Meeting the Ocean Within | Bodyfulness Deep Dive

A weekend workshop in Authentic Movement, somatic exploration, and improvisation.

MEETING THE OCEAN WITHIN

Exploring depth, emotion, and movement from the unseen

Allow yourself to be... soft, wild, uncertain, curious, tender, whole
Allow yourself to move, to feel, to be seen
Allow yourself to be you

This weekend is an invitation to dive deeply into the inner tides of being — through Authentic Movement, somatics, improvisation, and expressive arts practices. We’ll move between inner listening and shared witnessing, exploring the meeting points between self and other, movement and stillness, depth and surface.

“The body is the home of feeling; the house of memory. To heal, we need access to it.”

Authentic Movement is a form in which individuals discover a movement pathway that offers a bridge between the conscious and the unconscious. We’ll invite what lives beneath the surface to find expression: body sensations, movement impulses, dream images, memories, imagination – all of what’s there; being moved by that material spontaneously.

Throughout the weekend we will practice moving and witnessing, sharing and listening deeply from a place of integrity and authenticity. We'll embed our inner explorations in somatic practices to strengthen our connection to the living body, improvisation to find our lightness and creative potential, and we will use different tools (ie. bodywork, drawing, writing) for processing, self-reflection and integration.

This work supports us in navigating our life from a more grounded and embodied place, one that is anchored in trust and connectedness.

Held in a supportive community, this weekend offers a space for nourishment before the busy season ahead — you can think of it as a retreat for yourself, taking it how you need it: to rest, to reflect, to meet the tides of your inner ocean with care, compassion and honesty.

“Authentic Movement facilitates a descent into the inner world of the psyche through natural movement. The practice develops a sense of embodied presence, of being ‘at home’ in the body.” Tina Stromsted: Authentic Movement: A dance with the divine

Come as you are. This workshop is open to anyone curious about embodied exploration and movement as a way of reconnecting to that feeling of being at home in the body.

She’s dedicated to inspiring personal transformation through embodied practices. Her work is based on dance pedagogical, dance- and body therapeutic as well as holistic methods. Her teaching style can be described as sensitive, caring and playful.
