A Non-Scary Introduction to Movement as a New Way of Knowing, Inquiry, Visioning, and Action
We tend to look outwards for ways to act on challenges. But have you explored your body’s natural movement as a knowledge stepping stone supporting pathways to next steps in problem solving? Join Lisa Corak in this fully experiential and inclusive workshop to explore natural movement to find and use our internal wisdoms. You will receive two types of movement tools to begin your individual explorations, then practice using natural movement language in a group setting that will challenge and broaden our understanding of nonverbal communication as a way of knowledge. The tools and resources offered in this session will help navigate and organize reflections in a more easeful way for communicating ideas when words alone may cause a barrier to equitable representation and articulating a way forward.
