These are not gentle times. The world presses hard, fast, and loud, and many of us are carrying more than we know how to hold. Rage, fear, grief, and urgency — energies that don’t easily soothe or settle — have worn hope thin.

‍

This workshop is an invitation to move with what feels big, unruly, and alive. Instead of shutting down, pushing through, or collapsing under intensity, we’ll explore how to meet and channel it through the body, with guidance and care.

‍

We align with magnitude — the size and intensity of our experience. We dance with mayhem — disruption, chaos, loss of control. We open to monstrosity — the parts of us that may be hidden, inconvenient, feral, or frightening, yet deeply enlivening.

‍

Through guided movement, music, and art-making, we practice channeling big energies into motion and form, allowing intensity to become expressive and creative, rather than overwhelming or destructive.

‍

The space is clearly facilitated and well-contained, rooted in choice, gradation, and consent. All movements are invitational and adaptable. You choose how close you get. You choose the pace. You choose how much to share and in what form. Time will be included for grounding and integration.

‍

Expect uncertainty, transformation, and good company.
