Somatic Expression is a combination of physical education, sustainable bodywork and the therapeutic/ expressive arts. The work is experientially-based, exploring the inner landscape of the body with the pre-verbal elements of breath, sound, touch, stillness, and movement.

In this workshop, we will focus on the dynamics of touch and contact. We will explore the seven types of touch that can be used with ourselves and each other. Each type of touch creates a different form of relationship and a unique state of mind. Breath, sound, movement and stillness practices will be combined with the touch explorations to deepen sensory awareness and stimulate expression and insight.
