In times of challenge, we may lose connection to our deepest inner voice of guidance, wisdom and creativity. AUTHENTIC MOVEMENT, developed by Mary Starks Whitehouse and Janet Adler, is a contemplative movement practice that nourishes our inner knowing and imagination through a practice of moment to moment listening and attunement. The mover allows him/herself "to be moved", following whatever inner impulses may arise, ranging from stillness to dynamic movement. This is experienced in the presence of a witness, who observes the mover all the while holding an awareness of their own kinesthetic and emotional experience. AUTHENTIC MOVEMENT sessions may include drawing and/or writing following moving.
