Compassion Marbles - moving with imagery

With Jack Philp

Underpinned with theoretical knowledge from mindfulness approaches and practices, this session will explore movement through improvisation. This session will gently introduce us to new ways of moving and explore how we may give a sense of compassion to our bodies. We will explore relaxation exercises and build towards moving with imagery; using it as a tool to arrive to moving with sensation and feeling. The session is designed to fuel increased self awareness and will build in space for discovery, reflection and conversation. This session is ideal for those with little to no experience of movement as well as those who have previous knowledge. We hope that you will leave this session feeling connected and warmed.
