Fall Authentic Movement Introductory Workshop & Six-week Series

Through the practice of Authentic Movement, we investigate how, rather than moving our bodies in habitual ways, or those dictated by the outside,

we can be led by our bodies into movement.

​

Eyes-closed movers heeding impulses for movement and stillness, silence and sound, serve also as witnesses to one another, regarding each other with

compassion, curiosity and care.

​

This workshop and/or six week series are designed as an introduction to the practice, enabling participants the option to try out on-going facilitated peer groups.

​

Sunday, November 3rd, 2-4pm

Six-Week Wednesday Evening Series:

Individual Somatics Sessions

in Ann Arbor and Detroit (or on Zoom)

​

I help fellow artists, healers, clergy, culture makers, activists, educators, and other providers of care to

access resources through their bodies to lead their lives with support, clarity, authenticity, and meaning. 

 

One-on-one sessions offer individualized support to access your body’s wisdom, creativity, agency, resilience, and your birthright of an innate capacity for healing.

"I am so grateful to have discovered this practice. Stefanie has created a rare space to safely dive into the body's own messages and inner guidance, to allow movement itself to reveal, release, create and be. If your body is craving to move in complete creative freedom, unencumbered by right or wrong, or judgement; if you are curious what your body itself might reveal to you, I highly recommend this practice and Stefanie's work– she is a brilliant facilitator!"
