AUTHENTIC MOVEMENT
PRIVATE SESSIONS & WORKSHOPS
MOVEMENT-BASED MEDITATION and INQUIRY
Authentic Movement workshop in London, 2011, co-facilitated with Joe Stoller
Influenced by Jung’s “active imagination” and indigenous traditions, Authentic Movement has been used for over eight decades in artistic/creative, spiritual, psychotherapeutic, and social contexts. The form is simple and profound, involving self-directed, spontaneous movement in the receptive presence of an experienced witness. It is a form of embodied dreaming in which the personal and collective unconscious can be explored, digested, delighted in, and integrated back into waking life.
Authentic Movement is a very useful practice for consciousness development and inner work, as well as developing secure attachment and relational healing, whether practiced in a one-on-one, couples work, or group context. It helps practitioners access the cellular knowing that resonates beneath the constrictions of the personality, restoring a sense of authority to one’s own bodily-knowing. Interpersonal skills, empathy, connected autonomy, and relational intuition are natural developments that result from ongoing practice.
I have both practiced and professionally facilitated Authentic Movement private sessions and workshops internationally for over two decades. It has been the central mindfulness and embodiment practice throughout my life and one of the most precious containers for my own spiritual maturation. I currently offer sessions for individuals and couples, as well as group workshops and consultations for newly forming peer groups, around the country and abroad. I am a Registered Psychotherapist in the State of Colorado, and a graduate of the 2-year Comprehensive Hakomi Training in Experiential Psychotherapy, and so I bring these therapeutic skills into my private and group facilitation as well.
“Thank you so much for the session yesterday Lindsay! I really appreciate being able to talk frankly with you about any subject; shame, sexuality, religion, spirituality, existential angst. Such a blessing to feel the safety to express any and every feeling, emotion, attitude and point of view without fear of judgement or shaming. I think that you have a remarkable capacity to hold the space of an infinitely expandable permeable vessel of therapeutic containment: a fabric of relationship so vast that the warp and weft of your presence, attention, and empathy is more space than thread. Much appreciation, and I hope you have a fabulous trip!!!”
