Would you like to be supported with gentle attention as you experience the coastal landscape as a listening body?
Do you feel called to join the creative hum of nature?
Would you like to be part of a group of women exploring together – seeing one another generously, and sharing poetry and simplicity?
This series is an invitation to gather with women and move in conversation with the coast. Together we will open to the land, to voice and to our senses, awakening our connection with the body, with each other and with nature.
This is a women’s body-based space, held for those who have lived female-bodied experience.
These sessions are open to those curious about – or already practising – movement and dance, creative expression, poetry, song and the pulsing vitality of earth, tide and sky.
Body & Voice is a series of seven day-long workshops and one introductory morning. You are welcome to book individual sessions or join the full arc of the series. We meet in village halls / dance studios in morning sessions, and explore coastline in the afternoons.
Sessions 1 & 2 are for Women of Colour – offering room to gather, move and explore in shared lived experience.
Sessions 3–8 are open and inclusive – welcoming all women.
Each full day includes: morning studio practice, afternoon exploration on location.
This is a Movement for Life community group project, supported by National Lottery Community Funding.
