EMBODIED RELATING
1 NOVEMBER 2025, 4-6 PM
Open, closed. Expanded, contracted. Light, heavy.
How do we sense what we are feeling? How do we know what we need in a moment? How do we catch a sensation in the body, harvest its information, and act on it with ease?
This workshop invites us to explore the art of self-attunement in the company of others.
We’ll work with solo, partnered, and group exercises to explore human connections from a place of bodily awareness – what are our inner messages and where are our outer edges?
There may be stretching, shaking, rolling, bouncing, talking, listening, conversing, and more.
All exercises are optional. There will be a space in the room to self- or co-regulate if you choose to sit out of an activity. Everyone is welcome; come, if you can, with an open mind and heart.
Cost: $35
Location: Manumission Yoga, 495 Oxford St, Paddington (opposite Centennial Park)
