Theatre of the Self
Accepting NO new registrations!
An adult wellness camp of a 4-day immersion into the self, our unconscious, through embodied movement and the creative arts to inspire creativity, personal insight, and transformation.
We will explore connection to your body, mind and spirit, through somatic practices: breath/sound, felt-sensation, developmental movement patterns and somatic movement, allowing us to deepen through embodiment into our life narrative and our unconscious. We will work with the expressive arts: drawing, painting, poetry, mask making, writing, and dialogue to express our past, current life, and potential. The hope is to deepen into a state of being that we can continue in living with more direct experience, vitality, authentic connection, and creativity. Overall, the retreat will help you relax, feel emotionally nourished and invigorated.
Ecology is a natural healer. Being in nature, walking barefoot, hiking, and finding a special spot to meditate will be incorporated. We will also spend time in silence that allows for deeper listening and sensory aliveness.
Authentic Movement will be offered. A movement practice influenced by Carl Jung’s Active Imagination, which sees the body as the container for unconscious material. In this practice unconscious material is made aware, through imagery and sensation, to allow inner impulses to initiate movement.
The proposed schedule:
Arrival 2 pm on Friday
Each day will begin with an embodiment practice. Followed by an exploration of self that will incorporate multimodal movement based creative arts.
Departure at noon on Monday.
No previous art experience is necessary, only a curiosity and openness for self-exploration is needed.
