Earth Body: Midwinter Movement for All with Rulan Tangen – G25020101
Our online booking system is down. Please call 505.685.4881 or 505.685.1019 to register for this workshop. We apologize for the inconvenience.
EARTH BODY: Movement for All offers a midwinter retreat of “ Somatic Spirals of Sensuous “ : slow and gentle movement and practices that reconnects body to a sense of place through imagination and intuition, memory and full-bodied observation and listening. Movements for morning awakening, midday vitality, and night rest, will ignite full bodied sensations alongside writing, art and nature. Together we will experience renewal with multi sensory creative practices inspired by the organic spirals and curvilinear forms inherent in nature: the sacred geometric forms of mountains and snow crystals, thawing into flow of rivers, and twists of roots and tendrils moving towards water and light.
Led by a dance artist with decades of international experience, Rulan is also a cancer survivor who has experienced the life-giving power of simple restorative and intuitive movement. She now extends her professional dance dedication to offering elemental forms that are accessible to all, from a spirit of encouragement, empowerment and individual sovereignty to adapt and grow through movement.
No dance background is necessary. Those at advanced physical level will enjoy deepening the purpose of movement; and those with interest in trying forms such as yoga, stretch/strength, tai chi , breathwork, will be nourished by EARTH BODY’s uniquely poetic expressions of motion! A February midwinter retreat offers a gentle flow of movement arts that are both relaxing and invigorating, connecting the inner dreamscape to the outer landscape through eco-somatic embodiment practices.
