Inner wilderness simply means to allow the flow of energy that is raw, untamed, and honest. It means that we don’t need to control what is happening inside of us. That can be scary at times. Especially in times of fear, crisis, or depression. Because we can feel overwhelmed and scared of what is inside of us. We can even be afraid of ourselves.
The usual reaction to that fear is self-control. We tighten up our muscles, restrain breathing, and live from our heads. In certain moments, that was perhaps the only possible coping mechanism. However, our inner aliveness screams to be seen. Often it does that in the form of exhaustion or pain. The nature of our bodies is to be in the movement of life. It will get our attention one way or another.
In this movement class, we will allow the honesty of our body to show us what is real inside of us. We will move with emotions, memories, and projections, without trying to control them, to the very core of our being. We will bring ourselves to the place where all things end and begin at the same time. We will find a way to connect ourselves to our authentic, wild, and essential self.
What is a movement class?
The body-oriented and mindfulness-centered approach lies in two principles: the body and the psyche are inseparable, and the second is that healing exists within us.
The purpose of movement practices is to be fully present in the body. Life starts feeling easier as we learn to live “in the body” rather than outside.
By consciously moving the body, we increase awareness and allow the flow of energy to open. With regular practice, we open the door to authentic expression and start living as we are at the core of our being.
Movement practices stem from the origins of body-centered psychotherapy and have developed throughout the years. We use structured movement and breathing exercises focusing on emotional regulation and expression. We use conscious dance, storytelling, meditation, and guided fantasies. We also use authentic movement, which means that we allow our body’s wisdom to find a spontaneous way of reaching balance and expression.
