Description

What is CBC? 
Contact Beyond Contact is an embodiment-movement practice that helps us draw us into a gentle, introspective frame from which we can align body, mind, and heart. 

By building a shared movement vocabulary and framework for our experiences, we come to a shared understanding and attuned connection.

Reflections and insights build until we find flow and movement together in collective dance.

You can check out a few examples of CBC in practice here and here.

Facilitator
Nathaniel is a PhD scientist rooted in a material understanding of human biology, working to advance interventions in mental health. Over time, his path has expanded to include somatic practices—beginning with yoga, tantra, and ecstatic dance—as a way to connect more directly with the body and its intelligence.

He facilitates Contact Beyond Contact as a somatic practice for attunement to self, environment, and others, offering space for expression and healing.

He is also committed to building community spaces that foster presence, connection, and shared transformation—where science and movement, insight and experience, can meet.

Please plan to arrive 5-10 minutes early to check in seamlessly. Due to the nature of the class, we cannot permit entry once the practice begins. 

We encourage wearing clothing that you feel comfortable to move in.
