To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment
RALPH WALDO EMERSON
Authentic Movement is a simple but profound movement discipline in which the mover moves with her/his eyes closed in front of a witness. The mover is not ‘performing’ for the witness but instead waits to see what the body suggests, thus experiencing the sense of ‘being moved’ as opposed to ‘moving.’ As the mover moves, she also tracks her movement, refining her own inner witness accentuated by the external witness who tracks the mover and offers her own responses to the movement. This facilitates a journey into the inner world of the psyche.
Authentic Movement practice brings alive the transformation/healing possible with compassionate witnessing. It creates a safe and sacred space within which we can encounter both our wounding and our potential. This embodied encounter of more than one way of being results in a far more expansive sense of Self. We begin to access that part of ourselves that is greater than our wounding, the Self with a capital S as defined by Jung.
The group will be facilitated by Brinda Jacob-Janvrin.
Facilitator
Brinda Jacob-Janvrin is a movement-based expressive arts therapist and a performer with more than 30 years of performance experience. A qualified counsellor, she has been working extensively with movement and arts therapies since 2003. A practitioner and facilitator for Authentic Movement and Natural Dreamwork, Brinda is passionate about the arts, the mysterious workings of the Psyche-Soma and connections between the Body and the Earth.
Brinda is deeply interested in working with the Unholy Trinity (as described by C. Jung) of the Body, the Shadow and the Feminine as portals into the deeper Self. Her work with the feminine and the body has led to the firm belief that reclaiming and having agency around our desire is not only an antidote to the voices and violence of patriarchy, but also a path towards true empowerment. This in turn has led to the creation of the Desire project in 2017.
