Emotion in Motion
Exploring emotional freedom through primal movement, vocalization with live African drums
There are no good, bad, light or dark emotions, only emotions that need to be fully expressed. Have you ever girdled, stifled or half-assed your emotions? Have you been called “too much” because others could not handle all of who you are? Are you shut down emotionally or looking to be more expressive? If so, join Bernadette Pleasant on an emotional tour that creates space for you to fully express and be embodied. You will explore emotions from joy to rage and everything in between in a playful movement workshop.
What does it feel like to move joy and lust without holding back? How do you move rage knowing that it will pass? Emotion in Motion is a passionate fusion of sensual movement, dance, meditation, creative visualization and celebration of the human form. Inspired by African, Tribal and Free Dance interwoven with the sensual, healing happens on a primal level and your capacity for empathy expands. Evocative in nature, Emotion in Motion welcomes and celebrates all ages, backgrounds and bodies. Drawing from Bernadette’s experiences as a Somatic practitioner, her workshops invite participants to experience a deep sense of joyful awakening, affirmation and divine connection to one’s self where they leave feeling enriched, more grounded and reconnected.
