Shauna Devlin
Movement facilitator
Have you ever been really stuck in your writing process and instinctively given your head & hands a shake or gone for a walk? Does your creativity shift during or after you have moved your body? Our bodies hold the history of our lived experiences and inherited experiences, as Friedrich Nietzsche famously said, "There is more wisdom in your body than in your deepest philosophy.” When we consciously move our bodies and explore our own unique dance we have an opportunity to tap into a deep well of creativity, wisdom and healing. When we move our physical being we are also moving our internal landscape, lots and lots of ground to discover & explore.
In this workshop, Shauna will guide participants with music and invitations to support an exploration of what it is do one's own dance, write one's own story. Facilitated & self-led, participants are invited to follow their own unique responses to the music while being a part of the group, there are no steps to follow or beats to count, no getting it wrong or right, just courage to follow what comes up as beat, rhythm & lyric meet the dancer. No experience needed, all bodies have a dance to express & investigate.
