Welcome to our peer-led support sessions, open to all those who facilitate some kind of authentic movement practice for groups.

The intention of these sessions is to give ourselves as facilitators, the opportunity for mutual support in our work, both through holding space for each other to move through and explore, and in sharing conversations that support us through some of the challenges and joys that arise in doing what we do.

Our session structure follows these lines, with different members holding different elements each month:

Sundays 2pm - 6pm:
2.00pm - Welcome Warm Up (Unguided)
2.30pm - Opening Circle and Check-in
2.45pm - An offering of exercises / guided structures
3.30pm - Break / Feedback / Chat / Tea
3.45pm - Movement / Exchange Session (Unguided)
4.30pm - Discussion Groups on chosen topic
5.00pm - Grounding Bodywork in Groups
5.30pm - Circle and Closing Shares

Each section of the afternoon will offer both an opportunity to practice holding these various parts of such an event, and also, most importantly, the chance to dive into ways of moving, being, feeling, exploring and furthering our understanding on various levels, of our personal and group practice, through movement, reflection and feedback.

The inspiration and vision comes from a feeling of what would really help me in where I am at right now in my life. My journey through dance has been one of a personal practice, and though I've been on many trainings and extended programmes and courses, I have never felt the kind of ongoing support and opportunities that I'm feeling this journey could provide.

Application
If you are keen to join us and feel you'd benefit from being part of this group, please complete this short application, as we'd love to get a feel for you and what you are currently facilitating and working with, in the realms of Authentic Movement Spaces. We'll be in touch soon with more info and to share the access code for tickets if we can offer you a place.

There are a maximum of 16 spots for each session, so please do apply asap if you feel you'd like to join us.

Your Contract
By signing up to any of these monthly sessions, you will be agreeing to the following:
1. To take overall responsibility for your own well-being and safety. Whilst the group purpose, structures and sessions are intended to offer us mutual support, we need to understand that we are each ultimately responsible for ourselves.
2. To carry an awareness for the group process in balance with our own personal care and needs, so that we can support the flow of the sessions and all that unfolds within them.
3. Confidentiality around other's names / experiences within each session and throughout the year, as well as after the journey is complete.
4. Jointly managing the space we will be using, so that we can get maximum benefit from the time we spend there together.

Remaining 4 Sessions:
13th October
3rd November 
24th November
8th December (Our Celebration!)

This series of events is not a commercial venture. 

Personally I feel that in being part of something like this, in which facilitators of different and diverse forms of authentic movement can come together and support each other through conversations of the body, mind and soul, feels to have so much value and meaning, that I'm willing to put a great amount of attention into this offering, first and foremost for myself, but also because I feel a call to support and learn from each other as peers and potentially, hopefully, great friends that share a passion for human connection through movement in the many magical, mystical and simple ways in which we can facilitate it to occur.

I am charging a small amount to cover the admin time and the cost and risk in hiring the venue plus buying us some lovely snacks and refreshments each month too - I aim to get as much from being part of this creation, as I'd like for each and every one of us who joins.

The cost will be £25/ Session, else £65 for all 4 remaining Sundays

Looking forward to connecting and supporting each other through this journey.
