Slowing Down to Connect: Movement with Katy Dunn

The body is where anxiety can be felt at its most intense, however it is also where we can find sanctuary, creativity and resilience. The modern world rarely allows time to slow down. Days can be spent living in our head or on autopilot, which can leave us disconnected from our bodies, from our instincts and from our natural habitat. Yet, slowing down is one of the things that can help us find our footing.

During this workshop, dance movement psychotherapist Katy Dunne will support you to connect to your body through movement. Participants will be encouraged to move and explore their somatic (bodily) response to the climate crisis, without becoming overwhelmed by feelings, sensations and fears. Movement explorations will encourage participants to respond with self-compassion, creativity and connection to foster a sense of hope, belonging and purpose.
