Authentic Movement

I first encountered Authentic Movement at a dance movement therapy training. We were honored to be led by Joan Chodorow herself. Then I looked up the direct followers of Janet Adler and this method (The Discipline of Authentic Movement) affected me so deeply that I set out to study it. I've been practicing for 10 years and I feel like I'm at the beginning... but at the same time, we have deep experiences with our clients, both during regular meetings and especially at weekend AM retreats.

Authentic movement is a specific discipline in the field of dance-movement therapy and Mindfulness practice. Movement meditation focused inward, where we listen to our body and the impulses that come. We then allow the movement to unfold spontaneously. The body speaks in the present moment. The process takes place with closed eyes and unfolds actively in the form of imagination and expressiveness with the participation of a witness. We learn to cultivate the conscious attention of both the mover and the active witness. Authentic movement is based both on the concept of Jungian active imagination and Buddhist psychology and is practiced all over the world. The process is profoundly transformative and its practice brings unconscious processes to the surface, which are then consciously processed verbally or artistically.

Who is Authentic Movement intended for?

.... just for you, if you want to meet yourself and turn your inner critic into an inner friend and supporter.  Authentic movement is  a path to self-confidence, self-concept, to own autonomy, but also a path against burnout, processing trauma, and overall well-being.

What’s included: 


Authentic Movement practice every day, 3-4 hours.

Trip to the Valley welcomed by a local Bedouin woman with her delicious tea, bread on fire and fruits.

Overnight Trip to the Desert. We will visit the marvelous dunes and canyons with unrealistic stone formations. We will sleep the night in the bedouin tent, sharing tea and stories around the fire. The price includes all the meals, mattresses, and sleeping bags for us to stay warm and feel good. 

This trip is a powerful heart-opening experience itself. Imagine bringing our active attention to all the sensations and creating a safe container for self-expression.

 

If it is your first time in Dahab, we will guide you through the place, showing you the best places to dive or snorkel, to eat and hang out, and the best spots to contemplate in silence. We are also here to help you arrange the accommodation and airport transfer if needed.
 

*The flight, accommodation, and food (apart from the Overnight Desert Trip) are not included in the price.

 

Dates: 5-9 of March

Price range: 200 – 250 Eur. To acknowledge that we all have different backgrounds and circumstances, we have decided to make a flexible price range so you can choose the comfortable amount to pay. It can be paid in local Egyptian currency, in cash, or transferred on account. 

 

We don’t have any volunteer positions for this event, but if you want to attend and cannot afford it, you can also explain your motivation and circumstances by writing to us directly with such a request. As the group is forming, we will see what we can do and what options will be available for you to attend.
