Forgiveness is often talked about as something we “should” do – especially forgiving ourselves. But what does it actually mean, and how does it live in the body?

This is a 2-session workshop that will focus on forgiveness in multiple dimensions - asking forgiveness, being asked to forgive, self-forgiveness, how forgiveness lives in a world in which there is much complicity in collective harm. Through resonant movement and warmhearted conversation, this experiential workshop unpacks forgiveness and the many feelings and sensations that may swirl around this potentially complicated experience.

All movement invitations are optional. Whatever range of motion and mode of expression-including meditation/stillness - feels authentic and comfortable for you is welcome.

You are welcome to attend either or both workshops:

How can we touch our grief and not be consumed?

This workshop invites us to explore and express the grief that is held in our bodies. When we are accompanied in our grief, we can become more present to ourselves and others. Self-empathy, rooted in the principles of Non-Violent Communication, coupled with creative movement, invites us to compassionately connect with our experiences - reducing anxiety, and allowing more flow and ease. In this space of empathic listening and embodied self-expression, we can find comfort, understanding, acceptance, and ultimately, healing.

Choreographer and Transformational Facilitator Sasha Soreff, offers a gentle warm up, discussion and guided (optional) movement exploration. Whatever range of motion and mode of expression feels authentic and comfortable for you is welcome.

To hold paradox is to acknowledge the many feelings, needs, and thoughts we can be experiencing simultaneously. Embracing this multiplicity, with movement and empathy, can be a step toward wholeness.

In this space of creative expression, and empathic listening, rooted in the principles of Non-Violent Communication, we welcome the many layers and complexities of our beings. This space of movement and accompaniment supports integration, understanding, and ease.

In times of stress, a sense of playfulness can be quick to disappear and slow to return without intentional cultivation. For some of us, acting playfully was subtly (or not) discouraged, and can be hard to come by organically.

In this space of creative expression, and empathic listening, rooted in the principles of Non-Violent Communication, we can reconnect with the playful parts of ourselves.

Where do you find a sense of flow in your life? What inhibits that flow? Self-empathy, rooted in the principles of Non-Violent Communication, coupled with creative movement, invites us to compassionately connect with our experiences, reduce anxiety, and find more flow and ease. Choreographer and Transformational Facilitator Sasha Soreff offers a gentle warm up, followed by discussion and movement exploration. All movement invitations are non obligatory. Everything can be done seated, and can be enacted in any way that feels good to the participant.

This experiential workshop is an invitation to give voice and movement to that which your heart carries. There is much to mourn, and it can be hard to get in touch with our grief – and our joy – alone. In this space of empathic listening and embodied self-expression, we can find comfort, understanding, new insights, and ultimately, healing. After a gentle warm-up, we’ll learn basic movement generation tools, and explore that which we celebrate and mourn, individually and collectively. All movement invitations are optional. Whatever range of motion and mode of expression feels authentic and comfortable for you is welcome.

In these times - pandemic numbers rising, the holiday season, a US transition of power, and the resulting potential increase in BIPOC-targeting – how do we build our internal capacity to stay present? By turning inward, first. As we connect with our own feelings and needs, we get more centered, and less anxious. This in turn enhances our ability to show up for others and for circumstances in alignment with our values. Empathy tools, rooted in the principles of Non-Violent Communication, will be offered to support self-connection. Choreographer and Transformational Facilitator Sasha Soreff offers a gentle warm up, followed by discussion and movement exploration. All movement invitations are non obligatory. Everything can be done seated, and can be enacted in any way that feels good to the participant.
