Welcome to our final session of 2024 - A Special Winter Warmer edition of Moving Connections, with an extended event packed with full-body nourishment and deliciousness, explorative movement and playful connections, inviting us to meet, mingle, mellow and more..

Inspired by various freestyle movement and partner dance practices, Moving Connections is a chance to move and be moved, to relax into our bodies and to explore connections through simple exercises that support us to meet and connect without words, in a light and embodied way.

Our special Winter Edition will start in the usual way with playful meetings and moving connections, and flow into an extended free-flow space with various treats and surprises, plus time to eat and meet each other through song, sharing food, drinking yummy teas and even snuggles..

Schedule:
Please arrive before 7pm so we can share the journey together.

We'll start with a gentle warm up before being guided through a series of simple exercises that invite us to connect with ourselves and others in a heartfelt and curious way. 

This final MC session of the year will include some exciting additions to the evening and plenty of space to chill together and share food and refreshments also..  (see the additional option to reserve your vegan curry!)
