Together\, we will practice seeing and being seen\, moving and witnessing\, speaking and holding sile nce.\n\nIf you’ve attended a prior Authentic Movement Immersion with Lil lian at WildHeart\, you can expect this one to be slightly different\, as we’ll be centering our practice around a period of silence. On Friday ev ening\, we’ll establish the container and guidelines for entering into s ilence\, and then move into Saturday in silent practice. At the end of the day on Saturday\, we’ll gently break our silence through drawing\, soun ding\, and speaking.\n\nAuthentic Movement is a contemplative\, body-based practice rooted in expressive movement therapy\, where participants explo re the unconscious mind through the moving body. The practice brings focus to the relationship between a mover and a witness\, fostering states of c ompassion\, curiosity\, and non-judgment. With eyes closed\, the mover lis tens inwardly to impulses\, sensations\, feelings\, and images\, allowing their inner experience to guide self-directed movement. The witness cultiv ates open receptivity\, non-judgment\, and inner awareness as they hold sp ace for the mover’s expression. In this exploration of “seeing and bei ng seen\,” participants deepen their sense of trust and self-awareness t hrough the practice of Authentic Movement.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDuring our time together\, we will also explore somatic movement principles and prac tices that support and deepen our experience of Authentic Movement. This m ay include time for dialogue and guided somatic movement explorations.\n\n During this immersion\, you will:\n\n Engage in self-directed movement wi th a witness\, and witness others in turn\n Be guided into movement throu gh somatic prompts and exploration\n\n\n Cultivate relational attunement and nonjudgmental attention\n Explore new ways of knowing through the bod y\n Engage in collective art-making as a way to integrate your experience \n Practice silence and intentional dialogue with others\n\nThis is an em ergent practice container\, meaning we will co-create the experience toget her. As a facilitator\, Lillian works intuitively and improvisationally\, responding to what is happening in the moment. You can expect a gently hel d structure with space for the unexpected.\n\nDepending on the weather\, w e may take the practice outdoors and include movement and witnessing in na ture.\n\n \;\n\n$150-250 registration\n\n2 free spots reserved for BIP OC Folx\n\n\n\n\n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://kingstonhappenings.org/wp-content/upload s/2026/10/Banners-35.jpg CATEGORIES:@Featured,Dance,Educational classes and lectures LOCATION:WildHeart: Center for Performance and Embodiment Practice\, 183 Ea st Road\, Wallkill\, NY\, 12589\, United States GEO:41.588939;-74.05362 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=183 East Road\, Wallkill\, NY\, 12589\, United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=WildHeart: Center fo r Performance and Embodiment Practice:geo:41.588939,-74.05362 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:America/New_York X-LIC-LOCATION:America/New_York BEGIN:STANDARD DTSTART:20261101T010000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0400 TZOFFSETTO:-0500 TZNAME:EST END:STANDARD END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
