THE WORDS THAT MOVE US W/ LAURE PORCHÉ AND TRACEE KAFER
You might have heard the phrase “Use your words” when you were younger… But do you know which words are YOUR words?
What is the language of your essence? Which words speak to your soul, your body, your senses, your imagination? Do you use them to propel yourself through difficulty, support your life or process your blind spots?
This session aims to explore your unique relationship to words and language, and guide you to start telling stories in your own tongue, both verbally and physically. We will explore our private glossary and start consciously putting it together to allow the deeper layers of ourselves to emerge.
Inner Movement Sessions: In this day and era, slowing down and inner work are not just nicety “self-care” trends, they are becoming necessity. The speed in which things move, evolve, and change activates us in a way that calls for more consistent efforts for regulation and integration. Our mind-body-emotional systems need care, attention, and processes that support better functioning and greater capacity.
Exploring/expressive spaces, growing in popularity because of evolving communities of practice, primarily utilize dance as the main vehicle. This doingness, while also beneficial and important, struggles to model and provide full permission and opportunity to do less, “be”, find slowness, stillness, introspection and rest; components proven to initiate deeper awareness, coherence, and vitality.
This new INNER MOVEMENT series covers the rituals, self-development work, mindbodyfulness, and curious inquiry that can be hard to habituate on your own. These sessions can hold you gently accountable for showing up for yourself, and cultivating connection with others. Instead of being required to structure and vary the practice, you can just show up and be in it.
These sessions blend seamlessly with freestyle practice, but invite in minimal “external” focused movement to maximize what gets missed or skipped over too quickly in dance environments. Sessions are curated with sensitivity to the cycles of time, seasons, and collective resonance. You may be guided into meditation, somatic and embodied practice, journaling, self-inquiry, and unique processes. As always with FYF, you are given permission to work in a way that feels best for you.
