UNFOLDING AGAIN – BODY MAPPING IN CYCLES
For Participants with Body Mapping Experience
Body Mapping is a creative therapeutic process that allows you to feel into and creatively communicate the stories that you live in your body. It involves creating a life-size representation of your body on canvas and using images, symbols, objects/natural materials and words to map out different living places in you: Places that are full of life, places that pain, and places that hold hope and potential for the future. In the process of creating the body map you will discover new links between these places in you and gain a deeper understanding of your own power to create health within you and through your way of living in this world.
This Deepening Intensive is designed for women who have previously created a body map and would like to continue the process. The workshop takes place in an intimate and confidential group setting (2-4 participants) which makes it possible for each woman to fully take her place and space whilst being safely held and accompanied during her personal explorations and discoveries. The focus will be on entering the evolving and cyclical landscape of our feminine body.
The workshop interweaves drawing, painting and sculpting with body work, movement and personal story telling. Gentle care and sensitive attention is given to the small and big things that move us – then, now, and again and again. I also continue to hold with warmth and confidence those experiences that are stored with pain or lack of feeling in your body. The process of continued body mapping allows you to sink deeper into the landscape of your lived body and discover its different seasons. It enables you to gain a longer-term perspective on habits and difficulties and to marvel at your body’s innate wisdom which generates change over time.
Workshop Fee: £170 (£80 deposit), inclusive of art materials and coffee break. Please bring your own lunch or use one of the cafes along Stokes Croft.
