stage offer its own invitation to sense, discover, create, and express.
Along the way, we'll incorporate EFT tapping to help soften some of the inner voices that can interfere with creativity. Such as the need to get it right, the fear of making a mistake, the tendency to compare ourselves with others, or the belief that our expression has to look a certain way.
What if creativity doesn't begin with knowing what to do?
What if creativity begins with being willing to discover?
Through movement, sensation, tapping, reflection, and prayer, we'll create space for that discovery.
We'll close by wrapping the experience in prayer, giving thanks for the creative life within us and opening ourselves to whatever wants to emerge. Not necessarily something big or dramatic, but perhaps a new feeling, a new possibility, a new way of seeing, or simply a deeper connection with ourselves.
And then, if you choose to stay, we'll take that creative energy into the 10:00 AM Soma Faith Dance class, where we'll turn up the music, bring out the playful side of The Creator, and dance Bailando.
8:45 AM Go inward.
10:00 AM Come outward.
Two different ways to explore the same invitation:
Discover what wants to move within you…
and then give it permission to move through you.
